  1. Wish I could get some hill running in, but this is Houston, theres like one hill here & its man made in a park far away from me.

    I feel for you, I lived in an area for a couple years without hills, but there was a beach with deep sand. I would run uphill both directions if I could.

    What kind of milage do you guys put in each week? Im usually just shy of 40mi.

  2. Downloaded gurren lagaan for some reason.

    Going to watch Dennou Coil first.

    I highly suggest you watch them in the other order. I never finished Dennou Coil but have watched gurren lagaan three times, it definitely won't dissapoint.

  3. Headsets - what you guys got?

    My Cayne Uno came w/ a standard Cane Creek, but I was thinking about switching to a Chris King. I don't do wild stuff on it (still have front brake).

    what do you think?

    threaded or thredless? i almost spent the extra money on a hatta swan but now im glad I didnt. the tange is complete sufficient.

  4. vetuv - I think cork or wood grips wood be pretty sweet

    great idea with the cork. i did some quick searching but all the grips i could find have a curve to them, to better fit your hand. know of any that are just flat and strait? maybe ill have to make my own. either that or cork tape with a hemp end finish. going for something clean.

  5. Agreed. Don't wanna take a core out of your thigh! Really nice bike, though. Love the raw steel and polished aluminum.

    heh, ive gotten that from a lot of people. I think more of a concern with the bars is the lack of grip. i dont want to put any standard grips on so i might find a drill press and make 1/4'' holes that my hands could grip to. either that or some drops with a bit of tape. what do you think?

    i also want to give wood bars a shot from adam breckman but i dont know how the tensile strength would compare. http://cargocollective.com/workerman#29705/Handlebars

  7. this is what i'm saving up for

    5d mkII + 24-70 L

    or maybe the nikon d700... i'm not really committed to ether platform. what's the equivalent nikon lens to the 24-70L?

    Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8

    lol, same lens but sharper! go nikon and join me with the d700.

  8. The frame on that build is by Alien Bikes http://www.alienbikes.com/gb.html and the drop bars look like Nitto B123s http://store.somafab.com/nib1crtrbar.html

    You'll have to do some searching to find a quill stem that looks quite as nice as that. I'm not sure where the forks are from, but I don't think they're Alien.

    Thanks. I did some research a week ago and spoke with Francesco the builder of http://www.bicibertelli.com/ bikes. I ordered all the parts and an alien frame, only a few more to arrive and its time to build! Ill post some photos when the project is done.
