28s out of choice or cuz they're only ones available? I'm looking to get ATACs but still wondering if the cleats will be compatible le for the DZR shoes. I can't be caught tap dancing, tho I did buy some diadora roadies that were way too small (anyone around sz7 interested?)

Ordering an IRO...Can't wait for it to come.

All MTB cleats fit the same shit.

Since you got babby feet the tread might be tight on big platform pedals. Use a utility knife and make it miss.

Yep.

28s simply because 25s have had really shitty reviews. I don't skid much, but if it wears down to red after a weeks use, eh. Not worth the money.

Plus, I love the feel of 28s in the back and 25s in the front. Oh so soft of a ride they are.

It it had a longer top tube I would be all over it like white on rice.

What do you ride now? If one would ride this like a 'normal' bike, you'd wanna be riding like a 52 or so to translate over to this. Level toptube length is going to be pretty short on this.

Anyone see the new Trek Madones? Jesus Christ if they didn't rip off both Look and BMC's paint. WHY!?!??? Now I got something that looks like a Trek!????

Kit is nice though, if not typical Craft boring.

After ordering my IRO I've been looking at some other bikes and am slightly regretting my decision...

Any of these seem like they might've been better choices. I have a friend who would buy mine from me, would anybody recommend any of these off of bikers direct? My max would be about $450, but trying to keep it lower.

The kilo's are well liked by Bikeforums' SSFG forum. The others are too, but the kilo is very popular.

[wild style]

Stick with the IRO.

[wayoutwest]

That IRO is a quality built bike. The Kilos are ok, but no where near your Angus. That is such a solid deal. I almost want to sell my bike to someone in town and buy one.

[f50fan]

I agree, keep the IRO if you can afford to.

[Dioxic]

Alright, Thanks guys.

I'll stick with the IRO, part of the reason I was having doubts prior was because of the aluminum v.s. steel frame, I thought the kilos would have an advantage, especially with longer rides. Hopefully I'll be able to work up to 15 or 20 mile rides with the IRO. I've never had a fixed gear / single speed before, can't wait!

I have a Bridgestone NJS Frame 54 / 54 i had a concorde pursuit last summer and i kind of regret that i sold that one..

your bike is steel

[wayoutwest]

your bike is steel

He knows this, I think. I think some of the bikesdirect bikes are aluminum, and he thought an aluminium bike would be better on longer rides. 15-20 miles is not that difficult on SS/FG. It is more than possible on an IRO Angus.

[Dioxic]

Sorry, after reading that I realize I was pretty unclear. wayoutwest is indeed correct. I was referring to the bikeresdirect bikes being aluminum.

Thanks for the info guy. I + repped the people that I could. I'll take pics when it gets here and maybe any modifications I might do.

[duce.]

new lights ;o

[f50fan]

lol I've seen those before, but do they have white ones?

sort of weird having them red and facing forward.

[alphie]

I'm a real noob with bikes and I don't even understand half of the stuff you guys are talking about. But I want a bike, something for commuting? Can someone point me in the right direction to what kind of road bike should I get? There's not really much bike shops around here and I'm tired of wasting gas money, and this can be a real convenient workout for me as well. I'm 5'4 and my price range is $100-$300 for now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try a kilo tt from bikes direct or an iro angus

if those are too too much bikes direct also has cheaper options like the motobecane messanger and the windsor hour(both practically the same)

[GiZMO]

Can score older road bikes for 300 on craigslist

[alphie]

^Thanks guys. What would be the right size for my height?

[the Repeater]

Like a 50 or 52. Depends your and the specific bike's proportions.

[popeyejawns]

found a schwinn madison with the paint stripped off on CL for $330. is it even worth thinking about?

[Leeacto]

found a schwinn madison with the paint stripped off on CG for $330. is it even worth thinking about?

I think Madisons are generally fine, but for $300, you should be able to get a better CL bike

[popeyejawns]

can you name some models?

[the Repeater]

Yeah, why not? Pink tires are stupid obviously, but decent pickup nonetheless. You could negotiate if you feel like it.

Looks a bit big, you'd wanna try it probably.

[ben_253]

totally new to the bike world. thinking about this:

http://www.mojobike.com.au/build/

could i get something better for an entry level bike?

[kicks79]

Mojo is pretty cheap you'd be hard pressed to build up anything cheaper. You can try the hydrogen bikes that they have at sable and Argent and they have their own store in The Galleries Victoria. They have two models and are similarly priced.
