Bicyclettes

[fix.]

It is. And I'll be going.

[mlproject]

i'll be at the nyc premiere. probably the later showing.

[Minibigben]

I'm pretty excited for this premiere business. But I thought it was supposed to be out on DVD by now?

Also, anyone have opinions on Affinity frames? My pista is too small and thinking of getting one. I went to the store today, test rode one, felt pretty good and looks really good, love the pursuit style.

[mlproject]

the affinity frames are nice. i'm just not into the pursuit frames.

[Minibigben]

Sweet. Now that they're got the mlproject approval, I'm definitely going to get one. Pursuit is good for me because I have longer legs than I do torso, so it won't look like I have my seat jacked up as high. They're out of the black at the moment though . Another nice thing is that you can buy their frames without logos, but their logo is pretty cool, so I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.

Yah I've been waiting for that freaking DVD and they keep on delaying it.

How much are the affinity frames?

[baskew]

are those brooks bicycle seats comfy?

[knucks]

After they break in?

[stuntastic]

Brooks are good once the leather has softened up, A LOT.

The leather is real tough, but the shape of the saddles are real nice, and very comfortable.

Everyone Ive met that has one, have had them for years. Gotta buy some leather softener for mine, or sell it.

a brooks is like a frat house. it hazes your ass then it becomes a part of you.

[baskew]

I have this ultra small touring seat now, thats done everything to me but a cavity search, I need to switch it for something more comfortable.

[mlproject]

almost all of the old selle san marco shapes are super comfortable... rolls, turbo, concor, laser, regal...

[knucks]

I like my turbo..

[JonathanFrom508]

im like 5'3 yes short i know but give me a break what size bike should i be getting?

[stuntastic]

49-51..........

[knucks]

I would have to guess more towars the 49 end of the spectrum..there is a site that has a calculator for all this..maybe mlproject can chime in with the link

[baskew]

im like 5'3 yes short i know but give me a break what size bike should i be getting?

it really has more to do with your inseam then your total height (tho some will argue.)

I'm 5'8'' with a 28" inseam, I have to ride a 50, or I'll be riding scrot.

www.competitivecyclist.com

it'll take a good 20 minutes to do this right, but its totally worth it.

your fit depends on a lot of factors, including inseam for the seat tube and torso/reach for the top tube and stem.

[SAY CAR RAMROD.]

i just got my mercier kilo in the mail. I went with the 50, i'm about 5'9" and I don't remember what my inseam was. but i used that site. fits perfectly. thanks for the dude that recommended the 50 as well. god damn this bike is rad.

sorry for the relatively useless post. I'm just real stoked on riding this shit and my girlfriend is tired of hearing about it. Its stock now with a front break. i pretty much plan on riding it until i it breaks and swapping parts out as needed. i'm gonna save so much dinero on gas. haha.

peace.

[mlproject]

a 50? that seems small, but i could be wrong. the fit calculator works wonders.

[kenthenoob]

was in sf all day yesterday:

[prufrock]

my friend got his mercier the other day too. damn that is one UGLY ass stem and was your headset a little tight? we loosened it, but it still feels/sounds like shit. i guess we'll rebuild it with some proper phil's grease, it sounded a little dry.

sick bike, though. he got a 53 and i can ride it pretty well and i ride a 52cm (with a 30 inseam!) on my nishiki conversion. i wish i had a 50 though, but what ever - it fits and its not big deal, i just have my risers sweep back a little bit.

+1 for the mercier kilo TT.

change the stem and rebuild the headset = good deal for 350 usd.

Boob - Were you riding in SF yesterday?

Gonna be out there on Saturday with ment0s and Sycamore.

ment0s is getting a baby bike!!!
