You getting all this tasty NOS Campag from the master, http://www.campyoldy.co.uk/?

From bikeradar.com... Now that's aero.

[mlproject]

Thinking of buying this bike and maybe convert it to a fixed gear, or maybe I'll just keep it as it is. I can hopefully get it for 270$. I'm no bike expert so I thought I might ask you if you think it sounds like a fair deal.

that's a great price for that bike. DO NOT convert it. if you convert it, i'll come find you.

are Rossin's a good brand?

My buddies moving to japan and is selling his for $800.

Heard rossin's like the ferrari of track bikes ...

(been meaning to post a pic but been so busy with work)

rossin made a wide range of bikes, so it kind of depends on the tubing and his build. most of the track frames are great, though, and their paint jobs are usually pretty rediculous, which is always a +1 for me.

anyone here have any input on the brand Swobo?

decent starter bikes, they make some okay fixed gears for beginners...they can be kinda heavy though. nothing too special

[ipp]

i personally think the original swobo was awesome. The new swobo is still pretty decent, but their bikes are pretty average and funny looking.

[bouwnt]

i'm really interested in the folsom:

looks like a fun bike to throw around

backpedaling coaster ! yeah i'm feelin like a kid again

[youkinorn2]

Still need to pick up some white brake cable housing.

[mplsdunk]

the folsom would be a good bar hopping bike for sure.

umm does brooks brothers stores (the store wiht the fancy mens wear & etc) have saddles in their store?

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

[maxdesu]

fuck

I think I broke my bike, haha.

I was screwing around and sprinting against my friend (in a car) and as I was pedaling, like, something slipped like 1/8th of a rotation.

I almost ate it, so I jumped off and looked at my bike, and everything looked fine, so I jumped back on and pedaled a bit and it slipped a few times again.

I tried resisting a few times and it slipped a few times, and after that I couldn't really get it to slip again.

I'm thinking it's like a shitty cog? maybe my BB is fucked?

bad lockring?

anyone have any ideas?

shud be the lockring... bring it to ur lbs and get tightened back up...

[xxandyarmada]

yeah that's just cog slip, get your lockring off, tighten up your cog more, and then tighten up the lockring.

[mplsdunk]

buy a chainwhip/lockring tool. you are gonna need it more than once.

im 5' 7" and i was recommended to get a 54cm frame and im looking for a second opinion. what is a good size for me?

[so-so]

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Is this a joke?

it really depends on your body measurements and the frame that you are looking at. For someone who is 5' 7", a 54 sounds a little big. If you have a long inseam for your height, then it might work. Also the geometries of frames differ. What is your inseam? and what bike are you looking at?

I'm 5' 9" and i ride a 53, but i have short legs. I should probably be on something a little smaller, but it was either the 53 or a 49 (top tube was too short).

[herpsky]

im 6'1" and riding a 57cm.

it might be too big. i dunno.

my inseam is around 32." I don't have a specific bike that i'm considering.

[ipp]

so i'm guessing you have a pretty short torso. If you don't know what kind of bike you want, then the frame size shouldn't matter right now.

Nah.

Im 6'2 and Im ridin a 59 Pake (which feels too big) and a 57 Cannondale (which fits me fine.)

oh big woops.... lol

got names mixed up

brooks brother / brooks englad -__-

[jonathanschley]

my inseam is around 32." I don't have a specific bike that i'm considering.

for reference, i am 5'8" and my inseam is a true 31 and i ride a 51cm. 53 is too big for me, 52 is perfect.

[m1sterko]

any thoughts on this?

[highfructosecorn]

^ Is that a pista? I think it would look better with a flat stem, but otherwise I like it.

Unrelated: I am, unfortunately due to a crappy job moving, in the market for a new frame. Does anyone know if someone makes (new) frames with a 126mm rear spacing? I'd rather not mess with the hub.

[the Repeater]

Nah.

Who made the bike is going to be a big factor of "size." I'm 6'2 as well, best fit for me (most often w/ a 130mm stem) is on a 60, but I have bikes from 58 to 62, and with the stem sized out properly, they fit alike.

Manufacturers like Trek put short headtubes and long top tubes for a given size, some Euro brands use really short top tubes for a said "size."

Sadly, you need to factor seat tube angle into all this as well.

So i was going to lunch today and saw this while locking up my bike.

converted fixed mountain bike with clipless pedals and a disk brake???
