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

flip the stem and its flat.

[Decoy]

saw a bike with a steeringwheel for handlebars like this

wonder why I haven't seen more before!

[the_state]

my kilo tt has finally shipped. just in time for it to be cold in ny. awesome.

[seenmy]

so she is finally nearly done,the tyres were such a fucking ballache to get on!

[synj_greatest]

I'm 5'11" how would a 54 cm frame feel?

Shut the fuck up and learn how to use the internet! A similar version of this question has been asked 3 times in the last two pages, and any answer that doesn't you that it depends on a ton of variables such as your leg/torso proportions, the geometry of the frame, and the way a particular manufacturer measures their frames is complete bullshit.

This thread used to be a pretty decent place to talk bikes with supertalkers...but the last few pages have been a constant mish-mash of awesome pictures and stupid "first post on a bike forum" questions. I thought it was going to be cool when Superfuture opened up registration again...but, with the destruction of threads like this one, I am starting to think it was an awful move.

Sorry for the rant, but seriously. Getting back to bikes...that Colnago is pretty excellent, though I would recommend you get some bar ends or grips of some sort so you avoid punching a hole in your hand.

[seenmy]

yeah i stil need grips as my bike store had sold out of the ones i wanted

Also...forgot to ask in my fit of rage above...but how close is the bike to all-Italian, hard to tell what some of the components are from the pics, but it looks like it could be close.

[mlproject]

that colnago looks real good. even though i know why you have risers, that thing would look so tasty with some period cinelli drops

[seenmy]

yeah,i may get some drops for show although im giving risers a try as i just dont ride in drops in the city.

at the minute the stem is un branded,and i have a hattaswan head set ,nitto riser,philwood rear hub

rest is all campagnolo and saddle is vintage selle regal

I apologize I don't usually visit sf much and I should have checked the last few pages. Frame is a 2008 fuji and the length from the floor to my assbone is 76.2 cm.

if you read more than 5 pages of this thread you would also hear me say GO TO COMPETITIVE CYCLIST AND DO THE FIT CALCULATOR because i think i say it at least ever 3-5 pages. your height will not determine your bike size. there are a ton of factors. i'm 6'2", but typically ride a 58-59 because i have a short inseam... repeater said he rides a 60 with the same height. get YOUR measurements and get a bike that fits YOU.

[knucks]

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???

MMM a Surly Karate Monkey

fuck gotta quote this agan..i love itt

[the Repeater]

In my mind, skinny tubes/lugged frame = low-pro box section rims. 32 spokes please.

Lovely otherwise, if not incredibly, incredibly white.

I dunno man, my velocity fusions hold up so well for commuting I'd be hard pressed to go fully low profile. 36 spokes though, so they're overbuilt commuter wheels.

[the Repeater]

I meant for seenmy's bike.

It's really easy to overbuild a wheel these days with the rims that are out there. I mean, FFS, Shimano had those wheels with like 8 and 12 spokes and those fuckers hold up too. Not necessarily ride that great, but they hold up.

Low pro rims ride sooooo much better than mid-pro or higher, it's uncanny.

[theetruscan]

I meant for seenmy's bike.

Fair enough, but I think lugs and small diameter tubing can look good with medium profile rims at least.

My bike (I think) is an example:

not a great pic of the bike or me, but it gets the idea across.

[mlproject]

^ noobz pay attention. class is in session.

[seenmy]

i know lo profile and drops would be purist way to go,but not for me this pretty much what i pictured in my mind so Im happy,not an ideal city bike as its a theft prone but il just live with that.just spent sometime messing round in my apt trackstanding and tight circles,

[kenthenoob]

both bikes are very nice, seenmy/truscan.

[maxdesu]

might be a long shot, but anyone wanna get ride of a rear wheel for cheap?

the threads where my lockring goes stripped on my hub..

could be anything really.

purple deep v and you got my money though.

[permanent]

heres mine.. somewhat completed bikes.. and a couple other projects in progress

[seenmy]

nice,sweet bike rack also

[camdiamond]

wanted to brighten up the bike for a bit of fun.

Is there any reason why your rear knog light is facing forwards?

[camdiamond]

Is there any reason why your rear knog light is facing forwards?

I twisted it to far around when trying to turn it on when riding, it normally faces to the right so cars can see it easier.

[xxandyarmada]

ditch that aerospoke. please.

[camdiamond]

I have more wheel sets, this is my "funny" wheel.

Makes people smile when I ride to work.

I change wheel depending on the style of riding or the mood I am in.
