Wow, not much of a fork crown there...
I always thought that DA crank and BB was the duck's guts, with the hollow forgings and the needle bearings, but the set I have isn't even anodised; it's just poxy old clearcoat! WTF Shimano.
Hey, why does it look like a steel copy of an old Cannondale?
...Hey hey, doesn't that pair of Gatorskins demote it to GBP?

very pricy
Cheaper than replacing a steerer...
And even if you've got 1" threadless, I doubt there's a 31.8 stem you won't need a shim for.
Looks fine on aluminium, but yeah, pushing it on steel... But if that's what you're doing, this is the thread you'll be looking at.
The Thomson X2 is kinda flush, but pretty bulky- it's not a suggestion, this pic is just to illustrate a 9/8" stem on a 1" steerer...

Mental. Any more pics of that one?

Totally belongs in this thread

A mate just gave me this shirt, hoping it's only relevant for another fortnight

This may be heresy, but I never liked the Dino. Proportions are weird.
Yep. Here's some more heresy: I like the F40 best

grumpy middle aged man alert.
Same here I guess

Sounds like you've just ridden shit or badly set up discs, hydraulics
are pretty much fit and forget. If you're just doing roady/fixie shit
then a good rim brake is plenty good enough, just not as good.No, I don't have any bikes with discs. Worked on plenty as a mechanic though, during their introduction to road bikes. Some of what I witnessed would've been down to teething issues, but the rest just goes with discs.
Some folks will never experience a single issue for sure, but when you do get an issue it can be a proper PITA, unlike with rim brakes where just about any drama is a piece of piss to sort, if dramas with rim brakes were even a thing.

Lol, that's another planet from me
I can't understand how it isn't obvious that if you have a choice where to add weight, then it goes in the bottom of the seat tube or thereabouts.
