The fit of the frame will make the biggest impact on your comfort, then contact points that work for you including tyres at an appropriate pressure.
i have a new pair of continental gatorskins that i will be using for this new bike. i had continental ultrasports before these and vittoria rubino before that. all of them were 23c and i kept them at around 110-115psi
as far as frame fit i am 5"10 with a 30" inseam. my last frame was a 56cm and it seemed to fit well. i am looking at the medium size for the Lo Pro

Hello,
I have ridden a basic steel track frame "Urbanite Track Frame" from a local shop for the last few years. It has been fine, but now I am looking for something new, and I would like something a bit higher end/nicer.
I have my eye on an Affinity Lo Pro, but I am not 100% on it yet.
Nothing is really fixed for the parts either. I am excited to do a new build and pick out part, but I do have a wheel set (velocity deep v's) and parts from my old build that I can use while I am finding new parts.
What would you suggest as a nice, good quality (and good looking) steel frame?
I am also a little bit interested in aluminum frames. I love the look of LOW, Bianchi Super Pista, Cinelli and all that stuff but I don't really want a frame that is too uncomfortable for street riding.

has anyone used the b15 swallow? i like the look of it a lot but i did read a blog post about someone who got one and it sagged down to the point of being unridable within a few months i think it was. probably just a defective one.

hey guys,
i used a Selle Italia XO for a few years just because it came on a bike that I bought. I was an okay saddle. I still have it.
i really like the look of all these expensive saddles but i am wondering which one will feel the best for me. there isn't really a way to try them out except for finding someone who has one and borrowing it, right? -
hello everyone,
i'm Andre and i am not from London but this forum kept popping up as i was searching for fixed gear related frames and other stuff so figured it would be a good place to check out.
I am doing a new build with a Wabi classic frame and I wanted to try something different than my Velocity Deep V's this time, plus my Deep V's were orange, so I wanted something with a different, more subtle color for this build.
I liked the performance of the Deep V's, and I rode them for 4 years without any issues. I really like the look of the polished aluminum Deep V's, but I ended up getting a pair of Silver Open Pro's instead.
The first batch of reviews I read were pretty much positive, but I did read some people who have had issues with them going out of round, and I think some people mentioned cracking as well.
Has anyone had experience with these? I got them from Velomine built with formula hubs and 32h spokes.
Should I give these a try when they come or just put them on craiglist as new and flip them for as much as possible before they are "used" and less valuable?
