Pm on the suginos.

Shame the sugino 75s arn't 170mm. Would be on them like dog in heat to a childs leg style.

Town fixed bike (59 Steamroller). But i like to ride fast. Stuck between, risers, drops and mustache bars.
Want to run a front brake. TT is a tad long so bullhorns are out of the question.

Fancied doing some reading into the pro's and con's. Maybe it'll be a get one of each and try them out.

I'm trying to decide what style bars to go for. Does anyone know of a good write up anywhere discussing the pros and cons of different style bars for different styles of riding.
Ta.

Arrived this morning. Super fucking quick. Top bloke. Thanks

i pm'd saying i can pickup now, not sure if you got it.... (dont mean to sound like too much off a keen bean)

I pm'd about the black turbo, no reply either yet.

dibs on the black turboo

Thanks for the effort. Maybe the owner will pop along :)

What stem is on this? (from page previous)

I'm looking for black nipples (LOL) Can't seem to find any that arn't the dt swiss 'pro lock' anywhere.
Also after black spokes, but CRC has dt swiss ones.

Any help on the black nippes? Ta.

What stem is on the bianchi? Thanks

Finally making some progress on my Bianchi beater and need to find the magic gear...

Would jump on the cranks if they were black :( Y u no black?

This seems a suitable place.

You never know who's watching. Nice cover ;)

Only bought a frame, so wouldn't know.

It's not the damage to the bike, it's the damage to me from possibly coming off i'm worried about. So thought it was worth a check to see if people run 170s problem free.

Awesome thanks. Guess i'll run 170s then, as should be better for my long legs. :)

Anyone running 170mm cranks? Having a 34" in-seam I'm considering them over 165mm.
Any insight/issues or will they run fine ground clearance wise. Thanks.

Sorry to 'bump' but does anyone have an input on the above decision between mavic open pro black (with braking surface) and CD's. With regards to creating an all black build.

Which would work best, for consistency with a stealth theme?

As above, snoozed and now the code isn't working. Or does it not come up till you finally pay and not at the checkout?

Anyone got another code? Thanks

LOL I've read the whole of this thread. Funny was had. Especially after regretting it and trying to take it back to beautiful blue.

Thanks. Seems silly to spend circa £90 more, yes they'd be slightly better looking but for £90 hmm.

Sorry to cross post from the pro-lite thread. Do you know if the decals can be removed from the rim? Kind of a crux point, as they're a bit to subtle!

Thanks, I've not got anything yet, wise. So appreciate the tip.

Also saw and posted in the pro-lite for £100ish wheelset thread. How would that set-up fair against what I had planned? Ignoring monetary difference. Appreciate the help :)

Out of interest are the stickers removable on these?

Seem good, from above. But what's the consensus on the hubs, comparative to what other hubs really?

So this be my new project, 59 steamroller. Got from the 'bay, maybe the previous owner is on here. To be used for work, I'm a super ninja, so it's going all black to keep my stealthiness up.

I'm thinking 36h(cant find any 32) gran compes laced with dt revoloution to open pros (CD or black can't decide). Sugino cranks, gearing around 75 to start i think then go from there and then drops or rises, will try both out. And then a turbo saddle i think. Stem and seat-post to be decided. MKS pedals and straps. Simple front brake and mini lever.

Has anyone seen Dia gran compes in black 32h front? Can't find any for a non stupid price @ £50+

Ta

So i'm looking at getting some mavic open pros. Seem in the price range and good.

However i'm going all black, gran compe hub & DT swiss revolution spokes , so i want thinking of using the CD over the Black with polished brake surfaces to keep it all black, however from pics they look more grey and also i hear bad things about the breaking surface on the CDs in the wet.
Anyone got opinions on them? Their colour and braking ability.

Or suggestions of an alternative wheel?
