she took the saw to the tube because she needed the alu? what the fuck

If you had a bottle in a seat tube mounted cage it would cover the branding, the decal placement seems like a lame attempt to be different for it's own sake but actually doesn't work. Pretty bike though.

lots of 80's has writing there actually. just like many frames from early 80s had just one bottle cage. but yeah :|

waht the hell is going on here. 11 speed levers/cranks and the rear mech doesn't look like it. nor do the rest of the bike

nevermind I get it now. Someone is on the steel is real trip and discovered campy is doing "affordable" 11speeds now
but those rims/spokes can >>>>>

so the 'Dale and the Chinarello are actually hers?

:)

No I ride the dale, the concept and the chinarello and the other projects in different states of completion around the house.
:) She rides the bob and occasionally the vitus.

for every 2 bikes i get myself i get her one. so its all good in my house. Living space, not so much

^ I want my Death Trap 'Ding' pista concept 06 like this setup... Still not sure about risers though but seems to be the best 'pub bike' way.

do it. its the ultimate combo platter. concept, trispoke, risers :P

good work on that seat mast. beaut

The hardshell jacket is nice, but felt a bit stiff compare to my softshell.

...

Bigup to the most high, raphafari !

always good life advice in the rapha tread.
I dont think i change bedding as often as once a week. possibly twice a month.

I wouldn't bring individualism into an argument around the look of Colnago's

Its very subjective isnt it. Just like modulation in general. Press harder to stop faster :| I never really felt any issues with braking in except the difference between carbon/aluminum and dry/wet conditions. But then again I dont have any 10 minute descents around here.

I dont have any experience with the skeleton brakes, im upgrading from the previous gen record and chorus brakes in wich I'm way to blunt to feel any difference.

This - I have dabbled with fancy brakes, but the braking I get from Record callipers is a whole different ball game. Plus, they cost me less than the fancy ones and look nicer. Groupset brakes from now on.

Yeah I think i'll just stick with campagnolo in this case. They at least seem to have consistent performance across the board with weight of the component as the only variable.

If you're only bothered about the look (and shimano avoidance), you could also consider Modolo....
Hipsterpoints-a-go-go - and not too shabby at stopping you either.

Its just that i'm hell bent on these since I saw them. 180 is the cheapest I can find.

Clearly we're on a different (metaphorical) page, I thought you wanted to treat yourself. The Tektro R530s I mentioned up at the top of the page are what I had before the Revl, and they worked just fine. Finding the pad you like best makes more difference than there is between cheap Tektros and DuraAce when new, although the DuraAce obviously keep their as-new feel for longer.

Looks and comfort over performance for me. I dont think I could ever bring myself to fitting something shimano on my bikes. And I'm just 150 pounds so I dont to squeeze levers very hard either. I just want white brakes, not black or silver. It seems that just the white coat of color ads a 100 quid to every model.

^ The world's most generic HHSB. Maybe it's because almost every fixed gear I see here is a fucking Leader 725 OTP.

no foot retention, thats new

/\
I did n;t have the front to reply
'"are there?""

I have yet to se a colnago I like. Its vulgar an unitalian

Photo of him politely riding it wearing Rapha has killed the illusion for me.

hairy legs >>>>>>>

dude the purple vitus frames are the best ones. Dont change it.

What do you want from your brakes? If it's stopping, every boutique brake is benchmarked against DuraAce for a reason; for normal brake levers, you'll need BR-7800, not the latest ones. Of the weight weenie brakes, EEBrake and M5 probably do best to match the performance of DuraAce at a lighter weight. For bling, the Revl¹ gives you your carbon fix without having to spend £1000 on AX-Lightness, albeit at the weight of a cheap aluminium brake like Planet-X. Finally, if you want to go fast, the TriRig Omega² is the most aero brake you can buy new, and unlike early adopters (cough) you'll get the rollers on the brake arms as standard, which is a mod I had identified as desirable when I got mine and started looking at hopping it up.

aah perfect. wanted to ask you for this. I need a pair of vanity brakes in my road bike life. I love selling lines like "The Omega was truly developed in the wind tunnel"

The revl is far too expensive at 300+

Witnessed an odd and moderately dangerous riding style from a tall bloke on a '12 Histogram with speedplays on the morning commute from Grays Inn Road onto Clerkenwell Road.

Barely altered his changed his cadence, steamrolling through potential hazards in dense traffic and open road at the same speed. Never doubted anyone hadn't seen him. And never doubted they would wait until he had passed. Sort of a jaded by morning traffic so russian roulettes it via slow motion alleycat moves.

A gentleman on a green/metallic mercian with a saddlebag displaying the same behavior on old street tonight. My spotting was swerving like a snake though and displayed apparent joy of doing so. Almost took out a bloak on a black somethingsomething with a shaved head and rich facial hair.

purist water bottle as far as i can tell

I think Chainbreaker has a pair in his parts bin, maybe? I've got some 960s and quite like them. Because they're ugly, mostly.

not even on the same planet. :D "represents the cutting edge in road cycling exotica. Using autoclave molded carbon fiber in striking all white or raw carbon finishes,"

this 111mm Campag sealed bb is going to be ISO taper isn't it? Suitable for SG75s?
