^ hate it.

thebonk: what bars are you using? I like that bend.

very nice. sorry, dont know anything about sixar.

Can anyone recommend a shoe (for use with ATAC Alium pedals) for someone who can't afford Sidi Dominators?

I just picked up a pair of sixsixone experts off ebay for very cheap - £28. granted, I've only had them for 2 days, but I like them and they are comfortable and stiff. durability is only the question now.

I kid, I kid.

thanks for the help.

now, do I have to wear special shoes or something?

expensive, yes. but they are worth it in the long-run. they are durable and do not stretch. you might find some used ones online somewhere. other than that, I do not know.

idiotic / clipless newbie question.

I recently purchased a pair of atacs. one says left and the other right.
now, is it left/right from sitting on my bike...or left/right from standing in front of the bike?

clips and straps. Although I'm getting more and more tired of them - I find that the strap always seems to move/expand when I skid. You know if better straps = less movement?

get some toshi straps.

nice frame al.
what size is that?

what's the story with that bike? link to flickr?

thanks

if I were to buy some leather, how would I create the perforations for stitching?

good luck trying to do that with a chain that isnt laying on the ground...if your chain is short enough or if you wrap it snuggly, a thief would have difficulty getting the proper angle to use long bolt cutters.

and if a thief is using 4' bolt cutters, they probably are driving around in a van where they have the powertools to slice through any d-lock.

a quality d-lock, in my opinion, is 100% necessary. adding a chain or a quality cable just makes things more difficult since a thief would require two different tools and more time. difficulty and time is the name of the game. nothing is foolproof.

ok.

really? are you sure about that? I've always heard the fahgettaboutit chain is the highest rated...

what frame is that anyways?

I want to get a fahgettaboutit 3" chain and cut it in half to just about over a foot long to reduce the weight/size and use it in conjunction with a d lock when im locking up out-of-sight for longer periods of time. I figure the smaller weight would make it easier to keep in my bag - if my calculations are correct, it would only weigh 3lbs which about what a quality d lock weighs.

Paul Components E-lever

I love your bike.
did you strip and polish the e-lever? I have one and was thinking of doing the same.

yes!

I'm 6'1, so what size frame should I be looking for?
I'm on a giant pug conversion at the mo, its too big, the headtube is as long as my arm.

use this fit calculator for a general idea: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CCY?PAGE=FIT_CALCULATOR_INTRO

permanent marker?

thanks everyone.

does anyone know the seat tube length (C-T perhaps) and the stand-over height of a 21.5"?

Just some new tyres, same old Mercian... I love her so much but I've neglected her lately... Just had her out for a little spin and she feels (as well as looks) lovely... See you bitches for a roll at lunchtime tomorrow! :)

more pictures!

I like the solid color Bob Jackson decals - I wish those were a regular option. I'd rock the orange on white sans the BLB decal and lug lining.

any thoughts on the grand prix 4000S?
