whats wrong with miche hubs?

Does anyone else do this with theirs?

...And yes, a scaffold tubed Raligh plus a Krypto Fah makes a very heavy bike!

brilliant!

onguard only provides 10 different key combos. so one would have a 10% chance of their onguard key working in someone else's onguard lock.

no thank you.

that blue bob jackson is an ugly build, in my opinion.

I would not ride that stem.

I'd avoid RDs, personally. 45mm.
Get Andels or Sugino XDs, instead.

lol ^

But yeah, any guesses to what colour that might be? I'm thinking either that blue/silver colour scheme, or Ivory with red decals and lug lining, what do you think?

looks metallic to me. I'd say "blue odd 3" or "blue s" or "cobalt"

just comment on flickr and ask the owner...

Does anyone know what size of the Vigorelli has a 21" top tube length?

21"

what headset is that?

RD's should just be avoided...

We use Mavic open pros, open sports and IRD Cadence and Cadence Aero rims.

Mavic rims, nice and affordable, great reputation and reliable.

The IRD rims you pay a bit more for, however, they are stiffer and lighter. I have Cadence on my road bike and for climbing in Mallorca, excellent, light, nippy, a joy to ride.

We use RoadAce Components to build our wheels, Steve is the guy who is the builder.

I am considering a IRD Cadence Road to a low-flange hub build. 28 2x or 3x front / 32 3x rear. Would you say the low-flange would be a bad idea with these rims? would they lack stiffness and strength?

I use an insole. I heated them up in the oven and then pressed my feet to mold them.

They've stopped my toes from going numb with my clipless shoes.

can someone post a picture of their excellights? there's a total lack of images of these built up...

just changed the seat to a regal and put a sugino 75 chainring on, not sure on the chainring though but it may grow on me....

what tyres are those?

yeah, I think I'm going with what sheldon recommended: 2x 28h f & 3x 32 or 36h rear. I am looking to build up a lightweight but durable wheelset (and with a classic aesthetic: low-flange/box section rim) and I am of average weight and am not into tricks. would a box-section rim be enough for this build? or should I go with something deeper? So far, I am thinking 1.1s or ambrosio excellights or open pros.

thanks.
but for clarification, 28h low flange: 2x or 3x?

besides radial, what lacing options are there for 28h?

I wouldnt want those bars...
and maybe put the bottle bolts back in before moisture sets in.

scratches and chips give the frame character.

cnc'd or forged?

why buy a more expensive piece of kit, which you have to rebuild on a regular basis, when you can have one which you don't have to worry about probably for the duration of the time you'll own/ride the bike...

I prefer rebuildable components because of their durability and long life. I much prefer that to a disposable component. And my experience is a sealed/cartridge bottom bracket (at least for me) lasts about a year or two before it spins slow and clicks. Three purchases of these disposables = one rebuildable. And like I said before, I enjoy the seasonal maintenance. 3 hours per year isnt that much of a chore.

especially those;

oh
I like those.

depends on how much your & what weather conditions your riding takes place in.

overhauling a bb is easy.

in my experience, I'd do it before winter started. after winter ended. and once again in the summer. perhaps it was overkill, but it only takes, what, 20 mins..?

never seen that colour
but it looks pretty. go with it.
