it says sram force on them

because it comes in through an eyelet hole that sits under the tubular/tape

Most tracks won't allow a quick release, but you can just use a security or allen bolt skewer if you go....
yeah hub is irrelevant, qr skewer is not allowed on any velodrome afaik.

if you cant bring yourself to it I can swing by and chop that steerer
3 mins workIts only ever an issue when taking photos of the bike, but I appreciate it :P
Yeah if all that was on another frame that would be delicious (I'm sure in practice the frame performs exactly as you want it to). The wheels are fucking peng.
Its allright, clear 12k carbon is the last thing i'd pick from a list but it works amazingly well over my old steel road frame.
Are they the cosmic ultimates? Dibs if you ever sell!
No just slr's wich already is ridiculous enough on a 200 dorra frame ;) -
Pretty cool with the chinarello project now. It begun as a complete experiment and ended up taking all my attention. Even saturday track sessions had to go in favour of kicking this around. Eyeing some athena 11 speed and modern brakes but apart from that its more or less done.
oh yeah and the ugly stem needs something done to it.

white campy brakes wtf where

Alan Sikric makes a mean frame

Google Campus is not a nice place.
There are some great people in there actually doing stuff, mostly on the TechHub floor.
But mostly what I've seen whenever I've been there are non-technical people walking around saying "I've got an idea for ... and just need a technical co-founder, can we do coffee or revert later?"... where the killer idea is "I want to play squash and my squash buddy is out of town and so I think if we made an iPhone app that allowed you to push a button, it would pair up people who want to play squash. And it will make millions, are you in?".
That is... Google Campus is heated by the hot air of a lot of it's inhabitants (TechHub floor excepted), and if you want to go into an environment in which you are constantly distracted, then it's a winner.
I really want to get stuff done, so I stay away from it unless I have to. Preferring instead to have the office in Waterloo as few people visit us and we can get on with stuff.
never been there but this is exactly why I never go to talks and why I generally loathe the whole startup "scene". Loathe briefs from google for the same reason.

for fuck sake

I rode them briefly, the eyelets wears easily but they look allright for sure
-
does anyone know how to tell the make year from the current campagnolo serialnumber system ?
-
this forum needs some serious designwork
-
how do i rep shit. i cant see any rep button
-
Did anyone here cop that corima ? I put in loads of squids but it went for even more over night since I had to go to bed :(

Repost...
why do you run a radial 20 spoke in the front of a sscx rig? Or did someone just repurpose a streetbike rim and put a 25c tire on ?
-
google has a campus similar to what you describe above in london since a while back.

It's astonishing how sellers can be unaware of even extreme structural damage.
owner gaston'ed that seatpost to match the gaston'ed forks

Aye, if you thought the 7900 crank was a bit of a munter, the 7900 SRM is just something else.
I think the da group underlines why so much of bike design is still in the late 90's early 00's. Just like many colnago's looks like someone took one of your grandma's porcelain animals and airbrushed tribals on them, dura ace looks like cheap plastic covers from some old scooter you rode as a kid. /hate
:P

Or change your crank length, or saddle, or pedals, or shoes...
It's not really how often you tighten it, it's over-tightening it once that'll strip it. Grease + torque wrench = worth it. You shouldn't need much torque anyway, unless the frame/binder lug is a bit vague/shoddy.
yet its the one bolt that gets seized isnt it :D We've all had one
-
A purple vitus was on this forum a while back. Built for the Latvian track team if i'm not mistaken. Same one?
-
To be honest its not an expensive frame and I wouldn't go through that much just to get it up and running. I see a few road frames a month on ebay in different colors and someone was trying to shift a low pro track version on here a couple of months back with little luck. I stripped the old decal off the top tube and put these current ones I found on ebay on.

Can you imagine dropping this much money on a bike and ending up with this?
I'd rather shove wasps up my asshole.
saved money on the frame though didn't he :P Nice colorway despite all the other shit. And I can totally sympathise with being too short for the S frames having to go with that ant stem but damn does it fuck the whole look up. Any random build will look good when the proportions are perfect like That firefly from porn
But that rear arya looks amazing, id love a pair of them in 16/16

Bonding vitus tubes is quite a feat since they are essentially 0.5 or 1.0mm Ø wider than the joints :) I assume there is a series of heating/cooling steps to go through to get all this done. Here's two pre morning coffee snaps of mine.
Looks like the downtube is slid in the joint while the top tube is going over. Cable wells shouldnt big a big thing to file out and fill if you are respraying anyway.
