By the way has anyone seen the scale model track bikes??? You can customize them with parts and different colors...real interesting stuff if you like scale models. You can also use their flash software and build your own, and they send it to you.

group buy

 

oh no idea

 

hmph, I like my Messengers

 

Maybe not all of us have the luxury of having such nice parts, or maybe its his winter beater

 

im not saying that cause im guilty of what u said as well.

im not knocking em. ive personally owned 4 different sets. my only complaints on them is the improper chainline that cant be adjusted. and how flexy they are.


i guess some people build there bike to look cool as other actually build it for function.

like a "rain bike" with pegs and aero covers

 

guilty as charged =OP

but that havnoonian is g son ! my girlfriends iro hd is almost done were jus waiting on her 650c wheelset to finish getting built.

i got to ride this sweet 650c track bike today!

 

theres no "hype" good parts are popular, bad parts arnt . Dura Ace, 75, Mighty Comp , Campy , and omnium are great cranks cause theyre super stiff , made well, and last .

 

frame i was going to get went WAY to high on ebay...sucks

 

eek

 

were you bidding on that kalavinka?

 

no black bianchi

 

depends on what u consider good. there may not be hype parts but there are "hip" parts =OP

truvativ ominiums are one of the most under rated track cranks imo. stiff and decently cheap. but i know a few months back they didnt sell em seperate and only came with complete bkes. i think i seen black ones as well

 

just got back from the council of doom showing at the local velocult.com bike shop.

pretty cool vid, and kevedge had a nice part in it.

check it out!!

 

 

alien frame

 

Glad to see that not everyone on Honda tech is a homophobic *** hole .

Solbrother , your a [freak]ing idiot

 

yep , got a brand new omnium crankset with the 48t chain ring , and the gxp bb for 200 even . Super easy install , and its a very beefy , stiff crankset . Looks good on the ftp . Might sell my ftp cause I wanna get a steel frame , I might get the affinity , I know theyre not lugged /njs/blah blah ,, but i like they pursuit geometry

 

i rode this havnoonian track frame yesterday. it was sick

 

EP3: (not going to quote it cuz I'm lazy) hmmmmmm, I agree with the f'd up chainline thing, but my line was find after I flipped the ring to the other side of the bolt ring, and IMO they aren't very flexy at all... I think they are a great bargain for the price.

 

quick question for you guys, was on my commute to work, I have 700x23 tires on the bike.

literally 5 minutes into my commute my rear tire went flat, have yet to see what caused it, but how good are 23 wide tires for commuting??? I didn't notice riding over any sharp objects. Only thing I remember was hitting a bump or incosistency in the cement.

For the first 7 minutes on my commute I am on the sidewalk near my neighborhood, after that im on the road. Dont know if that makes a difference.

Any tips to keep that from having a flat? Also stupid me, didnt confirm the pressures, but could that play a part?

 

-tire pressure should be noted on the tire.
-maybe you pinched the tube after you mounted the tires.

I ride on 700x23's in DC all the time...over shitty roads and some lil gaps on the road from time to time.

 

rear tire came mounted already, and the tires were inflated, i knew i should have checked the pressures but was so excited to go out and ride, assumed they were good.

oh well ill fix it and give it another shot.
