I've been thinking about getting this crankset and using my Sugino Mighty Competition 144bcd ring. The Miche Primato crankset is now 144bcd. It's so cheap at totalcycling with the tanking GBP.

So what's on everyone's bike wish list?

- A new wheelset, either Mavic Open Pro or Velocity Fusion rims
- Time ATAC pedals and corresponding shoes
- Cycling tights

Though I will probably only get tights.

haha, it looks exactly like his, people always ask me that when i ride around. The wheels were actually brian's and i really liked the omniums after riding his haha. My frame is an alien so that's the big difference and white was the only color i could get.

Anyone have experience with this $15 chaser tech seatpost by the vendor from the same name on eBay? It looks cool and industrial and comes in the weird 27.0 size I need for my new bike. I wonder how the microadjust is, as that's my motivation for a new one.

Are Nags really worth the patience to seek for?

I thought your blue Nag was one of the nicest I've seen. Why an anchor bridgestone?

Just curious, thanks.

Looks like a kalloy post I had on a mountain bike I owned about ten years ago...If that's what it is, it's very lightweight but the whole clamp area was a bit too minimalist for my tastes and it doesn't have any setback to speak of...I still use it as a pry bar down in the shop...

Other than the lack of setback (which is desired for me) does the clamp hold and adjust well? I think it is also sold under the Kalloy brand name.

I think he's talking about the carbon Anchor PHM-9.

Dude, no offense, I mean this in the most humble way possible, but, what is up with the writing on these cranks? Is that an attempt at "pantographing" it looks like a kid got a hold of a soldering gun or something.
Or is it supposed to be "graffiti" style?

andre nickatina
12-20-08, 01:29 PM
It's pretty much scribed in, a la paper-clip style.

From the Traitors I've seen in the shop, I'm a big fan for sure.

wishes: a 54cm lemond poprad disc frameset, some ellipses, and a D700 body. a new job.

realistically—new tires, some small parts to get my front sks P35 mounted on my iro, and to get some swaps on so i don't have to look at all these unused parts anymore and can build the things i need to build. maybe a used D200 if i can sell some of my existing camera stuff.
