Our main parts distributor just got in a bunch of low-buck 31.8 Kalloy stems like this:
http://images.priceme.co.nz/Images/ProductImages/StRetailer227/KLSMSW807_m.jpg
in various lengths that don't look bad at all.
I'll get a few up on the site soon.
How much is low-buck? I wanna get a 100mm stem so I can play around with my reach and drop
Edit: Would it be under 40?

Size 14??? The V1.5/Odyssey combo will most likely be your best bet.
They are proportional haha, I'm 6'6". I'll check them out. I wanted toe clips but have read in multiple places that they aren't very well made for somebody with battleships for feet.

I spy Dura-Ace track cogs! :love:
ARe you guys going to get any more Calv jackets in?
Scrodzilla
09-24-11, 01:09 PM
Nope! We've got one small grey one left that we just found hiding in a box this morning.
Our new jacket will be available very soon.
About to order some of those Vtracks with the Sylvan pedals. I saw you have the black ones in stock when buying them alone, but with the straps there's only the option for silver.
I want to get the black with the straps but don't want to pay the extra $4 bones. I was wondering if you could enable the option for me.

That was a mistake in the online inventory. It's been fixed.
Dave, this might be totally trivial, but is there an easier way to see what new goodies you're going to be stocking? I find it hard to find because there's only the three newest items on the side bar. Any way to expand that?
BTW I love that you stock those stems, I might have to go and order one!

FSA stuff should be here by early next week. Those OS-190 stems are awesome for the money.
I just expanded it to five but don't really want to go bigger than that on the sidebar. As we're adding more and more stuff to the site, we're working on making some changes to the site that will feature an actual page to view new items, as well as some other changes to make navigation a little easier/better looking.
We're also going to be putting up a revolving used section pretty soon because we've got too much stuff laying around!

Are you going to be sticking with BigCartel or going to a different ecommerce solution?
If you're sticking with BigCartel, I use them for a couple online businesses I run, and Aarfie (http://shop.aarfie.com/category/big-cartel-themes) has some decent themes that do a nice job of showcasing new items or top sellers. Just something to look into perhaps.

To those that have a Calv jacket, how breathable is it? I have yet to use it in rain (it comes next week) but I'm worried it may be too hot. Any experiences with anyone?
Only problem I have with it, is that it kind makes my arms sweat because.. Well, I sweat a lot. lol
But everywhere else is totally fine because it's breathable especially when you unzip the pockets.

I knew as soon as I ordered some FSA compact drops you would put a set of compacts on the site. I do like that those are flat though, might end up returning mine and grab a set.
Loving the added selection of stuff. Adds variety and the site still feels nice and "handpicked."
I can't wait until the used section pops up

Is the round clamp area on the new "Hood Rat" bars wide enough to fit a brake lever?

Selle Italia no longer makes them in white and I don't know of anyone in the US who still has any. 14 Bike Co. has them in stock of you don't mind paying for shipping from the UK:

If you ride in really thin shoes like vans slip ons, they'll be too big. Anything bulkier and they may be okay.

Nope. Certain distributors are proving to be a little difficult to deal with.
Dude, that Black Flag shirt is ****ing boss.

Scrod, when will Retrogression go Fred with panniers, handlebar bags, carradice bags, fenders, and Brooks?
Great prices on the Sugino RD2 and BB, too.
edit - When will you restock 165mm RD2 cranks?
