I only choose the smallest frame available because I'm a very short man. 28 years old, standing 5'4" with 28" inseam. I don't really have the option/luxury to move to the next size up. :(

I ride super small frames, usually always the smallest ones offered. This is a 49cm. And honestly, the reason is 90% superficial. I hate sloping top tubes. So I drop the front wheel to a 650c in...

Yeah, it does. I ride 700c rear/650c front on all my bikes. Well, no the road bike, but on all my track/fixed gear bikes.

I honestly knew you'd say that as I was typing my comment out.

Sure, it's a general blanket statement for the entire thread, but you did use the term "immediately" in your comment. And my...

I wouldn't really call it being defensive. More like a love for explaining my way of thinking. Didn't know rebuttals weren't permitted in this thread.

I mean, there's some slack. I can lift it with a finger. But it's not hanging low and looking droopy like a lot of builds I've seen posted in here. Plus, the less slack, the easier track stands are....

Interesting, everything is official from Bianchi. So any non-matching color is coming straight from the factory. Although I obviously added the decals myself on the front rim. But it was a sticker I...

So this is my main squeeze. My daily. My pride & joy (even though there are definitely things I want to change/upgrade). And if everyone hates it...at least I have NO slack in my chain!

That's a bad thing?

I love high flange in the back, and low flange up front. That's why I can never buy pre-built wheel sets.

Logos on rims are a bad thing now? I actually really like how H+Son's logos look.

Also, I'm a big fan of track grips on drops.

I don't run clipless yet, but are they only/best suited for drops or something? Because I plan on throwing some on a bike set risers, and a bike with bullhorns.

This is my beater for **** weather. Only thing I don't like about it is the extra steer tube up top. But I only recently moved my stem below the spacers, it used to sit on top.
