i'm setting up my 596 for the street. doing it up with an aerospoke front and a velocity/formula rear. wasn't sure what cranks to run, but i thought i'd spend a little more and went for pake since they come in colors and cost more than the eighth inch ones so they must be better. saw the shimano un-54 bb was a popular choice so i'm getting that installed by the shop.
I wanted to run a pearl9 stem with nitto blue risers, but the bike can't be made threaded i found out. think i'll run the stem i had from my kilo tt, and i like the soma late risers, gonna match colors to my cranks. saddle is gonna be a cool vintage rolls i got, and i'm gonna run GR-9's with mks clips and pake straps.
is this a good set up for the street? also, what color ouries should i get?

Not! Waaaaaaaay too obvious. A good troll needs to be more subtle, so a lot of readers are initially suckered in and get all worked up over it. The thread must degenerate into rude name-calling and obscenities. This attempt at trolling totally fails.

Here it is. The LOOK 464:
https://reviews.roadbikereview.com/bl...et-first-look/
$900 frame and fork
$1,900 complete
Not a bad option.

damn Carleton, you had to delete ALL of it? S'all good though. 
Tejano, to recap:
I called you a crotchety old bastard, but then said we should hug it out, ending with a word rhyming with hitch.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2]

sorry again carleton. A little to crude in my illustration of a troll. Anyways, I guess the LOOK frame was built primarily for track. But if you guys wanna use it on the road, all for it! Id love to be able to see one of those in real life though. THat would be awesome./
