Proof, check out their most recent album I.V. Dem bass riffs.

Scrod,
I really dig that you sell products/brands that you use and truly stand behind. That being said, how good is Sugino, really? I've never ridden their gear, but have read a lot of mixed reviews.
Also, do your SRAM brake levers come in pairs? If so, damn good price.

The welds on that State frame are like the ones on the 721, not smooth like the 725.

These welds on the Contender scare me a bit. Not having anyone carry these locally, sucks.
Ever took a good look at one? The specs seem decent for the price.

quick question about looking at stem and the degree for the stem. My leader 725 has a headtube angle of 74*. Would i look for whatever adds up closes to 90* if i want the stem to be parallel to the ground?

got my hands on a used set of 7710 cranks. i have heard of the problems with installation causing slip in the splined interface. well i guess i figured out how i got them at the price i did. is there a great safety risk of using them if there is slight play in the nds crank? any remedies?

Your cog is slipping.

I currently have a 10 degree Thomson (flipped upside down) on my 725 and it's pretty much parallel to the top tube.

Cool I'll probably grab one of those nitto stems to go along with my new nitto handlebars...that is once i can get the money to get rims, headset, and crankset, chain and cog for my new summer build.

what are your opinion on Panasonic bikes from around '88? I have the Dx3000 from that year, and I'm gonna convert it to fixed this summer.
(this isn't my bike, but its the same frame)
