I feel your pain. Scratches and chips in the frame's paint, show character but a dent in a wheel...yeah that sucks.

At least I can't feel it while riding, but that may not be true if I put on my 28mm tires. disk brakes ftw

Today I realized the fools on massdrop will buy anything. Did I mention ANYTHING for an outrageously inflated price?
How's $50+ for a set of 4 super light duty silicone spatulas that come in sweet fixie colors? Worse is there's nearly 20 people committing to it with it being posted for under 5 hours.

Fools and their money parted.

Today I got in an even dozen miles before work on my beater Gitane fixed-gear, working in some bonus hill climbs and smiling at everyone I met, because it felt really good to be out early and turning 45x17 and feeling metric gauge Reynolds 531 do its thing under me. And the people I encountered were all decent at least and smiled back at best, which is pretty good for 6:whatever in the morning.

LesterOfPuppets 07-09-14 11:17 AM

I love that old cannondale banana yellow. Makes me hungry for some 'nana pudding!

SquidPuppet 07-09-14 11:31 AM

71cms and the saddle is still jacked up high. http://forum.blu-ray.com/images/smil...indblowing.gif Gotta be an NBA bike.

hairnet 07-09-14 12:15 PM

I found the padded Unicanitor comfortable when I was twenty-something. Now, at 59, I prefer a Brooks Professional.

Set a PR on the local 13k TT, 21min 17sec with a 23.4mph avs on 46/15(fixed).

bro 07-10-14 02:25 AM

zomg, love this seat. the plastic is thin and very flexible, almost like a hard rubber. the padding is like a dense foam rubber, and leather is very nice. john thom, never had a real brooks. had a fake swallow and it was comfy enough but having to retension it bothered me as the saddle got very long and strange looking. i wanna try the brooks select models, with the extra thick non-dyed leather. those look promising. i intend on gripping a brooks and a vintage ideal though at some point. but i know this cinelli boi lighter weight doe. also nice zeus pista avatar. over all, for $35 shipped im very happy with my purchase, love it. gonna get more of these 2 stock up

Cannondale to launch CAAD10 track bike? | road.cc

Leukybear 07-10-14 11:41 AM

I wonder if they're going to sell frameset only...
Looking at the components I have a good feeling it's going to be over $1500 with a dealer's take

Would've been extra nice if it was bb30 w/ track hollowgrams haha

THE perfect 700c all-around ratio if you ask me. Climb-able, fast on the flats, and I don't rev-out until about 30mph.

JamesCraps 07-11-14 10:24 AM

I haven't been active here in a while, came back for some info. Got great help as usual.
Anywayyy so the past few months I've been doing renovations in apartments, cause I hate the butcher shop. My friends buying a 2009 madison and we're gonna strip it to the chrome on sunday :D probably will post pics

Huffandstuff 07-11-14 11:30 AM

Heading up to Seattle today to do the stp, gonna be riding it fixed and do it in two days. I haven't done any real mileage outside of track racing/commuting/alleycats so this might hurt.

If anyone else is riding it, I'll be stopping at Centralia for the beer garden.
