God you're ****ing planning on using 7400 pedalsthere aren't many greater example of form over function(except maybe for a track sprinter) currently available to stick on your bike. Are you suffering with cleats on the road or are are you the sneaker on good looking pedal type?
Maybe you'll end up racing but I doubt it, if you really want to and don't want to break the bank get over your late 80s early 90s fetish and ditch the 7400 and the system six frame and use the grand to find a good deal on a al/cf road frame and some intro track bike.
I haven't been making threads about how I didn't like how the System-Six looked, wtf are you talking about? It's just too much bike for what I want to accomplish with it. The System-Six looks great as far as I'm concerned.
Just because I like one look over another doesn't mean I hate the one I don't like.
I'm using the pedals because they come with the 7400 set; just wanted it to be complete, that's all. And I DO care about function; does that forbid me from using parts I find aesthetically pleasing? Need I remind you they're DA parts? Some of the best parts ever made in that era!
I bought the System-Six with the intention of road-racing. I no longer have road-racing ambitions, therefore the high-performance road-bike seems out of place, wouldn't you agree?
Did it ever, at ANY time, to NOT reply to this thread? That maybe it was a waste of time to criticize someone over the internet about their quirks and weird habits?
Dutret, this whole damn website is sick of your crap. Just keep your goddamn mouth shut if you don't have anything constructive to say.
