Anyone checking out craigslist recently?

The Miele for $200 has been getting quite a response, the owner is basically gonna let it go into a bidding war starting sunday morning. nice bike, but seriously, is demand in toronto THAT high for vintage steel?

Re, ALEX DA28's I would totally go for them.. Cavernmech hooked me up last year with a pair of ALEX Crostini's 1.2/1.3 rims and they are very similar wheels. With my zero skills riding fixed, I have hit serious pot holes like the one south of bloor on mt pleasant under that bridge. its basically destroyed pavement that will rattle ur frame, and the rims are still perfectly straight. I probably clocked 1000kms on them so far and they are good.

I have been reading contridicting info on Aero rims and Box Section rims saying that box rims are stronger, but i think aero rims hold their shape better..... looking at the rim cross-section, doesn't a triangle seem stronger than a square?

amull, thanks for the offer, but i think pyze is gonna come thru on this one, thanks much!
