well i c what u guys are saying to where he wants me to spend more money. but heres the thing. he just lost his we the people holder and i think federal. 2 holders of some kind. so he has a ton of stuff marked alomost 20-50% off because he has to get rid of it. well lets say he can beat dans comp on anything.
so i think im still ganna stick with the bel air to be safe, but im going into his shop today. if i can get a new complete buy scratch for less would it be safe. its a lot of wethe people stuff, federal. and other componets arent too much of a difference.
im just trying to make a good purchase

dammit i just lost my last post
now i ave to rewrite it so its ganna be short
and i agree with what u mean on the frame and how hes trying to get me to buy more stuff. im probly going with the 07 bel air anyways


so he lost 2 of his holders of i think federal and somebody else. he needs to get rid of it quick, so basically its all 20-50% off
he can beat any product on dans comp by a chunk of money, and soo i dont see how i cant build a better bike for less money with all that coming into play

im just trying to make the best purchase possible

You wrote the same thing a few times. Just go with the Bel-Air and pick up on your grammar studies.

Do whatever you want. You're the one who's going to be riding the bike, not us. Get what makes you happy, but keep in mind that when people recommend a product, there's usually a reason for that, and if there's one product that everyone recommends, there's usually a big reason for that.

For instance, Odyssey Jim C. pedals.

Nice. I don't know about the wave thing on the tubes of that new Sunday frame though. Looks pretty ugly in pictures, but if it really does make it stronger I guess it's fine.

Well, if you're going to go for heavy, you might as well have it be heavy.

Mine has given me nothing but trouble. Stick with Primo or Profile. Odyssey is ok too.
