Nope, this bike has been in the back of my que for a long time and due to some unfortunate issues with it. I decided it would make an excellent test bed for a lot of techniques I've wanted to try.

Your workshop makes me jealous -or maybe not.

Is that seatpost stuck in the frame or something?

Or something, and that's just where I do quick and dirty projects.

If you mention Rivendell or Peterson in your thread title, you know your thread will never die.

That's not a cheater's Rivendell. A Rivendell is a cheater's C&V.

No doubt.. all this GP talk lately got me looking on Riven.. and there was a bike for 2k that looked remarkably like the frame on my mb-3.. so C&V only has itself to blame for this

This thread makes me confused. Not as confused as the time my mother sent me a link to the "two girls one cup" video, but close.
