Is it a redband? How do you like it? My lust for a nexus 8 redband hub is tempered by my experience as a Nuvinci early adopter. Not that I think the Nuvinci sucks, but it is a niche product. Nexus 8 hub has a broader application potential.

It's not the redband. I like it a lot though. I don't even have a derailleur bike right now, just that one and a single-speed. The only drawback is the shifter, which is really only made to work on a straight bar, but there are other shifter options available. It shifts quickly and smoothly and has a good range. I feel like I need to change my front chain ring though,to a little bit larger size, because I find myself shifting back and forth between certain gears often.

pretty easy to set up though, and maintenance free. I never cared for derailleurs anyway. friction makes me anxious.

It's an old school thing... it's been a few weeks since I took this old girl on the commute.

They are the stock Ritchey SpeedMax Cross 700x32 tires. I have only been commuting for about a month and a half now. I was scared that I would buy the bike and end up being one of those people who end up selling it because they never rode it. After a month and a half I can say that buying this bike is one of the best things I have done. Sorry, I'm not of much help. Your other thread is very helpful for me because I want to swap out the tires aswell once the stock ones get more worn.

65er, that is hotness :D

That WD-40 does wonders :rolleyes:

An old man needs to keep a few toys in the garage... :)

I commute on every bike I own and usually ride something different on Friday's... quite a few of my bikes are over 50 years old so I don't want to subject them to the daily beating but none of them get to be garage queens either.

My main summer commuter is a 46 year old Peugeot with a fixed gear conversion.

I love this frame. It's like art.

1983 Schwinn LeTour Luxe I picked up from the original owner for 25 USD. New tubes, tires, tape, clips, straps, and lights. This is one of the smoothest and sturdiest bikes I've ever ridden.

She may look like a piece of junk but she's got it where it counts, kid. She'll make point five beyond the speed of light. I've added some special modifications myself. And I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers, mind you, but the big Corellian ships. It's the bike that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. She's fast enough for you, old man.

That thing is cool as hell! Unfortunately I don't think I could ever fit on a folder. I'm 6'5" and my two main rides have 68cm frames. Very nice though!

nice shots and they keep getting more interesting, thats good news thanks for sharing.

:thumb::thumb::D

Well, it does have rack mounts, so obviously Specialized figured someone would want to attach one. Good looking bike.

Being able to blow through potholes, and pretty much anything else has it's pluses.

I tested a Specialized Chicago Langster (Gangster) but wasn't really diggin' the bullhorn bars. I loved the New York Langster, but the shop didn't have one
in my size and after riding the Chicago...figured it would feel the same. The ride was VERY harsh.

Then tested a 2007 Bianchi M.U.S.S. single speed and liked it, but on a whim, tested the Milano Citta and knew immediately it was the right bike for me.
It came with front/rear fenders and a rear rack, but I removed those when I got home. Love the twist shift for the 8 gears.
Shifts were quick, smooth, and quiet. No lag between gears at all. A twist of the wrist immediately changed gears.

The little woman didn't really like the color, but I had to explain to her that a Bianchi just isn't a Bianchi unless it's celeste.
She had to get a brief history lesson.

The folks at Daniel Boone Cycles in Houston were REALLY great and were patient with me as I test rode the bikes several times.
I'd hop off one and get right on another. I did this several times and kept going back to the Milano.

you might need to break off a couple of links, looks like your chain is real loose.

I thought that too.
