Easily. I'll even let you have my rockshox Jett.

re:Charlie Ride: I'm also away a whole bunch this month including this coming Saturday/Sunday. Keith will also be away this weekend as we're heading up to Buckwallow for an O-Cup XC race. I'm away Aug 17-25 in California as well.

hahahahaha gwad can you imagine... what a lark that would be. oh if only to have the bucks for such tomfoolery.

what about a $1250 pista concept?

people love their tarck bikes. *coming from a kid with a bright pink frame*

That frame ain't worth 1200. No way in hell.

Went to Ziggy's today - checked out some cross bikes - fell in love with the Rocky Mountain CXR. Still not convinced that its a better value than a Kona JTS, and I'm leery of the WH-R550 wheels on it; low-spoke wheels + cyclocross == fail.

RE: Charlie - I'm with stuart: want to participate, but unsure if its appropo...

On that note, if anyone comes acros an old/rigid Rocky Mountain frameset (17/18") lemmie know, would ya? I'm still on the hunt.

I can't speak for everybody, but I'm sure it would be fine if people that didn't directly know Charlie come out for the ride.

Yar, I'm sure Charlie would love to make a few new friends

I talked with Benway and we are going to set the ride up for the end of the month. We are going to get flyers going this week and go from there. I know it is a little late but some of the people that really should be there are tied up this month ect. I'll have a little more sorted this eve.

If any of you guys came across a guy on a new orange masi that couldn't get his feet into toe clips this afternoon at about 5:30, nice meeting you

I just put a Wald 157 on my Urbanite. Good times. Pictures later.

Tempted to put CX tires back on my Planet-X and go for a rip in the rain/slop later.

and with risers, no less! no cred for you, man.

ha ha...yo twitcho that was me...nice bike...nice to meet u.

that basket, my friend, is dopetacular.

nice, do you use a hollow front axle (with a QR?) or did you have to switch to a solid axle with hex nuts for mounting the legs?

I'm waiting on a CETMA rack I ordered a week ago, I'm thinking a heavily loaded rack might bend the thin QR skewer...?

word ta muth...thats just the way charlie rolled...

word ta muth...thats just the way charlie rolled...

PBUH

Just using a QR, so far.

I have one of those, but the bolts wont fit around my GT's handlebars
I'll have to pick up some longer bolts. have you tried it out? it seems like it holds ALOT.

thats not by choice.
I only had a 31.8 stem and risers, or no stem and drops (not so comfy on a pursuit frame.)
this was a parts bin special build.

I much prefer my bullhorns.

I'm in for this at the moment...

My capo has a ridiculously stupid sticker under clearcoat with 3000000 words on it on the DOWNTUBE

my life isover

What you need is a new bick

nah, im just kidding. i think that bike looks wicked + its comfortable as hell. im from the "its just a bike" school of thought rather than one of those folks who flips out at every tarck bike on the road. as long as someone is riding + enjoying it, it is awesome.

Just put something else (tape.. a sticker..) over it like Rennick did for his IRO. Obviously it's a lot easier to match black to black than red to red, but I'm sure you'll figure something out. There are some annoying decals under the clearcoat of my Bianchi, too.

ps. wow, it's POURING. I think it's time to take my 'well loved' Hutchinson Pirhana off the back of my MTB and go back to something knobbier if I want to ride in the Don this week.

That's kind of weird, the Cannondale 2008 pics on their site have nary a sign of downtube stickers etc...

Just get a roll of red fun-fur and wrape that downtube. It'll help avoid speed-traps as it will absorb the radar beams.
