Actually, these were given to me by one of the shop guys while my Quattros are out for warranty replacement. It's been a while, though, so maybe I should contact CB myself and see what's up.

What's funny is that the Eggbeaters also seem more stable with the three-hole Quattro cleats than they are with the plain cleat & MTB shoes I usually wear.

Double-sided & four-sided CB pedals & commuting FTW.

I guess you are talking about my Cinelli Spinaci bars. They are old now as they were banned by the UCI about 1997 as they believed they posed a threat to safe braking. The trouble is many riders used their exposed shimano cables in a similar fashion.

A 48cm Six13 weighs almost 18 with Ultegra? How heavy are the wheels?

Here is my bike. Trying to learn to post a picture.

i think they're around 1700g. a bit heavy compared to others, but i'm willing to make sacrifices here and there for a bomb-proof, hand built, easy to maintain and service when it needs it wheelset. i might have weighed it with the seat bag last time also, but it's definitely not the lightest bike in the world. the three most important things about it are that it's fun, it's comfy, and it works.

if i wanted to, i could save a little weight with an ultegra 10 or dura ace 10 rear derailleur (i'll eventually get around to this, my new 'cross build is taking up most of my time and money at the moment), and the handlebar is also a bit on the heavy side (but i like the geometry of it). the stem is a cannondale fire model, which has got to be one of the lightest i've felt. not very stiff, but definitely pretty light. i'd go for something stiffer, like a thomson, but i only weigh about 140lbs, and i'm not much of a sprinter. i could probably lose some weight in the fork, but that's an expense that i just can't justify, since my current fork gets the job done just fine.

the same build with reynolds attacks was about 17.3 and i'm really not noticing much of a difference in how the bike rides without them. i'm feeling much more confident on descents with the kings, they corner so precise it's ridiculous. but on flats and climbs the two wheels feel very similar.

the shifters are friction, fyi.

just got my first road bike a few weeks ago, its a too big for me 1995 Cannondale R 700. it has all shimano 105/600 parts and is now for sale. i figured id get a smaller frame and transfer everything over but then i found one that fits me great! the second one is an Alan carbon/aluminum frame with all Campagnolo parts and is a fun ride. i haven't found much about Alan bicycles but i knew it was a good buy when i saw the components.

I'm all for a confident, self-assured Scat, but I'm really not feeling that thing.

s-words

A Specialized Roubaix, right? How did you get the paint/decals off?

cc700

haha... any particular reason? or is it just ugly?

ninjaman

Ugly!

ninjaman

And your coverup paint is a completely different shade than the frame.

cc700

no crap! you think i'm going to get the paint matched? i'm broke! haha.

icyclist 

The Roubaix graphics can be very understated - i.e., the bike calls attention to itself by not calling attention to itself. I've watched more cyclists than I care to recall pedal into other riders, lamp posts, run through red lights, etc., while they attempt to decipher the minimalist decals on a Roubaix.

ninjaman

Then why bother trying to cover "tante" up at all? It would look much better as a Scattante than as a Scat.

cc700

it's not italian so i don't see the point of giving it an italian-sounding name, that's all.

plus....
it's funny.

but i see what you mean about 'why bother'ing. i have paints lying around, and now it looks more unique.

According to Performance it means "swift like the wind" or something. Anyway, I guess if you were going for unique you got unique.

Haha what? Scattante means "Releasing".. which is really weird if you ask me. Either way, the Scat is hideous, but whatever.
