Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Glad I am not the only one. Thought maybe some1 just installed them backwards? Maybe that's why I got such a good deal?

Uh, I think your fork is on backwards.

Based on the angle of the fork stanchions, I'm inclined to say it was meant to go that way...but why? Seems as if someone forgot that disc brakes go on the non drive side.

No, it appears to be the correct geometry, I just don't get it. Is it a custom frame?

hahaha it was really on backwards? got a good laugh out of that...although to be fair, it definitely isn't as obvious with that fork as with most. good thing DRietz caught that, i guess.

cool setup though.

i dunno...i've never seen the brake mounted on the front of the fork like that, though. usually it's on the back.

God the 41 is so out of it. Obviously it's on the right way. It's custom.

Why the hell would you think it was supposed to have a negative rake anyway? Most bikes don't.

This deserves a "No S**T Sherblock"

unless of course you were trolling too, then we have 4 people trolling in a row.

My 2010 CR1 Pro. The handlebar angle is up a little but not nearly as bad as the pictures make it look.



Custom matte black "Cosmic" logos on the wheels...

^ This is a great looking bike. Something about the colors... it just flows well AND looks agressive at the same time. I think its because all the other logos are muted that the frame is really set off. Well done.
