To me, swapping out the silver crank and brakes to something black/dark silver would make that even hotter. But still a hot looking ride.

thx for stealing my thunder *******....


jk nice bike.

hot fosho.

Tmonk, that Soul has so many great parts choices, I'll say hot. The gloss 3t fork and Thomson parts look a little off on the matte frame but the Hollogram cranks and Traditional drop bars make up for the sins I think.

Guru gets a NOT from me. Weird looking frame and the crank clashes badly with the rest of the bike.

Blue rocks!!!!!

thx.

as for the saddle/bar drop it's not as much as it looks like; the sloping top tube compact frame design plays with your eyes a little bit. It actually has the same saddle to bar drop as the black Soul and less than the yellow KHS fixed gear.

no the khs isn't held together with the bar tape. the thing is beat up to hell but it has plenty of life left and usually gets ridden once/week to work (38 mi) at a nice high tempo pace.

also if that cat was indeed purchased at trader joes than i would return it when my gf wasn't looking

Those look line Neuvation wheels. Clinchers or tubulars? how do you like them? I've been riding my Neuvation R28 wheels for a few wheels and they have been great.

Yes. Small decal C50 tubies. Front needed some truing after a few hudred miles other than that light and smooth.

no.

its a massive dent.

the frame is aligned, and it's obviously steel so the mechanical integrity is not comprised.

it's been that way for about four years.

Nope. The cat was looking for the cans of "Trader Joe's Tuna for Cats".

Something about that Guru. I think it's pretty hawt! Everything works for me. Never seen Neuvations look so good.

Rob13 04-13-12 03:39 PM


Bike is Hot! Something about the crank color though, not blending with the bike. Sram Red Black on that would look amazing!
