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

ah.. I think hot (but, I'm 6'4"), I think there is a bias against bigger frames, especially carbon ones... the smaller (56ish) ones seem to be the consensus ideal.

Viva the giants!

WR- Your Fuji is extremely hot. Nice attention to detail. I especially like the EC90 crank with Rotor? chain rings. How does it ride? Is the SST 3.0 the same frame as the 2.0 and 1.0?

Pretty sure he said that was not his bike. You should ask The bike owner. RacerEx I think.

Something different is right. Very nice KD. And welcome to BF. I always liked the classic look. It is not ALWAYS well received in the hot or not thread but we will see. Either way, Nice bike KD. I hope you are enjoying it.

Hot, but it looks like it would be twitchy with such a steep fork angle.






Here's my new one.

Hot without a dount. Though, removing 2/3 decals per wheel might make it look a bit cleaner.

If he's Sponsored, that might not be the best suggestion. Or is that kind of thing OK? Tampering with sponsored items.

A Bob Jackson with cheap components? What's the world coming to? That bike deserves at least Ultegra.

Depends on head tube angle, really. My bike has a 74º head tube angle, so my fork only has a 30mm rake, and it handles nicely. Any more than that and it would be twitchy as hell. Less rake (steeper fork) means more trail, which means slower and more stable handling. Ever notice how those old school motorpacers have backwards forks? Those guys are going very fast, so they need all the stability they can get.

Yes, but at least my asking price is reasonable, right? Don't believe - go take a closer look on Ebay!
