Bike Forums - Hot r Not

Wellllllll, technically I live outside of Chillicothe and I run up to Cbus on weekends to ride with my grandfather, although I haven't been up in a while for riding (mainly just passing through on the way to Cleveland.)

Are you free on the weekends? We should ride together sometime!

Hell yeah! We'll have to get a small group together and head out!

I'm liking the thinner tubes. Very classic look.

It's the frame size (XL).

The M doesn't have that gap (not my bike):

someone needs to fill the noob in...whats so controversial about campy on a Giant?

I'm not one for overtly plastered logos, but this is my favorite PF bike to date. Your selection of the colors on key components really works here, IMO. That frame is also certainly impressive on paper. I'll give a hearty thumbs up in the HOT category! :thumb:

Parts-bin bike. Had the frame set hanging in the garage for a couple of years, and finally decided to toss it together. Rides nice:

Am I the only one here who hates K Wings? I think they're totally fugly. Had 'em, didn't like the feel either- tops were ok, but the drops were terrible.
No offense, njmtbr.

What size is that - a 50? How's she handle in a crosswind?

Nice bike, do it some justice and get some proper tires for it.

Thanks! Definitely a good idea, the ones on there now are basically slicks. Selling my old bike in bits on craigslist now, will put that money towards bar tape and tires.

Sounds like a plan. I wouldn't ride on those tires, they look dry-rot. Either way, Old and dirty gum-wall tries on a brand new machine is just not right.
