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

Yes that would be nice, but I'd have to sacrifice some of the advantage of bb386evo bottom bracket, by putting in the 24m BB adapters for hollow tech.
With the K-Force light cranks I get the advantage, if any of the 30mm spindle diameter and wide 86mm bb.

I'm sure I've spotted this frame on previous pages. I really enjoy mine, just pulled a pair of A23s off for some silver!

Thanks but it was supposed to be last weekend and was cancelled due to severe weather. We're having a "make-up" ride this coming Saturday, but only 10 and 30 mile routes are available, so I'm doing the 30. But forecast is saying rain for that day as well.

It's already posted in the Clyde forum, but, might as well put it here to:



Custom frame with a 290mm high bottom bracket. 200mm Andel cranks from Zinn. Handbuilt wheels by myself on 6700 hubs. 7900 Shifters, 6600 derailuers and brakes. Yokozuna cabling. Just about everything your average overgrown giant could want.

Alligator i-links up close. Once I get back from vacation, I'm going to swap out the 3T Rotundo for the 3T Tornova.
