I already have one but it's a tad too big... bearable but could fit better. a mix of part. DuraAce, Sugino, IRO. Only thing different from the picture is a Miche supertype seatpost on there. Gotta save to get nice wheels... so if anyone have some nice hubs or wheels they wanna get rid of, pm me.

Witz, do you ride that daily? It's purdy! But the front wheel/tire looks high maintainance.

Don't ride it everyday (though I should), the front wheel had to be trued once (its handbuilt). I ride pretty mellow, so a radial is fine.

njs requirement (required for pro keirin racing in japan)

seasponge 10-25-05 07:04 PM

oh weird, i thought a lot of people shy away from doing 4x on 36 hole. a lot of people recommend 3x on 36 hole

yeah, 3x is much more common, and it makes replacing spokes easier.

maybe some of the more keirin-savvy members could answer that?

Ceya 10-25-05 09:21 PM

stronger wheel.. less flex.

reminds me of the old 40 hole hubs I had before from Campy.. STRONG MFs !

3 x are stong.

CEYA!

ok!

seasponge 10-25-05 09:27 PM

how is 3x any lighter than 4x, you are still using 36 spokes.

Ceya 10-25-05 09:39 PM

ok i messed up. i will correct it.

S/F,
CEYA!

The spokes are longer on a four cross wheel build.

Ceya 10-25-05 09:52 PM

CEYA! :D

A friend of mine's sister is named Keiran.
It's a male Irish name, but close enough and pronounced the same.
Also, she is very attractive so I definitely have a Keiran fixation.
