I stand corrected. My balls did indeed fall off, but it took more like a week. I remember now why I got rid of this on my Pista in the first place. If I am not wearing my best bike shorts man does this hurt--esp when trying to carry a bad full of crap and and form work

I've been riding around on a borrowed set of old school rigida/exceltoo wheels and loving mine. Just waiting for my real wheels to arrive.

Anyone else get an insane saddle-bar drop? (this is good, it's gonna be used for TTs and track)

the valve extenders i have don't work i have to return em. in the meantime i can still get air in there, there's just enough thread to fit the presta adaptor on so it's all good.
