the brake is silver and the chain is silver... go and slow. it works.

i only hope my $150 frame is as cohesively blacked out ninja'd as yours.

n_w_a_31 08-30-07 09:50 PM

^^^ Thanks. Me too. I cant wait to get my white leather Rolls saddle and a different stem. That one was $5 at a lbs so its serving its purpose, i guess.

I am still waiting on my wheels to show up. They are 3 days over due. UPS sucks!

lvleph 08-31-07 11:20 AM

Well, I just called UPS and they told me that the wheels are lost and they have to find them. Great!

I had the best day, probably ever, riding this. Everything about it is awesome. Seat feels perfect, bars feel perfect (but I'm going to get some risers or bullhorns for the street) the crank/bb is amazing, the wheels are great. its a huge step up from my previous fg's. the gearing is great everywhere except the 11% hill to get to my house, its pretty hard there.

Other than the ****ty stem and the silver campy caliper, im pretty satisfied.

I've grown to really love the black and gold theme. Those gold deep V's look really cool.

That hurts my eyes.

bward1028 09-05-07 08:04 PM

i can tell why, after looking at yours.

Nikephoros 09-06-07 04:42 AM

I don't have a degree in design or anything, but I do think there are some objective aesthetic qualities in terms of color that are hardwired into our brain. That said, to each his own.

bward1028 09-06-07 05:35 AM

yah, i'm just saying, our 2 are at pretty much opposite ends of the color spectrum.

Southernwayfare 09-06-07 07:53 PM

Can someone tell me what exactly is the frame of the IRO group buy? Modified Angus? BTW what does BFSSFG stand for?

hazylines 09-06-07 08:05 PM

The IRO group buy frame is a ba$tar_d child of an angry Angus and Mark V that was so fast it couldn't keep its paint.


[edit: why is ba$tar_D blocked? I was not using it as a vulgarity. How else does one sucinctly describe an illegitimate child?]
