i always wonder, how much less weight is it a double vs single butted tube of the same material? does it realy worth it, or the craftmanship could be a bigger part of it?

haha I have that fender too but I didn't realize it was going to be icy today. When I left the house it wasn't snowing (the streets were perfectly dry) and I was thinking only flurries for today
Today's the 1st time, in a month I think, that the snow has finally stuck

So I gotta question: is the cellphone attached to the bb in some weird way, or is it attached to the brick (say, so you don't loose the phone... or the brick) or did you find yourself out there with a bike, a camera, and a brick to hold the bike up, and discovered that the brick was not quite tall enough...the cellphone was the best you could come up with to give you the extra inch of height you needed?

brand new 2005 fuji track pro
brand new sugino 75 bb
sugino 75 cranks + sugino 75 ring + eai 17t cog
36h da 7600 to non machined deep Vs + gatorskins
carbon post -> waiting on another one

random stem -> waiting on deda netwon
b201 risers -> waiting on another one
hkk chain
new mks aluminum chain tensioners
gr9 pedals + small MKS clips + kashimax straps (waiting on straps)

Get a new fork for the Pake. They are crap. I changed mine out to a CF fork that I picked up and I love it so much more.
