for real that thing should be using a track for its fastness.

Yeap, there sure is. Which is why the Pake is the commuter.

My beater for riding and locking up once the semester starts. I actually really love riding this thing. Its so smooth and solid. Pretty much indestructible.

cc700 08-23-08 09:52 PM

Very very nice. That Capo looks fast. I wish I could push that big a gear.

85.8 gear inches is not too bad once you get going on the track...I really need to learn how to spin more efficiently with a smaller gear ratio.

It's from performance...forte' brand. Sanded down through the clear coat and removed the logos then applied a fresh clear coat over the bare carbon.

Teevoe, definitely rides the track. The first time i saw Teevoe, Thyna (Hope you dont mind bro), race at the track was on Wednesday at Hellyer and he ended up taking first in a few of his races in his class. Thyna's a very strong rider and an all around stand up guy.

Silsteve- They're just some cheap risers I found at a local bike shop and cut down.

I definitely don't make that, though it would be nice. My priorities are just different.

ps those hed wheels deserve a better frame!
