DoshKel- hot bike!

Looks like you would be better off with a shorter stem with less drop, and pushing back the saddle an inch. Or not. Who am I to know?

awesome. very bizarre how we both did this. awesome none the less.

Yea I usually don't ride the saddle like that, but I was trying out new things heh. I since pushed it back the the normal position.

Yea for real. I was actuall going to get the Deda stem that you have, but I saw that you were using it and how much it costed, so I decided to do this one :D. We can just say that we have the best bikes :).

Damn. Didn't your mama ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? People get so negative and mean here, what gives? I actually like the stem/bar combo. I kinda wish the stem didn't have the writing on it though. As for the "donate it to goodwill" comment, that's just being an ass to be an ass. People should take that kind of attitude somewhere else.

He is a friend of mine :D. No worries.

Updated pic with 80mm Jaguar stem. Thanks travsi!

awesome

:eek::eek: *drool*

Oh, in that case....


nevermind.

:)

Set up feels real good right now, will make a couple changes when money allows. Will get a Thompson stem -15, with matching seatpost, running 46X16, will put a 15 or 14 on other side. Buying another bottle cage today because it is so dang hot. Love this bike.

Hehe.

as always, an exercise in ridiculousness:

the fluorescent jams totally melted the ccd of my camera. the top tube pad is neon green with orange applique "shants" that has pink threading... the rest of the thread is safety orange and the trim is a charcoal color. oh yes.

you can thank undertheweather for the abomination that is the top tube pad.

Oh god. How is it that your bikes always are awesome looking, even when completely ridiculous?

Those pink grips give me the willies for some reason.

I am now seeing afterimages of that saddle everywhere.

i've always wondered about the nitto jaguar/bullhorn combo

46x15 = 82 gear inches! ! ! !

whats the big deal? i often find myself running 46x14. its a good size for long distance.

Seems like a pretty tall gear for anywhere that isn't pancake flat...

or i'm weak\

shants bikes...absurdity at its finest.

Hello, 255.

.... oh my god. And I just fell back in love with those ****ing keirin bikes.

It IS pancake flat here. Biggest hill for 200 miles is the 17th street overpass I think or maybe the manmade MTB hill they built at Oleta Park.

:eek: damn! :roflmao:

That bike is pure class. I just shed a tear.
