Took apart the Makino for the trade and threw this one together. Same wheelset and cranks, but Kashimax saddle, nitto seat post, nitto stem (NJS this time), and wider 123s that I'd like to switch out to the smaller ones.

He he he...wait'll you see my new build mate. I've told no one. But it involves a ton of carbon goodies, all in raw matte black (weave). Don't buy into the hype over carbon wheels...they can be strong as **** in most circumstances. I like it...must get a Kenevan's one day.


Life should be fun. Have at it balls out, I say.

Ben, looks sick. I knew it would. Way better with the white wheels than the red.

oh man, that bike is radical.

is that the 65 degree nitto stem?

i wish i could find that bad boy for under 3 digit figures.

Most carbon wheels are fine, it's that particular wheel that has a well documented catastrophic failure mode. I'm sure ronex knows this and will be careful, just don't let that wheel get too hot, and check them for cracks often.

WTF I went to bed and woke up and it was Christmas in the bike pron department!
all three of those bike are, dare I say the T!TS.
I love your basso conversion big fan of that style with the risers, very cool.

Is joining the bike-of-the-day club the thing to do when visiting Japan?

thank you, thank you.

It looks like the 58deg drop.

It wasn't me Rhonda!

Wow, br, your Eimei really is the T!TS.

Serendipper's got me all excited for his new build, too.

I'm all a-twitter.

Yeah, I've been looking forward to see what dipper and derek are working on.

Nice!! What kind of tires are those?

yeah that front tire is nice, is it a tubular?

Holy amazing bike rain. Please rain harder!

that's tight! bring that **** out on thursday.

roger that ....continental competition front rubino pro tech back ....singles suck especially since i work on it so if i flat im fu.cked ...and i have heard alot of bad press on spinergy ....it doesnt help that i ride hard and wheelie all the time and pose out doing tricks whenever i dont have work on ....but fu.k it i say i bought it with tyre for 60 $ U.S and i love it !!!! hope they have the internet in hospital !!!

Australia will never be the same. Seen mrwhite's new bell?

ring-a-ding!!!

Don't get to excited...the deal on the pink bike fell through an unexpected hole in my life.

In other news...I have another 97% carbon fibre bike that's almost done, just waiting on tires (carbon aero seatpost just came in--thank you priority mail!).

I shall not weep over my inability to consume vast amounts of material goods. Just had a death in the family. Some things are precedent.

-'Dipper out:)

Thanks 165. Best mail surprise in a long time. You're in the running for back-to-back 'BF Nice Guy' awards - though I'm curious to read the 165 v Sacha White thread... anyone?

Gonz was blown away by it - and thought the bell was cool too ;)

Safety first!

God I love that Adam White character---always on the up!

My girlfriend almost dumped me for that Colnago at the TTown swap.

I would have understood.

I actually have no idea. The seller threw in the stem, bars, seat post, and saddle for a little extra. Can't seem to find any numbers that look like they indicate degrees on the stem.
