aka mattio
long they are. i assumed it was a you-being-tall thing. i fell in love with 165mm cranks (incidentally, miche) after riding 170s for too long. going shorter is great. it coincided with gearing down, which was also great, and a frame that fits well too.
great great great. everything is great.

the Miche are long and have a tight spot in the chain...i got a good deal for them used.

i like the vredesteins, they are a little stiff though. they don't ride like a 28c gatorskin that's for sure. they last about a month on the back riding with no brakes, you might be able to see a little skid patch in that one photo if you look hard. they are more like a 20c tire than 23.
they handle pretty nice on the front too but i put that Vittoria on the front.
i probably ride atleast 500 miles a month...so 500 miles of short skids and skips and the occasional horribly long skid messing around.
the cranks are 172.5, i want a 165 or 167.5...i might consider Miche again, they are stiff cranks. i'd like to get back the 49/17 gearing too.

I usually like to hate on French bikes but that one is bringing the crushing. Like it a lot.

It is, it is.
My favorite chains by far.
Thanks for the love guys!
Dude Sniks. I saw your Concept on Sffixed yestersay, and said holy **** out load in front of a customer. It was great!
I know. We have the worst shop organization. The head mechanic's bench is a hell hole. They think i'm weird for keeping my bench semi clean haha.

MASH sticker matches the MASH hub, dude.
I think I'd need sun glasses to look at that bike outside.
