The only way the aerospok works is if you have a Zipp disc on the rear.

It's a real bike, one of the other owners at NOBRAKES. Most of our personal bikes eye catching whether you like them or not. Funny bikes, pursuit bikes, NJS, pink orange and mint wheels, all the stuff that some love and some love to make fun of.

No Brakes! has done a lot to make all sorts of colored components available. they've done their share of classy builds as well and are all really decent dudes.

also, they're the ones that were commissioned to make these bars.

I got my aerospoke painted white from the factory. It only cost me $390 total so that $150 upcharge sounds fishy to me.

LOL, you spent $75 per spoke. I have a feeling that you are running a Diacompe SS, as well

Well, I read this a long time ago. I have no idea if it's true, or what Vittoria's factory situation is like.

Not so. I didn't remember the thread you were talking about, so I looked back a few pages and found it. I didn't even open that thread, much less post anything. I've certainly said it before, but I didn't seek out a thread on bar spins or anything.

Well, it is a boutique bike shop based around the more fashionable aspects of cycling...

You would actually leave because of colored hubs and aerospokes? Strange.

Everyone is really nice and super helpful at no brakes. They get a lot of parts that others cant
