Not a fan of brakeless setups, and not a fan of risers anymore... but I actually kind of like this bike.

What frame BTW? Motobecane Track?

evilcryalotmore

Thanks buddy, Its actually "The hour" I normally run with drop downs and a brake, But i like the risers for barspinning

NateRod

Ah. I noticed the windsor hour decals on the top picture now. Looks nice.

evilcryalotmore

Thank you, I want a new saddle, But i dont know what saddle to get.

NateRod

I like my Selle Italia Turbo

Deshi

Selle Italia Turbo, SLR, and Soma Okami are the three I like the most.

EDIT: The most comfortable saddle iv owned for me was the Fizik Arione, I highly regret selling that one.

I love my Turbo but my Selle An-atomica blows it away in terms of comfort.

Gyeswho

Almost there! I need to figure out if I want to keep the decals or not

bloom87

Gyeswho, nice wheels, lets see a full shot!

Heres a couple recent (crappy iphone) pix of the felt. New toshi straps and new bullhorns (deda chrononero 40cm). Bike is SOLID. I don't think I've felt this comfortable on any bike.

That's a really nice Felt. How'd you get those decals off, or was it powdercoated?

generate

Thanks! It was powdercoated...

evilcryalotmore

How heavy is that bike?

thirdgenbird

generate,

i LOVE the bike. great component choice.

one small critique, im not a fan of carbon spacers if thats the only carbon on the bike. good old black aluminum would be much better

cleanupinaisle3

I am feeling that Felt, generate. Aluminum FTW. If I didn't love my T1 so much I would've definitely gone for a TK.

I miss bullhorns.

It's my only bike at the moment... so yeah.

The frame is already a bit chipped from locking up, but what are you gonna do? Bikes are meant to be used.

kato7997

Is that a 35mm shot? Or is it just those colors playing with me...

K. Legaspi

Loving the warm weather! Haha

I actually just took it with my crappy point-and-shoot. Cross-processed in Nik Effects.

I'll take some decent photos with my 35 mm prime eventually.

monsterkidz

That Felt is really nice and simple. Do you get that thing on the track?

nutcase

My cheap SS Schwinn Cutter. I know it's not the best but it has been a good bike,and I have been doing small upgrades.

mattellermets

my beater bike.

kato7997

Nice. I like the stickers...sets it apart from all the deep section wheels that abound.

Gyeswho

I decided not to keep the stickers

Details:
When I originally bought the bike, it was intended to have Omniums on them, but because the chainstays were so fat, the crankarm spider would hit. Tom Kellogg didn't, at the time I addressed the issue, think to tell me to send it in to dimple the stays a bit further. Instead, I found a deal on some Campy cranks and proceeded to use those. Same isssue happened with the Campy's. I told Tom and he sent me a long BB to clear the stays. I settled for the problem without making a fuss for a couple of months, but it really was a bit too wide. It wasn't until my friend told me I shouldn't have settled and revisited the issue again. Tom tells me to send in the cranks with the frame and it'll be taken care of. Done. Scored a deal on the Reynolds Recon wheels and now it feels like a whole new bike again!

Specs:
Thomson Elite setback seatpost
Thomson X2 stem
Dimension flat top shallow bar with Stella Azzura Eleganza tape (the grip is really nice to the touch)
Brooks Swallow
Reynolds Recon wheels (Bonktown special: basically Reynolds Attack carbon clincher rims with track hubs)
Time Atac XS
Profile Design Aqua Rack
Vittoria Rubino Pro
Truvativ Omnium cranks (167.5mm)

man, that looks COMFY.

Who here has a Wabi? Brian? I can't find any pictures of them. I think I'm gonna buy the Wabi Classic frameset.
