What's up with all the assh0les in here? Haters...seriously. I used to ride twisted spokes on my old haro group 1 a, and I've always liked them. Hipster poser? Far from it. Say that to my face, e-thugger.
But anyway, the wheel is true and there's nothin' wrong with lacing up your spokes differently than others as long as it's functional still. *******.

CC---yeah I like those Dolans a lot too. Probikekit.com is selling the black one for 650 (shipped). Honestly, I think it might be one of the best deals on a complete fixed gear bike. Light, aluminum frame w/ CF fork, decent wheels and crank, nice bars/stem...yeah. I like it, and I think it's a great deal. Sure doees look a lot better than Leader. I think I like it more than FTP, aesthetically.

lol, i forgot internet humor is ill conveyed without emoticons. i'll need to work on my e-sarcasm hahaha
yes i enjoy twisted spokes, my front rim has been wonderful, once trued up seems to be harder to knock out of true than a regular 3x (but this is all guessing)

"sure does LOOK a lot better than Leader"
Do I need to ride a leader to say I don't like the way it looks? i was talking about aesthetics only when I talked about the Leader and FTP

What kinda rims are those. I need to get a matching wheelset for my pista...right now I have some mismatched Mavic rims that just aren't doing the bike justice.

I am DIGGIN your ride, man. Looks really good. I love the rim/tire combo and the seat actually looks good (usually I don't like Brooks on new bikes). I think you could make it look even beter if you took all the decals off of it, but that's just cause I don't like those bianchi decals

I've been really tempted to strip it several times but I always chicken out. I'm not one to hang on to stuff for too long, so most likely I'll be selling this next year and it seems like stripping it would lower the resale value. Plus they don't bug me.
I think I'll keep my fork too. Good luck with that though

Ah, I just didn't see the velocity logo on there anywhere...How does the non-machined surface workout with the break? Doesn't it rub the paint off?
