JD, just curious.....why are you using that tube to secure your saddle when you have no quick release on it?
seems to me that having to unscrew the seatpost is enough of a deterrent for the average opportunistic type criminal. The professional criminals who have a screw driver with them are also likely to have scissors and chain cutters with them which make the tube moot.

Yup... it's a chain in a strip of tube, right on soyboy.. It's just to discourage thieves.. I try to do that as much as I can.

Oh yeah, my '85 Ventoux (R.I.P. as of last week) 
Sad to see it go, been with me since '88. Cracked/repaired right CS 5 yrs ago, left side just went last week....the 5 mile dirt road DH on its final ride probably didn't help.

Why would you need to deter thieves if your bike never leaves the garage? Judging by the bright white tires without a speck of dust on them lol.

So I really don't like white bikes for the most part, they usually end up making me think of ghost bikes and friends that died. These two though, these two make me fukin drool. Not bikes that I would build, but they look like they are set up really well for their intended purposes. Nice work guys, I hope they ride as nice as they look.

The Vilano I bought comes in white, I was after that in the first place, but they were sold out & waiting on the next order. I didn't want to wait a couple/few weeks so I wound up just getting a black one. Nice looking bikes.
