that color of red is sweet.

why do those pake forks look like they have crazy rake, or is it just the headtube angle?

Why not just stay off the internet and yell at your penis?

For a moment there I thought your excess brake cable ran the length of your entire fork.

You should consider getting a setback thomson/ seatpost for your brooks for a more proper reach/ fit.

cuz i keep trying to take the thing to the track, but never have time except to ride around the city for a while and feel ******?

all stock except for saddle

Thanks, I basically chose the frame because of the price+the red colour.

The fork is fairly tight but comes off the steerer tube at an angle, so its straightness is slightly misleading.

Looks familiar

Got a daytime pick, but just a crappy phone pic:

def one of my fav frames...too bad its not short man friendly

Doomride

Replaced the drops with risers, I had difficulty coming to terms with the fact that this bike is now the cruiser bike. I rode it as my main and only bike for a long time, now it just gets used for short rides or dinkin' around. I think I'll live.

Damn, that is a sick bike. My favorite FTP.

The small fork doesnt look to bad

conbon

Ya, I always liked the look of a small steel fork on a beefy aluminum frame, ever since the cdale tracks. Plus, for a fork with low rake, its a lot cheaper than say an alpina or leader. And the steel helps offset the stiffness of the frame for street use. Very happy with how the build turned out.

I'm pretty sure he meant drops as in track drops as in B123's with a stem degree <0.

I meant that if your bike is setup with a lot of saddle to bar drop on any sort of drop bars in such a way that you cannot stay in the drops for very long, it does not mean that the drops are not useful.

However, I am certainly interested in hearing about a century done entirely in the drops with 8 inches from the top of the saddle to the flats.

hamfoh

mine is 4, not 8 , that pic was before I had my fit dialed in -- but yeah, entirely... nope

conbon

I mean, I rode this set up on the street for the last couple months with no problem. Bars currently boxed up to go to hamfoh or I'd reinstall them to measure. Really wasn't that bad, and I'd still get down in the drops to keep pacelines or climb hills or Sprint. Man up and quit complaining?



Ight, done whoring my ftp for a while...

The 8 was intended to be an exaggeration, your Mash looks fine

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm not against saddle to bar drop, as long as it fits. I feel like everyone's missed the point of my original statement, which was actually a reply to another post...

conbon

I got the point, why set up a bike that's uncomfortable to ride? Ya it looks cool, but then when you tell the interwebz its uncomfortable, they're gonna rip ya a new one. I agree with you, drop can be a good thing. My post was saying just that, since everybody seamed to think drop is the devils magic. Now quick, post something else intelligent while they're all distracted by this post...
