It was way easier than I thought it would be. Loosening the stiff links were what was scary at first, but I figured that out too.

Today I may have decided to swap my gold 722 frame for a red sparkle one.

That red sparkle is sweet. I like it.

If you do it, will you be selling that gold one? If so, how much?

Dude SWEET. I was always in love with the red one!

Will a 58 even fit you?

today I almost face planted in the middle of an intersection because I was hauling ass to catch a green light and hit an unexpected dip before the light and it almost launched me over the handlebars. Played it off cool.. ladies around and such....

Today I and a group of friends formed a board of directors, fleshed out our by-laws, and filed to become a not-for-profit corporation in the state of Kansas. Sunday we do inventory and try to figure out some way to quantify our assets so we can get some of that sweet sweet grant money.

Depends on the geo. I ride a 58 now with no issues, and I checked that on a fitment calculator and multiple test rides in different sizes. I've ridden a couple bikes that 60/61 fit better, but on my current whip I prefer 58. I have 5 inches of post showing and get full extensions. The only thing I want to change is a longer stem.

Right on. Check the geo chart on our site and if you're interested, send me a PM or e-mail.

Emailed through the Retrogression contact page. This forum only lets you send so many PM's an hour and I hit that limit.

Skidded for the first time. On some leaf piles. But still. I fear I may have to get some better tires than these stock ones.

Today I noticed the Soma Rush got significantly prettier than the previous generation. New dropouts and head badge look classier.



/intrigued....

that's the one I have.

Hmmm. How do you like it compared to your leader and mash? Would you recommend it? I've been on a wild goose chase for a frame for quite some time and this one has really caught my eye. I like that it has 75 deg seat and headtube angles in my size but was a little concerned about whether or not it would be as heavy as my schwinn.

I ride it 2x more than either. i love it. though it's kind of pricey to build up, for what it is. I'd be tempted to look at the gazetta or a wabi frame if I was buying one now, but I have no complaints in regards to my Rush. I've had just about every combo of setup on it and I've liked all of them. I ride it to class on extremely rough roads 4x a week and do some longer rides on it too.

ive had a mash, a pista concept, and a rush for the past year. (the rush a bit longer).

the only one i have now is the soma. its awesome.

Today i inherited a old Ti mtb frame.It's flexy but it's pretty and should be a fun build.Trying to decide between ss and 1x9.

Looks quality imo, I'm also intrigued lol.

Today I'm iirked that either usps isn't scanning my incoming package, or it hasn't been shipped.
That and it's windy as fork outside.

Today I cleaned up my Schwinn since I have nothing else to do.

This is promising...
I see a bfssfg groupbuy in the works...

it's 1" right? i'm in.

Today, I left work an hour early. Got home and looked at my bike and considered riding before it got dark. Took a nap instead.

Yup! Quill stems for days

Apparently if you don't mind green (which I actually prefer) it costs $255.41 for the frame on Cycle Club Sports. Interestingly they have the identical frame in white listed for $352 which is more normal. Ground shipping is free according to the estimate I got.

Still not sure if I can trust that I will really get that frame for 65% of retail...

Me likie... add built in chain tensioners (like those on maxways) and it'll be perfect.
