I like 48/19 on my fixed for tooling around. Plus if you skid, you have 19 skid patches.

Should I buy a Toronto Fixed Jersey for $50?

Sure, why not

Its a really rad jersey. Im not super into the bibs, but you maybe.

Either way

Thanks, I'm taken your guys' advice and go with the 48x19.

Should I shell out 370 for silver sugino 75 crankarms, bb, and 47t zen chainring? Bout 400 miles on em and look near new.

Definitely not worth it, IMO, even if that is a good price.

Haha eff it, you're right.

More info on that?

Nevermind. Never knew that site existed.

Even if you knocked off $100, I still didn't wouldn't pay that much. $370 is insane.

Should I get a Leader Kagero or Cinelli Mash frame for my next build?

Personally, I'd go with a Kagero.

Yeah, so true. It's not even that much of a discount after I looked into it.

Of those two options, I'd get the Cinelli. If I were you with your budget though, I'd look for an older obscure handmade track frame with some character. Someone on my local forum is selling this Merrick frame and I'd choose it 10 times out of 10 since it's way cooler than any of newfangled track frames that have come out in recent years.

I can get behind that. At the moment I have a 'city' bike that I feel comfortable locking up for long periods of time in the city and now I want to build a new school track bike. After that I have considered building a 'vintage' setup...or for my wife as she digs the old stuff more. Nothing wrong with having multiple.

Whoa, that bike is incredible.

Needs green saddle pole.

lol @ "saddle pole"

Histogram or Bolt?

Racing or street riding?

Should I get a brooks saddle for windsor hour? Its getting retired to "townie" duties(groceries, pleasure cruises with the dog, etc) Looking to smooth out the ride a bit, got some fresh 25c vittoria rubinos(big improvement over the 23c kendas) and some relaxed moustashe bars. I'm hesitant because I don't have a threadless stem and I never thought they looked "right" on anything else - but my bike is sort of a Frankenstein at this point anyway so if they're that much more comfortable I'm all in.

If so, which?

nah townies should have cheap saddles on them so you can scratch them up.

It seems that saddles are about the most personal choices one makes on a bike. Brooks saddles seem to be the most personal opinion of the saddle group.

Folks that like the Brooks are quite loyal, some keeping the same one for decades!!! I would think it worthwhile to try and see for yourself. A search of used Brooks saddles on eBay right now turns up 41 candidates. One might be yours!!!

Should I put a basket on the Excel?

Should I buy a fuji feather frame + headset, stem, eggbeaters, crankset, seatpost for $160? My biggest issue is having to buy a fork. The wheelset I can just order off velomine.
