The stock wheels that come on the TT Pro have held up great for the last 2 years. I should expect the same from the Open Pros correct? With the additional weight loss too?

Kayce 10-07-13 09:40 AM

The open pros are a big upgrade in quality, along with weight loss.

Should I...

Buy a Cinelli MASH Histogram Complete off of Craigslist for $450 or pass up what could be the best deal I'll ever get on a Cinelli to save some money?

Well if it's the right size and in good condition why not?
Especially if you consider that you love the frame so much that you might end up buying it full price later on.

Buy it. If you're not gonna ride it, flip it.

kriwhe 10-07-13 04:50 PM

Sounds almost too good to be true. Any info on the components?

Check on your city's stolen bike page (assuming they have one). $450 for a complete MASH, even with **** components, should be approached with at least a little skepticism.

HOWEVER, if the seller is just a moron and it's around a 52cm, I'll buy the frameset off of you for 450 :thumb:

kriwhe 10-07-13 06:33 PM

This.

Also make sure to check for any structural damage. Considering that a new frameset alone is about $1000 or so, selling a complete bike for $450 just doesn't make sense, even if it is used, unless of course there's something dodgy about it.

snowcow5 10-07-13 08:03 PM

I'm looking around to see if it was stolen and can't find anything... So, I'm trying to make it happen. It seemed too good to be true because it's the Histogram Complete from the Mash Storeroom that retailed for $1800. I'm still trying to get it figured out though because this guy is such a horrible communicator.

YK_ it's a 53cm so if I get a hold of it, we might be able to do some business! I'll let you know.

Thanks for the input everyone. And ya, even if I don't end up liking it that much I could flip this thing quick in Seattle for a solid profit margin.

Rock on.

Hipsters aren't really too keen with budgeting. Gotta pay that back rent. :lol:

Nagrom_ 10-07-13 10:29 PM

It's definitely stolen.

seau grateau 10-07-13 10:38 PM

Negative Nancy over here.

Awesome! Let me know.

I am going to n+1. I am debating on how I want to do it.

Option 1: Land Shark Track Shark for myself
Option 2: Land Shark Road Shark for my sqrlfriend

I currently own 4 bikes and my sqrl seldom rides her only bike so neither option will see a lot of ride time. I just want another Land Shark. What do?

seau grateau 10-09-13 04:40 AM

That's a joke question, right?

Mumonkan 10-09-13 06:45 AM

4+2=6

(math)

also, where the hell do you find all these damn landsharks?!

I don't know. They just fall into my lap :p

Nagrom_ 10-09-13 10:42 AM

Holy balls, that track shark is hot as ****.

spRICE 10-09-13 11:06 AM

That 48cm is hawt! (or maybe I'm partial to small bikes)
Also, I hate flames.

Mumonkan 10-09-13 12:08 PM

seen that flamejob track on ebay for a while now

Whoever chose the the font on the top tube should be fired.

jpsawyer 10-11-13 08:51 PM

Should I build up my purple All City Nature Boy with all black components or all silver components?

Scrodzilla 10-11-13 10:41 PM

That depends on if you want black or silver parts.
