It's good to have more than one set of bars on hand.

Also you can add bar ends for more hand pozish. It is my chillin/bad weather bar set-up of choice.

Yeah, I'm down to just my drops at the moment.

What's your guys opinion on paul cranks? And if paul cranks were at the right price used; would you jump on them?

Only if you buy these to go on your valve-stems as well:

Darn, they don't come in presta.

I would buy them if the price was low enough to make a nice profit on flipping them.

Should I?

No and no.

I needed that :)

And Leuky: not unless you have an ed hardy kit.

When I got my bike back after it was stolen, the thief put one of these on. Kept it for a good luck charm until I switched to prestas.

Should I build a winter commuter or should I start building a dedicated track bike?

How close do you live to a track?

You could rock Presta adapters and keep them.

~12 miles.

****. Build up a dedicated track bike.

i am very tempted to wrap my new bullhorns from the the center outwards instead of from the ends in.

should i do it?

Do what you want, but if you post it here, everyone will say you wrapped them wrong

Hah, I have one of those for a hood ornament on my *****in' 1990 Buick Century.

Long time lurker, furst time poster..

Kilo TT (stripper) or Motobecane Track?

those are two very different bikes.

Well, I'm in a predicament now. Seeing as the Soma Rush frame I ordered was out of stock in the khaki green color I wanted, I'm forced to reconsider what I'm going to get if anything.

You can only get the Khaki Green from Somafab now and it costs $389.99
A white one can be had from Tree Fort Bikes for $337.95

I just don't consider myself much of a white frame kind of guy. The lame part is the shop with the out of stock green rush had it listed at $255.41. No wonder they're all sold out. Should I donate plasma and sell my kidney to make up for the extra $135 the green would cost, pay the extra $83 for the white one that doesn't excite me as much, or do something else. If anyone knows a place that has the green in 57cm for less than 390, lemme kno!

If you don't like the white one (datsracist.gif) then just wait until the green one comes back in stock. If you are going to drop 3 over benjamins on a frame then get what you want.

Soma commissions 200-300 of each model of frame manufactured per year (http://www.somafab.com/faqs). With two colors and 7 sizes each that means there are probably less than 20 green 57cm rushes in the world. I'm assuming what they have left in their warehouse is what's left.

Wow.

I'm not sure what you should do now.
