^If you have money to spend.

You can try to find used but still good condition flite too for probably no more than $50

yummygooey 02-18-12 12:29 PM

Or search "flight saddle" on eBay.

EpicSchwinn 02-18-12 09:23 PM

Have you ever spooned? Worth a shot if you're on a budget.

Should I black cranks+silver chain, or Silver cranks+black chain?

Black tires are in already, just waiting for wheels to get here. Pedals will be black/silver.

adriano 02-18-12 09:57 PM

Black cranks + silver chain. Never really liked black chains.

Seconded. Love my spoon.

Leukybear 02-21-12 11:16 PM

Suzue promax + TB14's?

Sigh, literally just finished a wheelbuild and I'm already planning another. :o

Sure. Why TB14's though?

Thirded. I've had people ask me why I put such a cheap saddle on a nice bike, and the answer is always that it's comfortable and looks good. Why spend more money when this one works great?

The badge:

And because I've always wanted another light wheelset & this seems to be a nice looking and economical combo.

adriano 02-22-12 11:29 AM

those are nice rims. not that the weight matters, but im surprised they weigh as much as they do.

hamfoh 02-22-12 01:51 PM

should I put hoods on my mash

Hoods and drops are amazing.

ddeadserious 02-22-12 01:53 PM

Probably. Hand positions are nice if you go on long rides.

qft

I'm starting to get pretty sick of the way my drops feel without hoods. Considering dummy hoods even if I look like a dummy riding them. Don't care.

cc700 02-22-12 02:10 PM

hell yes!!! GODZILLA and those would look sweet!

and i need to talk to you about some aeroheads and cx-rays.

EpicSchwinn 02-22-12 02:45 PM

490 grams!!??!!??

Velocity A23, Aerohead, and Fusion are all lighter than that and cost less.

I'll admit, I'd hit it based on looks but I'd just as soon pick up a set of Araya Golds even though they're t00bular.

Scrodzilla 02-22-12 04:12 PM

The badge weighs 70g.

In comparison, Velo Orange's 22mm wide Raid rim weighs 530g.
