yummy, just take off the "novatec" part. leave the force.
for maximum tarck =>

*edit: then have lilc make you 8 decals that says "USE THE" and add in place of the novatec text.

Sexy. Finally complete. :D

Idk about you guys but the decals in this case really complete the bike IMO. If you're wondering how your bike would look without them, it's a couple clicks in photoshop away.

I'd be tempted to strip everything but the "F"s

ask us a $1300 question again when you have 1300 posts. but the answer is: why not? you seem rich enough to troll =<

Should I buy a $3303 Mavic Open pro wheelset?

Nagrom_ 02-05-12 05:06 PM

for 3.3k i think you could get a nicer wheelset...

homebrewk 02-05-12 05:06 PM

Sigh.

Nagrom_ 02-05-12 05:07 PM

you should get a $3.3k wheelset though.

Stezzy 02-05-12 05:23 PM

i got some open pro cds ill sell ya for 3.2k. competitive pricing mann

homebrewk 02-05-12 05:47 PM

I think I'll just settle for some Deep V's laced to formulas. The same guy has a like new set for $2750.

Nagrom_ 02-05-12 05:49 PM

solid gold spokes?

homebrewk 02-05-12 05:55 PM

No. Just double butted.

Nagrom_ 02-05-12 06:02 PM

how about the nipples? solid gold nipples?

homebrewk 02-05-12 06:12 PM

Yeah. And the tires are hand-woven by artisans in Prussia. (you heard me right)

I hear Prussian quality started to plummet around '47.... even with gold nipples, probably not worth the money....

homebrewk 02-05-12 07:25 PM

Yeah. I'll see if I can get him down to $2500.

if we keep going, the new kids will think we're all serious. kids, we're kidding. uncle jamboo was just being angry for the thing we did to him. he'll forgive us soon.

homebrewk 02-05-12 07:31 PM

Alright... fine. I'm just joking guys.

Nagrom_ 02-05-12 07:37 PM

I'm not...
Prussian handy work is total trash.

Should I buy some Cane Creek Volos?

Crappymonkey 02-12-12 08:34 AM

Should I sell my Gibson Flying V on Craigslist to fund a Chinese frame road build (Cervelo S3 style frame with Campy Veloce components)? I have 13 guitars/basses at the moment and the V is my newest so I have the least connection to it but it's still a sweet guitar.

cc700 02-12-12 08:38 AM

do you have an explorer?

i wouldn't get rid of a v unless i had a real explorer. then i'd drop it like haute fyah

hell, i can't even play more than power chords but i'd stil rather have an explorer than a chinese carbon veloce group build.

maybe a real S3 would be worth getting rid of a gibson...

I don't have an Explorer which I would also prefer over the V as you can comfortably play it sitting down. However, I do have a Dean Cadillac which has the top half of an Explorer and the bottom of an LP :p . Getting rid of a Gibson isn't an issues as I would still have my '61 re-issue SG and my LP Custom.

Is the Veloce group bad? I've only ever had Shimano (600 and 105) or Sram (Rival) groups on my bikes.
