but then ill be so aero lol not really
yah you are really right. aerospokes are NOT worth 250. definitely not what they go for new (i was just googlin' around and then i saw aerospokes going for 400 new and i said out loud "you're ****ing kidding me!! lol" and a coworker was like "what?" and i didn't feel like explaining the atrocious price of new aerospokes and what an aerospoke is and it was awkward anywho)

and it will make the bike heavier. and it might not even look better.

but...if i ever had a chance to buy a front aerospoke for around 100 bucks I WOULD DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT
ps hey scrod watcha doin with that aerospoke EDIT nevermind lol nice profit:)

Why are those your only two options btw? If I had a vote, it'd be omnoms straight away*

*have owned 3 omniums and 1 s300s

Mainly because I didn't really take the time to research anything else really. Do you have any other suggestions?

Used Sugino 75s if you're on a budget?

yeah if you need to keep it <220 I'd get some used 75s

yummygooey 02-15-12 10:30 AM

Derp get those 75's and a Protype BB, done for $160.

cc700 02-15-12 10:50 AM

god i want some 75s.

should i relace my superhottie hubs to deep section rims, carbon tubies, or open pro cds?

also considering tb14 instead of open pros. whatever it is must be 28h f/r.

yummygooey 02-15-12 10:55 AM

Wut the! Why is everyone like I want the 75's but I'm not buying them? They look 95% new and they're the same price as RD2's or whatever. I would buy them but I already have a set (althought they're pretty beat up :() and there's no way the Kilo is getting 75's.

cc700 02-15-12 11:24 AM

i'm looking for a job, what's your excuse?

redpear 02-15-12 11:44 AM

Poor student, opting out.

Spent $105 on STP yesterday. And probably spent like $500 on bike stuff in the past month. And I already have some.

There was a guy on SFF selling black 170s with a 50t mighty comp for $100. Exactly the same as my setup lol

That last one is gold ano. Obviously that only works on aluminum bikes.

I have a couple of textured colors too. Various types of rock- granite, slate, rust(!) and I think there are even some leatherettes.
There's always day-glo too.

should i...

let a riding buddy buy my recently finished "hipster mountain bike"?

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/100_3764.jpg

just got back from the mtb park, where i made the mistake of letting him try it. on the drive home he was driving me nutz about wanting to buy it & made me a crazy high offer

so far i like this bike a lot & have hardly "road" it...

but, a profit is a profit, right?

pylea 02-15-12 05:54 PM

Sell it

cc700 02-15-12 06:01 PM

yeah dude, sell it as long as he's not going to be all "you didn't tell me it only cost blah blah blah" later. not worth drama, but **** man, sell it.
