Velocity rims are considered the best bang/buck by a lot of people.

Oh. I was asking the difference between the rush frames. but ok. you answered his question also haha.

weight is similar. i was just wondering if the velocity rims, sapim spokes, and novatec hubs were worth the price difference over the wabi joytech hubs, jalco rims and no name spokes. im more familiar with the RG brands.
its only an $80 difference and would prefer to give scrod my money. Probably going with scrods just wanted a second opinion

@city: if $80 is NBD to you, I'd get scrod's fo'sho. I'd rather have those spokes and rims, kinda feel like the hubs are a wash

oh haha I got you two confused for a second.

Easiest way to tell old from new is the decals and the dropouts. The new Rush has sexy ass tange dropouts

Then its the older frame.

still an awesome frame!

Should I get my friend's used 2008 Cannondale Capo for a "first" bike for my younger brother? His first bike was stolen and he might be more enthusiastic about riding fixed gear.

that or an older Cannondale roadie

both are 56ish

The Capo is nice, but I have a soft spot for those old Cannondales with the cantilever drop outs.

How old is he? Why are you all so big?

Have a seat.

Mommies and daddies love each other. Sometimes mommies and daddies show each other how much we love each other in different ways than we show you guys...



[insert awkward conversation]


...and that's why you and your brother look a lot alike.

wat. I just wanna know why his apparent family are all nine feet tall.

Capo!

It's all a matter of jeans. The right jeans can make you skinny or baggy or have a ridiculous inseam in this case.

He's 16 almost 6' tall. He's skinny/narrow as hell though, about 120lbs. I could never be 120, at 180 I looked like a skeleton. Anyway, it looks like the roadie it is. We're going to look at it with my dad, who will be paying. This is mostly an effort to be a more involved brother and to give him something to do other than hang out with some less than decent friends.

6' 120? He should gain some weight.

quick this saddle for 25 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=247165or this for 30http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=247166

2nd one is cooler

flite ti.

Super crazy metabolism. He eats as much as I do

Haha, back in the day...

Should I buy some laminated single straps? Campy, MKS, or Toshi?

My current leather ones are falling apart.

Why singles when you can have doubles? :lol:
Have you given thought to cutting scrod's deluxe ones?

Been wanting a lock up bike for a while now and I have found a Pake Rum Runner the older ones with a 1" fork and a khs flite 100 for the exact same price which one should I get I know pake is an economy brand and flite 100 is just a kilo tt but which is better? I have no expierence with either company so I would really like to know.

I'm sure you already ride single strap so this info is useless

after riding doubles for so long I made the switch to a single strap (brooks, too poor for double) and it just feels way less 'safe' for lack of a better word. the double makes me feel all warm and cozy, like my foot isn't going anywhere

I totally see that, but I don't skid so it's kind of a moot point for me. Plus I don't care for the way doubles look.

Serious question: how do you plan to convert the top one to fixed? Because other than a whole lot of hunting and pecking for the right ratio or an eccentric axle [and maybe a halflink] I'm out of ideas, and both of those are a pain in the ass for someone who didn't set them up.

I don't think he planned to.

"that or an older Cannondale roadie"

well, he got a completely different bike now which can be converted in the future.

Should I sell my Kilo complete for $360?

It's just barely too big for me.

But I like the bike.

Hm, not sure...

sell

Histogram?
