I've delivered multiple times amongst my nearly 6k posts, this is the first time I solicited it through... there's more where it came from. :p

Should I:
Strip my red Gangsta Track and paint it orange or similar florescent orange? Im so conflicted because I love red but I love the orange Gangsta because it was the first BMW Ive ever seen that what made me want to get one.

should i sell my big block and get a gangsta track? (you guys are really making me want a gangsta track)

Benson 04-22-12 12:55 PM

Honestly out of all the bikes I have I love and ride the Gangsta track the most.

Why even ask? That's a steal.

I can get a complete soma rush for 300, but its a size too big. should I get it and try to trade for a medium after i have the bike?

Try not to leave any finger prints when you hide the evidence.

Yes. That's what a frame set goes for (what parts, btw)

If anything, you can sell it to me for $400, if it doesn't fit :D

nice looking soma. makes me want one.

Should I get black or silver Shimano 105 pedals?
Black will match the everything on the bike, but I hear the paint chips really fast. Its also $5 bucks more, lol.

Paint?! Get Look pedals. There is no paint to chip :)

EDIT : They are coated in very thick plastic... After 2000 miles of use, my pedals are still black and awesome looking. The only "paint" that wore off, is the look logo after many unclippings.

Did some searching because I love mine so much :

http://www.amazon.com/Look-Keo-Class.../dp/B001KMF7XW

For $80 these are hard to beat. Adjustable tension, very stiff pedals. Difference between this and KEO 2 Max? Nothing we could possibly ever notice. The LOOK pedal system is rock solid.

cc700 04-23-12 05:32 PM

i want an alphaQ cx fork for the acnb. i also want an alpina for the ftp.

should i get those instead of a traditional track frame? i don't need another bike, at all.

same but cheaper?

gigantor 04-23-12 06:08 PM

Yup same... Those are definitely on par with the 105's (personally I think they're better), but the paint won't chip!

But, but... I was gonna get r540's for the roadie, so I don't have to swap pedals or shoes.

Same cleat. Does Look make a cheap pedal?

yummygooey 04-23-12 08:35 PM

R540's are great for the money.
