Should I wrap the Nitto drops on my BK with Cinelli Caleido tape?

I'm leaning toward yes.

prooftheory 07-12-12 06:43 AM

Yes.

ddeadserious 07-12-12 07:44 AM

Yep. I dig that.

Scrodzilla 07-12-12 07:51 AM

It's settled then. :lol:

We just got some in yesterday and I can't stop starting at it (and wanting to eat it).

:lol: I'm not gonna lie, it kind of bums me out that I don't have a bike it'd look good on, and you have two!

Great reason to build another!

I thought you were talking about the bike I'd be putting the tape on.

That Cinelli is gross.

Yes

Still indecisive about this big buy for me right now. Should I get a Mercier kilo TT, Dawes stt al, or motobecane fantom UNO for my first Fixie that will primarily be used in NYC for recreation and fitness over the next year.

I get tons of recommendations for the kilo TT but I don't understand what makes it better. I looked at the cheaper bikes on BD but they don't include front brakes which when added brings the cost close to the $400 bikes. Going to pull the trigger on the purchase tonight.

Nvm, I found a Dawes SST AL in my size locally for $350 brand new and already built. I couldn't pass up the offer and committed to buy it.

Should I go with the saddle in the pic+white Fizik tape, or Black San Marco+Black Forte Tape?

Also, should I go with a full silver KMC chain?

Should I buy a breeding pair of ironmans? It's a ton of driving, but his and hers? Pretty sure I can talk Russ down below $200.

whole bike weighs less than 8 lbs
seems legit

cc700 07-24-12 02:08 AM

i really want the cinelli mash topo tape on about three of my bikes. but so spensive.

should i scrap the idea of a 1" threaded track bike if i can't get my friend's chrome pista?

i'm leaning toward yes and just saving for a militis3.

No, you should save your money for frame-building lessons. I thought you had a plan man.

Lessons? Pfft. Already have the tools, just gotta get the tubes. Been restoring a desoto and making artsy grazed/welded stuff for renn faires all summer. The frame's happening too.
