Get the color you want. Clipless shoes tend to last awhile and you don't want to be stuck with a color that you compromised to.

I was thinking of getting a new frame, but I'm not sure about frame value or what constitutes a good price.
Are either of these good deals? http://shop.loosenutscycles.com/prod...rack-bike-55cm http://shop.loosenutscycles.com/product/losa-road |
Well the second one is a road frame, and it has an Italian BB.

I'm just wondering if the prices are good for what those frames are. I don't have a good feel for vintage frame value. I'd like something that holds value in case I decide to sell it down the line. |
I'm a bit torn between componentry. Should I sacrifice weight savings for looks?

Should I buy this bike??? (First road bike) http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/bik/3237014632.html
|
I'd offer 80 for it and if he went to 90-100 if I had the money I would buy

Should I reinstall the stock fork on my cdale track? I have a wound up on it at the moment but I think it takes away from the character of the bike.

Stripping an aluminum frame really isn't that much work.

To match your fork? I would go for it; hi-polish & clearcoat.

Polishing aluminum is extremely time consuming.
(read: scrod, why did you let me buy a black rim in hopes of polishing it???!?) |
I tried talking you out of it by saying it was a matte, textured finish and "wishing you luck".
|
Well if you have access to a polishing wheel on a bench grinder or even better yet a high rpm stand alone grinder with polishing compounds... minimal effort EZ-PZ.
