no, looks arent priority number one, but i do want it to look classic/retro/vintage/whatever. i dont like the looks of curvy futuristic stuff with lots of labels and colors. ive eaten **** a couple times on bikes with cables. once i kicked a wire by accident and had to ride home stuck on the heaviest gear ever in the snow, and once a cable got caught in my chain somehow and i ate **** on an old 7-speed huffy. i didnt really know anything about bikes back then though, but im still kind of wary of cables, and i dont have the money for a well-made ten speed. i basically just threw drops on my cruiser for more hand positions and to feel like im going really fast, and i think they look sweet. if i ever want to ride a really long distance ill want to have a different bike though. i basically just ride my bike to the bar or friends houses or whatever. it wasnt a very good "should i..." question is all. im gonna run them anyway, i tried my friends and i could pedal a lot better. How does that even happen? |

Should I size down or size up?
My ftp is a 54 and I feel good on it. Every frame I look at is either 53 or 55. The most important thing I should be looking at is top tube length? |

I'd keep it stock if you care more about looks. I had a wound up on my cdale track but I took it off because the stock fork looked nicer/ more appropriate.

I dont think the fork would necessarily look bad on my bike though. I figured I may upgrade from steal if I could and get a nicer fork that is drilled.

Should I get Nashbar rollers from Craigslist for $50 instead of getting a new stem for my CAAD?
I was going to go -17deg 100mm instead of the -6 or -10 stock 100mm stem I have on now. I am leaning towards the rollers. I dont think the new stem will make that much of a difference. |
Rollers if you're gonna use em. I probably wouldn't need to take off my socks to count the number of time I used my rollers though.

hahaha less than 11 or do you have six fingers? could be 13.
or you could be a real freak and it could be 15. http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/...xauto-2548.jpg should i ... sell my FTP as a frameset and save up for a 1" njs bike? the powdercoat is SO unique and only has any meaning for me, so i'd be taking a HUGE hit just on that alone. but someone may like it. and the seat tube isn't cut super low but it's still a seat mast. I have the seat cutter for it. I love the ftp but it's just... not... well, i'm finding that i don't want to race track again or at least when i do i won't want to be competitive(just... you know... semi-competitive) and a steel bike would be awesome. plus this GT olympic track fork and jaguar stem and post and 123aa's and strong g grips are just too pretty to sit on a shelf. plus i could use the all city fixed in the meantime if i really just had to have a fixed gear for some reason. i wouldn't even mind racing it on the track if i never find an njs build. basically... the FTP newshiki is totally mine but it's such a bastard i'm starting to think i don't want it around forever. |

Very true, he's off to a better start than most.

Should I replace my B43 to origin 8 hubs with some h+son f30s to phil wood hubs now.
or just wait till they crap out? |
If you can afford them now, why not?
If you can't afford them now, then no? |
