Should I hop on the Chrome sale? Stock Cobra for $50 right now, pretty sure it'll be $40 tomorrow. And how do they fit? Measurements-wise it says I should get a small, but I haven't worn a Small since I was in high school.

I'm in the same boat as you, it looks really nice but don't know if I wanna wait and see if it's there tomorrow

Actually the faster the better, IMO.

This guy does it slo tho.

My big thing is sizing. I don't want to end up having to pay a **** ton of extra money to ship it back and then have another size sent back to me.

The reviews sounds like it runs small and "All Sale Items are Final" according to the site which makes it a more difficult decision

should I get a Sram Red Standard Crankset BB30 for my Leader 735.I can get it for $50 including the BB30 I think it would be pretty good for long rides considering my gear ratio would be 53 x 16

How the hell do you plan on installing a BB30 into that frame? Good deal or not, it's not going to happen.

Also, 53/16 is going to suck for just about everything.

that ratio would be horrible.

Maybe good in Florida if always riding with the wind, then taking the bus back home.

Well measuring put me on a Small, so I think I'll order a medium and hope like hell. I could probably just sell it to someone here at school if it doesn't fit.

Lol

That dude is either trolling or a complete asshat.

Dude. BB30 would work completely fine. And look ****** man.

Should I get this for my road build? http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/bik/3623219741.html

Ordering my Mr. Pink is not going particularly smoothly. It may still get ordered, but this frame is cool(and cheap). Only downside is that I'll need to sell my Force BB30 crank/bb for a GXP/Italian BB and grab a 1" threadless headset and shim. Maybe a new fork depending on how long the included one is. Time is not really an issue since the wheels aren't built and the weather is still crappy.

Thoughts?

If you're going to order the All City eventually why not just keep the Force crankset and find something used to put on the Bianchi? I'd say get it.

If I get this, I'll cancel the Mr. Pink and build this instead.

I'm just considering it because it's cheaper, cooler, and fits the bill on everything the Mr. Pink does with the exception of the things I need to sell/buy to accomodate the different specs.

Why are you having so much trouble ordering a Mr. Pink? Is the shop owner being weird?

Yep. I haven't worked at the shop in a couple months because it's been too slow for them to give me any hours, and he's all butthurt because he let me employee purchase my Tarmac and then I sold it without checking with him or giving him money or something(I didn't make any money on it, for the record).

Buying the Bianchi frameset would allow me to let the shop keep the money I already gave them for the Mr. Pink and just put it toward the bike I had them order for my girlfriend. Realistically, price, threaded BB, and the "cool retro frame bro" are the only things it has over the All City. I'm not sure if the fork steerer would be long enough to run threadless with a shim, and I'm not going to run a threaded headset, so I may need to factor a new fork into the cost.

i would rather mr pink

but why doesn't the mr pink come in pink?

Mr Brown

Looks like it is.

Nice frame, almost makes me want to repaint my Squadra.

Buy a Cinelli Bolt or EAI Bare Knuckle...?

Two different bikes with different materials and geometry. For what use?

I'd go Bareknuckle regardless, but these are things to consider.

Thank you for your response. I didn't think they were that different in geo, although I know one is al and the other is steel. I plan on building a new bike for everyday commuting about 10 miles to and from work. I know steel is a more relaxed ride, but damn the bolt is sleek.

Bare Knuckle.

look at geo charts it will help you choose what frames to compare with one another and not just choose 2 random frames.

I was going to compare the geo charts and tell you about how each frame would ride. But holy hell is the Mash X Cinelli website a pile of garbage.

The Bolt skids a little better. BK is more stable on no handed trackstands though.
