a Kilo TT is a good deal, and will cost a good deal less than building this up(and you can pick a color you like).

If you would like to know, the classic and vintage appraisals subforum can help. Start a thread there and provide some detailed pictures (the above picture is NOT detailed).

You can see the stamped dropouts, kickstand plate, and cheap steel stem & bar. Bianchi is like the Italian Schwinn with bikes ranging from very cheap and up to the $$$ high end.

No thanks but I want black. I have a caliper I've been wanting to throw on, but still no levers at the moment! :(

AristoNYC 03-11-13 09:36 PM

I have too many bikes at this time:
Giant TCX
Dolan Pre Cursa
Schwinn Tempo
SE Premium Brew
Leader 722
(hopefully on thursday a Cannondale CAAD10)

should I unload the Dolan & Leader?

calv 03-11-13 09:38 PM

Keep the Dolan and give that Schwinn to jdg or hairnet lol.

That underscore erks me. Sometimes when I look at my profile I have views by the underscoreless nagrom. I hate him. Don't even know him, but I hate him.

I'm always curious how some of those people even make it to my profile.

LesterOfPuppets 03-11-13 10:20 PM

I go to lots of profiles when on my phone - so hard to tap thread title instead of thread starter. I sometimes wonder if people are wondering why I'm cruzing their profile.

Dannihilator 03-11-13 10:21 PM

That happens when I'm on my nook.

no1mad 03-11-13 10:39 PM

It's happened using the touchpad on the laptop.

Here I was thinking it was only me. Apologies to anyone who's scared I'm stalking them :o

Should I invest in a San Marco Zoncolan saddle? I currently have a San marco Ponza Power.

seau grateau 03-13-13 01:42 PM

Do you like the Ponza?

yummygooey 03-13-13 02:47 PM

Should I buy a Yeti Arc X frame for $500, or with EC90X for $600. No space for it at the moment, so it'll be sitting bare for a bit... it seems like a difficult frame to come by tho, so I don't mind snagging it while I have the chance.

Mumonkan 03-13-13 03:23 PM

looks like a cool frame, so much CX bieks!

dont you hate the 90x though?

yummygooey 03-13-13 03:26 PM

i'm gonna sell my on1. no gears sux in seattle.

the 90x wouldn't be so bad if i used mini v

i say go for it then, you got azn size on1 right?

One of the bikes I've decided to keep is a '73 Schwinn Sport Voyageur, almost completely orig, (wheels and saddle not orig) I've been thinking on making a SS out of it as there really aren't any hills that I would worry about in my neighborhood. Its a pretty sweet bike as it sits but it would be a little lighter as a SS and more what I need to zip around my neighborhood. So yeah, "should I?"

Reeses 03-13-13 05:03 PM

- MKS RX-1 Pedals w/ MKS cages, welgo straps
- Generic seatpost
- WTB saddle

- Rear alex rim and shimano 600 front wheel

yummygooey 03-13-13 07:32 PM

LesterOfPuppets 03-13-13 07:33 PM
