I don't know what to do.

Sell Specialized Langster frameset for $210 (already have multiple buyers), or trade for a 2013 Seafoam green Leader 725 frame/fork/headset and sell that...

Could I get more money out of the 725? It's in tip-top shape too.

Yes, a leader will certainly garner more steetcred aka dollars but does the frameset fit you in the first place? In the scenario that it doesn't sell.

Yes it does fit. But I think it'll almost surely sell; there are lots of fixie kids here in LA looking for Leaders haha.

My other question is, how much could I get out of it?

edit: looks like I'll be able to get $220 out of the Langster.

Should I build an around town bike (28c, fenders, fixed possibly conversion) or just swap platforms on my road bike?

What happened to your sweet fixie?Why don't you just use it as a townie bike?

Sold it :-/

Alright, thanks guys. I've been riding fixed for about 2-3 weeks now coming from a beat-up 3-speed with which I never did much more than 15 km/h. I'm currently averaging 25 so I'll just keep on going.


I bought some Chrome clipless compatible in the sale last month and I'm currently reviewing pedal options, looking at Time pedals mainly because that will allow me to ride my dad's 10 speed without having to switch cleats / not be able to clip in. Are these a good deal, I've already bargained the price down to 35 but noticed the left cleat appears to be worn out, so if I have to buy new cleats soon I might as well buy new ones immediately?

Looks like a pretty good deal, and the cleats don't look that badly worn. You could also get the basic ATAC Aliums new for 50USD here, but I don't know what shipping would cost you.

I wouldnt suggest the Time pedals for first clipless. Shimano cleats are more forgiving for figuring out your cleat adjustments

Should I buy veloplugs or rim tape?

my vote goes to veloplugs!

veloplugs

Veloplugs are painful to install and are comparatively expensive.

Rim tape.

Rim tape.

Veloplugs. I've had no problem installing them.

Velox fond de jante. Proven.

I like it very much.

Had to use Zefal on a wheel a couple of years ago and it seems just about as good.

Veloplugs are one of those products that fix a problem that never existed.

They fix a very specific "problem" and do it really well. They can save a handful of grams for a very cheap $/g ratio. But 30g does not matter in regards to the boat anchors most of us run.

I am? LOL.

it's easier to mount tires with veloplugs IME... weight savings is negligible, but so is the price difference

T-minus five minutes before the veloplugs/rim tape debate becomes the new brake or foot retention superiority debate

I use electrical tape for rim tape and duct tape for foot retention.

Tape is always the answer.

CX-Rays for my new build or not.
