Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

OK, thanks. We're suppose to register our bikes when we park on campus and they want a serial number. I guess it's going to be 12345.

Their frames are made by Colossi in China (which isn't a bad thing).

FWIW, the F5100 is the exact same thing as Superb's Sprint frame. You know, the one they said was specifically designed and manufactured exclusively for them.

I'm not trying to jack scrod's thread, but the superb sprint is $700, and the F5100 converts to $475.49.

Also, if you want to have yours with a fully custom paint job, there is a HEFTY mark up of $31.76

Me too. Colossi frames may be made in China but they don't mess around when it comes to quality.

The Sprint frame is a nice, well made frame - but nowhere near the "boutique" price Superb is charging for it.

Should I hold off converting the 930 to a threadless setup until the thomson road bars are available?

I'm kind of hoping you looked so far into this because you're looking for a new RG frame and might just prove to be a killer competitor for Superb...

If it were a situation of gambling, you'd be smart to bet on that.

Yo Scrod,

When my rear tire starts developing small cracks in the surface of the rubber, does that mean it needs to be replaced?

When your tire turns to mashed potatoes is when you should change them.
