Do you have any experience with the Velocity Fusion rim? And if so, what do you think of it?

Angie was using Fusions a while back that I built.
I think they're awesome. Deep V looks without the weight.

looking to pick up a kilo tt off local CL soon, trying to make sure i buy a size that fits... here's my measurements:
looking at the TT range, it's putting me on a 53.5-53.9 top tube which falls between the 50 and 53 mktt; would i be too cramped on a size 50 frame vs a 53? will be riding with horns or risers, mostly for casual riding

When Angie swapped out her S300s for Omniums, she kept the S300 BB.

Is your only requirement that it's all black? A lot of other factors should be considered when picking a crankset.

The cups are shaped a little bit differently and the ones that come with the S300 are black instead of gray. I haven't heard one single report of BB troubles when it comes to the S300, which leads me to believe they are different.

Those Phil cranks just look like Sugino 75 ripoffs with a fugly chairing and a ridiculous price tag. I'd just go with the 75s.

The back of the crank arms are also exceptionally hideous:

I have no idea which one you'll like better and you already posted a thread (complete with a poll) about this.
