Dave, I got a chance to drop the bike from off the ground, and it indeed does replicate the "bell-like ring" noise.
Although at first I thought it was coming from the front, I cannot tell where it's coming from any more. I think it's coming from somewhere from the front-center part of the bike.

Well **** me! Just realized I got an early Christmas present from the grand dad. Goddam air compressor.
Was wondering what the hell I could use it for.

That's awesome.
I wonder if I know a guy who can get one, and I wonder what it would run me.

What do you think of something like Sun Ringle Black Flags mounted to All-City Sheriffs (28 spoke) for a multi-use wheelset?

Does anyone know of any good internal 1 1/8 headsets for under $100? The only ones I have found are cane creek. I was looking at the 40s series but I didnt know if there is something better out there.

Painfully average.
Why not the FSA ZS-3?

FSA does make plenty of internal headsets for under $100 though.

Also, I figured it out, it was the brake able on the top tube. Spidey sense ftw.

Thanks Ill look at fsa. Also I picked up a pair of nitt track drops today and I was wondering if there is a preferred way to put a brake lever on them. I only know about reverse internal-bar cable levers I was using but I dont want to drill a hole in these ones. Thanks.

a lil more open question to everyone here, how often does bikesdirect restock kilo TTs? I'm looking at the tt pro but Im a bit short of cash. I just wanted to hear others opinions before i do something drastic to get cash in case they restock regularly and I end up feeling like a fool.
and yes I know there is a email list I can get from them, and I know there is no way to be certain, i just need to know if I should purchase now or wait till spring-ish.

E-mail Bikes Direct and ask them.
