It was probably the best party we've had so far. About a hundred people showed up and when the cops came because we were raging, they were cool too.

Some ****head fixie foo who we just discovered cheated by having one of his friends do a checkpoint for him. What goes around will come around.

Some pics have been posted on our instagram and I'll be posting a bunch more on our fb page as soon as I have a minute to go through them all.

You answered your own question. :)

The C17 feels a lot like a Team Pro.

Sometimes we throw in stickers, sometimes we throw in other goodies.

An order from RG is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.

I got energy beans last time

Hey scrod, any observations of how the black paint on black archetypes hold up over time when run with a brake?

The finish on Angie's front rim is finally starting to wear off after over two years.

I like the sound of that^

Did the hive get back to you over those bolts of steel?

I've got the standard steel MKS clips on my Urban Platforms and they are a bit tight on my toes with some of my shoes, so I was wondering if the MKS deep clips will make enough difference to bother changing them.

Some are on the way here as I type this. I'll let you know when they arrive.

Should definiately help

Great news

Another shop related question for you scrod, do you usually have all the differently finished 32H archetypes on hand?

They're bigger enough to make a noticeable difference.

We try to keep all of them in stock all the time but the amount of wheel builds we've been doing lately has been insane so it would probably be best to call/e/mail before coming down to get them.

I'll say my archetypes paint was gone within a couple of months but that's due to Portland weather and grime.

Scrod, what are your suggestions on a low rise riser bar like the easton ea50 but with a 26 clamp and silver finish.

Risers having a 26.0 clamp are pretty hard to come by. I think PureFix or one of those other budget companies make one but if you want to use anything nicer, you'll need to use shim on 25.4 bars.

Amazon.com : Eighthinch Fixed Gear Single Speed Riser Bar Polished Silver : Sports & Outdoors

don't know what size lever it takes

That Amazon listing is wrong. Those bars have a 25.4mm clamp area.

Scrod, regarding all city crayton steel double toe clips, what makes you choose between the medium and large sizes? Preference, shoe size, how slim or big your shoes are?

For reference, I wear size 10 shoes and don't wear too thick of shoes. Are medium clips right for me?

What pedals will you be using them with?

Gr10

Medium

Thanks!

I e-mailed them to ask but here's another reference stating they're 26.0.

EIGHTHINCH RISERS | THE FIXED LIFE

I've seen them on multiple sites claiming this.

They're all probably parroting the same incorrect information. Unless Eigth Inch themselves state this, then it's probably unreliable. I'd put my money on Scrod being correct on this one.

Considering I've measured them myself using a digital caliper, I'm telling you (again) that is incorrect.

If anyone can't wait for them to set up lbs/dealer network - and is that interested in having one, considering they do make a really nice frame...Colossi seems to already be open for bidness direct to individuals, not that there is anything wrong with that ;-)

Frames - Stocked ? Colossi.us

I just spoke to the sales rep two days ago and assure you the frames haven't arrived in the US yet, which is why all the frames on their site show a delivery time of four weeks from the order date. He also told me the prices on their site may not be 100% accurate at this time.

Eighthinch and wheel&sprocket responded to my e-mail stating they're 26.0. They're probably a newer batch than the ones you measured.

Whatever you say. This is your thread, after all.

What is the largest tire that will fit a 46cm Cretin frameset, assuming a front brake but no rear brake. Specifically, would Fyxation Session 700x28c tires, which run large and are closer to 700x32c work ?
