I bet Scrod will give me a hard time for answering. But I bet he would also agree.

Without knowing what your budget is, I have no way of making suggestions.

Also doing some hunting last night i found a bianchi pista steel frame for $100 but the seatpost collar is slightly cracked. never had to get a frame repaired so is it fixable/expensive fix/worth it?

Scrod, do you sell any bike stands? I like the looks of this one posted below, i think it is the EVO. What do you use to stand single bikes in the shop?

There are enough frames in the world to not need to buy a cracked Bianchi Pista.

What's so special about them? Besides the marketing.

Nothing, it's all just internet hype. Whatever you do, don't buy one. Origin8 4 lyfe.

Hey Scrod,
I'm interested in the KMC K710SL chain, but only if I can push the link pins back in after breaking the chain. Is this possible or is this one of those KMC model chains where you can't or it's very difficult ?

I've done it without any issues most times but other times, the link having the pin that gets pushed back in will make an audible click every time it goes around.
Why not use the master link?

Well, sure, I could certainly do that, but it spoils the aesthetics of that chain with its pretty cutouts and all.

Gotcha. The new master link included with those chains doesn't have cutouts but matches the shape of the offset links if that's any consolation.
