Hi.
Do you think you can get a 2015 vigorelli frame to Syracuse by Columbus day weekend?
I Couldn't pm you due to lack of posts.
Could you pm me ?

Nobody can PM me because I have it disabled in my settings.

Why would you ask me this on BikeForums instead of contacting my shop directly? Also, all questions regarding shipping are already answered on the FAQ page found on our site.

I see the faq now. Thanks.

Apparently Unknown Bike Co. makes a 2.9 lb frame... for $349.


Surely, this must be a low quality frame for that price, right?

But it's SCANDIUM. I mentioned this in another thread and no one weighed in on it. I'm curious to know as well.

The only thing I know about Scandium is that when I played in college, I had some lacrosse sticks that claimed to be made out of scandium. Idunno, lol.

Scrod, how did you get into mopeds?

Angie got me into them.

It must be because everything Unknown makes is crap.

Sacndium is just another aluminum alloy. What you have here is another cheap Asian aluminum frame.

Also, maybe this is a silly question.. I have roughly $200-$300 to spend on a new wheelset.

On your site, the Miche Pistard set is on sale for $250. There's also an H+Son Archetype/Formula set that's up for $250.

Out of those 2, is either one strongly preferable? Or are they fairly similar in terms of quality.

Archetypes are a little lighter but they're pretty similar overall quality and either one will hold up just fine. Rims on the Miche set are Ambrosio Pistas.

Thanks.

Love my Miche wheelset - still smooth and true after three and a half years riding.

Have you tried the new all city rings yet?

Nope, but they sure do seem nice.

I just ordered one through a local shop. I'll let you know what it's like. As if I could feel a difference.

hey scrod is this how you lost your dreads?

wow what a terrible idea

Hey Scrod Love what your'e doing at retrogression Grade site. My question regards the All city thunderdome. I am around six three and a half do you think that the 58cm Thunderdome is to small for me

So I'm looking for some drop bars to replace the risers on my Iro Mark V. I want a drop bar that's somewhere between a track and a road bar: has the nice curves of a track bar but not such an immediate and drastic drop so I'm holding the bars on top right next to the stem. Here's a couple I've found that have grabbed my interest:

Deda Elementi Pista handlebar | Retrogression seems like there might not be enough room on top?
Gran Compe Drop Bar ? Factory Five these caught my eye but i'm not familiar with gran compe plus doesn't look like it's a 31.7 clamp
Deda Elementi Newton 31.7 Deep Drop Bar > Components > Handlebars and Stems > Drop Handlebars | Jenson USA or Deda Elementi Newton 31.7 Shallow Bar > Components > Handlebars and Stems > Drop Handlebars | Jenson USA nice but expensive

That's really about all I've found that's close to what I'm looking for, Scrod do you have any suggestions?

It will be much too small.

3T Rotundo has a nice round drop similar to that of track drops but also has a nice flat top section. Deda Speciale is also similar in shape but only comes in silver.

Hey Scrod, I'm new to these parts and I don't know where else to find an answer to these questions.
