I have to say, under Scrod's crusty exterior he must be a nice guy, cause this is one of the most helpful threads on the interwebz. Kudos.

Scrod, I 'm looking to purchase the SRAM S300 crankset with GXP BB from Retro-gression and wanted to make sure that I have the proper tools to install the GXP BB. Will the standard BBT-22 from Park Tool install this ok, or do I need to be looking at something else?

You'll need the Park BB-19 or BB-19.2

What could possibly have driven someone to display that font so prominently on the down-tube?

I have no idea but I hate it. It reminds me of professional wrestling.

The worst part is it looks like they're using it on the other color-way being released this year.
The only picture I could find was a weird shot on Cinelli's website (in the gallery for the caleido). But I saw the font. God, that font...

Hey,Scrod what is your opinion on the new 2015 cinelli Histogram. I fall in love with every cinelli I see in person, but think they are overpriced. Is it worth the extra cash.

Regardless of my opinion, it's "worth" whatever people will pay to have it. Cinelli has decided that amount is $949. It being worth it to you depends on whether or not you'd pay that much.

Scrod, any 17t 1/8" EAI Deluxe cogs? The site skips 17t so I'm wondering if you are out of stock?

Scrod what would you do with this?
It started as a 21 speed hybrid and I ride it on everything from rice paddy trails to the national road
It was a Japanese bike called Maxwell
I stripped and painted the frame, stripped off the gear changing stuff and made it a SS, respoked the wheels and rebuilt the hubs, turned a freewheel derailleur hub into a SS with a freewheel cog. The tires I brought from the States last time I was there, some Continental TourGuard Pluses 700c x42, took off the cheap OEM cantis and put on some Shimano LX Cantis with some Shimano LX levers, Giant grips and plain jane 690mm bars with a Giant seat. It is running 53x14 with a KMC chain, no name crank and freewheel and Grunge pedals. Cost me a total of $300

If it were mine I probably would've made it a 1x7 out of it just for fun.
It's cool as a single speed, though. Ride the hell out of it.

Laugh all you want, you still can't seem to figure out how to use Google yourself.
