Cool. Just ordered the soma bars. going to switch from the pursuit bars to these. thinking of going for more traditional look with my SS.

....now to find some brake levers.

Thanks Scrod! Will get smaller tires going forward. As for wheelset, I am not looking for anything specific or overly light, but rather durable and sub $400. Don't care about the look, as long as they stay true and are able to take 200lb sitting a top of them.

Which BB would you recommend to pair with Ominums for a longer lasting effect?

Again, cheers!

It's an often overlooked option but the Aventon LA30 wheelset is a really good track wheelset for the money (think Mavic Ellipse at half the price). They're light, strong, aero and the hubs are great (unlike Ellipses). The logos come off easily with acetone too if they cramp your style.

In my opinion the Phil Wood GXP BB is the best one on the market.

Oi Scrod.
Those Dura Ace hubs you sold me came with little seals in a bag. Does this mean my hubs do not have seals?
Do you recommend installing them?
These bikes are going to be stored in my living room and will never be ridden on the road.

Paz y amor, hermano-cosmico.

Those are extras in case they need to be replaced when you service your hubs.

Man, if the rims were a little wider I'd have to get a set of these.

Except I am considering them as the sizing is fine for my needs. I have been looking for a light weight set and these are hard to beat for the price. [MENTION=164476]Scrodzilla[/MENTION] - is there a weight limit? I am a large man (195-205 depending on season and gumption) and worry about constant truing.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you kind sir!
Now we just need them to finish resurfacing our drome. Gonna be a great Spring!

Scrod, can you tell me how much a Bareknuckle frame set weighs? I think I want one for my next bike.

4-4.5 lbs, depending on the size.

Probably an obscene question.

Going to be getting an All City Natureboy Disc frameset to build up. I've got some 75s at my disposal, and am tossing around the idea of running it fixed. With the Surly Ultra New fixed disc hub the chainline comes to 53.5mm, whereas the 75s on a 109mm BB come to 42mm. If my math checks out, I'd need a 132mm BB in order to use them.

Is this even a feasible thing to try? Common sense is telling me no and I wouldn't be heartbroken, more just wondering if it's even a possibility.

Doubling on this question, will 75s actually work on a NB Disc? I know they'll fit on the 120 spaced NB, but have no idea if there's enough chainstay clearance for them on the disc version. If there is, I'll probably do SS with them and use a standard mtb freehub wheel to get the correct chainline.

That's super! I have most of the parts collected for it, and I weighed them at about 10.8 lbs, which means the complete bike might come in below 17. Just need to get a seatpost, headset, and bar wrap. And the frame, of course... as soon as I can pull in some more dough.

The new NB's are all 130, disc or canti. Were the very first ones 120?

I would also happily rock one fixed.

I believe the first ones were at the very least.

this is not true. the rear spacing on the disc is 135mm and always has been. the rear on the rim brake NB has always been 130mm. all city makes 130mm spaced track hubs.

good luck with that...

Went and took a new rider class a my local velodrome and was immediately hooked. Needless to say, I need a new bike now. Wanting to get a light and stiff aluminum frame to go along with my Fuji Feather for around town. Looking to buy a complete bike and swap my Omniums over to actually get the benefits out of them. Considering buying an Aventon model bike since it won't break the bank. Any opinions on the new versus old style Cordoba? I've heard the older model is actually stiffer with the way the seat stays meet the seat tube lower.

Also, I rode a 56cm Windsor The Hour for the class, and it felt huge. My current bike is a 54, but I'm sporting risers on it. Should I be looking at getting a 52 or a 55?

Word. I just knew they weren't 120.

Where will you be finding a bottom bracket having a 132mm ISO spindle?

Mark Ainslie came by the shop a few times last week and gave us an update. Supposedly the new contractor is doing a really good job and it will be finished in time for track season.

I took one for a ride when we first got them and the new cordoba LTD feels stiffer. Less flex near the BB shell because of the new outward-flaring seat tube.

I can't realistically recommend a size over the internet. If your current bike fits you, compare the Aventon geo chart to your top tube length. If not, use a fit calculator.

Haven't been on here in a long time, and didn't see anything via search function (sorry if it's been asked).

Does the 2017 Vigorelli come drilled for a front fork? And do you know when the release/street dates for them are?

Drilled and plugged, Like all Cinelli carbon track forks.

According to the ETA we got when the shop pre-ordered them, they were supposed to be here two weeks ago. I'm sure they'll be along soon.

Well, Phil Wood offers ISO spindles in 130mm and 135mm lengths. And the Phil mounting system allows several millimeters of lateral adjustment. So, if the OP is willing to cough up the $$$ for Phil Wood, it could be done…
