They recently repaved a hilly section of road by me, and man does it feel good. I wish all roads were like riding on glass

damn, i could live here so hard.

what frame bag? looks good on that beik

also, this:

I spent a lot of time in z4 today. Here are some pictures.

i give up. [MENTION=206561]Jandro[/MENTION]

to be completely honest i have no idea. my dad dug some pos mountain dew bike out of someones trash that didnt fit him, and that was on it.
im assuming it used to be nuclear zombie green because the inside of it is still that color but the outside is all faded into that nice pastel

i finally did one of these:

also found an appropriate time to use the kelvin filter on the instagram machine, 94F

Where is this?

ftfy

lol @ actual conversion^

lambertville, nj

Today on my century:

Looks great! Where is that? Metric or standard century?

Rad. Definitely a good time to use Kelvin.

Pushin' a 32x21 33# bike up to 13,000' hurts.

dig in!

Spent some quality time with some close family in Ithaca. Brought the singlespeed baby mover in hopes of getting a chill ride in with my kid, ended up going out while he was napping and getting some twisty hills on with the missus and some cousins.
Note to self: gears on the next baby mover.

Ithaca sure is purty though. Took one last panoramic on our way out, bieks packed up.

Yesterday I started the conversion of my 1988 Cannondale SR500 Team Crest from shimano 105 1050 (black) series to Shimano 105 5700 (black) series. Does anyone else have to fully set up a bike the second a new part comes in, even though in about 6 days you have to redo everything when the next part comes in? Anyway I then took it for a 40 mile test spin in the Kansas 100 degree heat with 22-25mph wind. The final build plan for the bike is : 105 5700 series, cranks, derailleurs, brake calipers. Im keeping the down tube shifters but will switch them to black. Im then switching out the wheel set to something that is just very functional and affordable like Shimano RS20 black. I am then adding a Thomson seat post and a Fizik Antares Versus. Lastly I have an extra stem that Im powder coating black just to balance out the bike. Right now it looks a little strange but im 100% sure it will be amazing when done. (I wont post again until shes complete I know you guys hate that haha)

Go big or go home.....
go with 5700 ****ters instead of down tube....you'll thank me.

Metric Century.

It's out between Canada road and Sand Hill Rd.

Thats the biggest debate ive had with the build. I sold off my modern bikes last year and have been on down tubes for a year now. Im just really used to it now. Also I dont really like the way the cable routing looks when converting from down tubes. We will see though.

Cable routing?
it looks the same as when the bike came with sti's......the shifters will come with downtube bosses like so..

Yeah I just think it looks weird, idk why aesthetically it just bugs me. Most modern bikes route the cable lower beneath the down tube. Not to mention internal routing. Just feel its a cleaner look with the down tubes.

its exactly the same as when you got dt shifters except you got 2 more pieces of housing comin from the bars

jeebus
That cabin looks rad.

Richpool, I would keep the DT shifters. I'm assuming your bike is 6 speed, if that is the case I would change to 7 or even 8 if possible (you probably have a freewheel so a new wheel would be in order, although 6 speed Uniglide does exist). 7 speed index shifters can be had but 8 speed DTs not so much. Friction 8 speed is easy though.

Here's a pic from this weekend in ATL. Wet, humid but not too hot

Built in 1921 by Frank Ecklund (1874-1941) of Georgetown, CO.
Sits at 11,500'-ish, and is used mainly by back-country skiers.

Usually a steep HaB up a crik, or descend from the tundra above (which we did this time).
