Don't want to cut it until after I get a pro fitting done. I don't have the money for it right now, though. It doesn't bother me; it has no affect on the performance, from what I can tell.

Raised bars are nice too

Would you be allowed to race with that bit of steerer sticking up? I thought they frowned on unnecessary bits you can catch yourself on.

Crazy bikes in this section! I'm in love!@#!@#!@

Yeah, it's not a problem. I don't know about in the higher level track racing realm; maybe there is a restriction to how much you have above your stem.

The very reason why I'll leave 10mm of spacers above the stem after the pro fitting determines my optimum stem position. I like being able to have the option of running a higher bar position with risers or some other comfort oriented bars, when not racing.

Nice Langster. Was thinking of getting one of the new ones. Does it ride any different then the old one?

Here is mine with updated bits:

PRO stem
Romin Saddle
Scott CR1 full carbon fork
DT RWS skewers




Cynical/Chris - Your CX bike looks great!

i gotta find it first. its somewhere in a pile of meh parts

Thanks. Is that the Langster that we powdercoated? Looks rad.

Yep, same frame as we had done. I am running out of things to mess with. Its 16.5 lbs now w pedals.... My current project bike is a single speed steel, full rigid, Civilian 29'er....mmmm dirt.

Awesome. Sounds like a fun project.

Found the frame for cheap on Craigslist, just finished building up.

Lizard Skin DSP bar tape

well done

how did you wrap your risers with the bar tape? I've been looking to do this and haven't come across any instructions or videos.

It's no different you just don't go as far.

This. Exactly.

Okay, thanks! I'll give it a try when I put on my new bars.

[MENTION=325700]rocferd[/MENTION] good call on waiting till you've done the pro fit.
Speaking of stem spacers, I found another 2010 brushed aluminum capo. Sadly the frame is a 58cm, so I'm using the fork from my totaled 60cm:



Rides perfectly, though the NDS crank arm is a solid 2mm closer to the chainstay than the DS. That doesn't seem right, but it's otherwise fine.

The last two bikes are superb. Nice job, gents.

FYI - Lizard Skins makes DSP grips.

Thanks, Jandro.

Installation seems so complicated, when wrapping tape is so easy.

C'mon now, it's not that complicated.

Apply double sided sticky tape, spray with windex, slide on grip, wait 5 minutes.

Double sided tape is too much work.

Plus, a normal roll of lizard skin is 38 bucks and wraps two bars easy.
