Must go up a lot in larger sizes, or that 3000 includes a heavy HS and BB or something, or LOOK is totally lying on their site:

  • FRAME WEIGHT 1,800 G IN SIZE S390 G
  • FORK WEIGHT 390 G

There's no way that fork is 390g, unless it's some magic steel or something.

An Easton EC90 full carbon fork is like 330g, and this is all steel

Fork is filled with helium. Great way to save grams.

Need to play with my saddle height. 73cm was too high, brought it down a little bit, and it slipped down to 70cm on my commute home, which was a little too low. Now its at 72cm. It seems fine so far, but I need to put some miles on it.

Rear wheel on my bmx is already warped.

Guess I'm shredding too much gnar.

What's your saddle to bar length? Our saddle heights are nearly identical.

55cm to the center of the bars from the tip of the saddle, 53cm to the closest edge. Not too long, I'm only running a 110 right now.

Some people might prefer a horizontal top tube and 120mm rear spacing.

Actually, that place seems to be pretty popular. Everytime I wear their tshirt, some random person comes up to me and tells me that shop is awesome.

What lacing pattern is that? It looked odd to me in the pics? It could just be the pics, but it also looked like the valve didn't line up with the "straight" pair.

I'm so confused. SpeshulEd is in AZ, Franswa is in TX, but you guys met in Frisco?

There's just a bunch of bike/coffee shops in SF, which is what Nagrom was referring to, but I think the one Franswa was at was in Tx

cali_axela 07-16-15 12:02 PM

There are a couple pretty good ones in SF, but the coolest one is in Oakland, Bicycle Coffee.

franswa 07-16-15 12:12 PM

Haha yeah, Ed was in Austin for a music festival.

franswa 07-16-15 12:18 PM

Fun fact: Special Ed's 'Legal' was the first compact disc I ever purchased.

I still rock that album from time to time.

SpeshulEd 07-16-15 03:05 PM

Lol, that album is a hoot.

There are not very many 24" inch rims made.
