Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

43.5 here and 56cm top tubes, life is great in the used market but horrible for clearance items.

Yep, totally feel you. I'm a 43.5 shoe/55-56cm top tube.

So hard to find good shoe deals....sometimes wished I had 38 shoe size.

Just picked up a pair of these a few months back...crazy good deal. It's one of the top of the line Shimano's from last year (carbon sole/buckle) for less than $60
43.5 only

a little late to the top cap game, but ordered a donut top cap for the hell of it too.



mine started tearing because i looked at it wrong, so i also got another set of cinelli cork tape.

Have some of their stuff already but this is the first Nth Series jersey and it is probably my new favorite. Really high end, super nice.

Didn't "buy" really, but SRAM just sent me 2 brand new chains as a warranty exchange for the crap chainring bolts in my S200 crankset.

They sent me a PC 1091R ten-speed chain, and a PC 1 Nickel SS chain. $60 in new chains ain't bad for bad chainring bolts!

A new rear Formula track hub to replace the used one I thought I could fix with new bearings. Meh. At least I got my front wheel built and it looks awesome-sauce.

Except that the PC 1 is total crap. I wouldn't use one even if I got it for free like you did.

The faux satin PBR cape was probably the best thing in the box. I can't wait to embarrass my kids by wearing it around the neighborhood.

Some bells from Retrogression. I figured no Venge hybrid could go without a bell. Scrod said the brass ones sound better, I totally agree, so it goes on my commuter. And, that is a loaner stem cap on the Venge, waiting for a Ritchey cap.
