Nice. I got a 15t in the rear.
Right now im using the stock 48t chainring that came with my ominums, which is a little low. Ill keep it until I get to the B's and then get a 50 or 51t. |

I built this bike up from a second-hand frame; Dura-Ace hubs 32/28, HED C2 rims, Omnium cranks 165, Thomson seatpost and stem, Fizik saddle, Ritchey road bars, Vittoria Corsa Evo Cx's. Stem rise and shallow drops for my old neck. And to be able to ride without looking OVER my glasses.
Yesterday was my third session on the track, after 2 previous classes; my first time alone, just doing laps, some accelerations, getting a feel for it. I ended up riding 42 km. At the first class, I completely wore myself out going too fast all the time, simply because I didn't know how slowly I could ride without falling off the bank. I brought my computer with me to the second session and right away was able to relax, feeling the easier speed, able to accelerate appropriately. This third time, I just wanted to get more of the feeling of the track into my bones.... http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=276287 |

Alloy Langster - Brakes because, being youth and youth training on road bikes at my track I use s/s and brakes :(
Fondriest - Me and Dad's shared racing bike :D I've come to realise these aren't as nice and light as above, but atleast I can use mine for commuting too I guess |

I cleaned up lots of street FG chatter to try and keep the signal/noise ratio high in this thread (and forum).

I dare you to post that under an alias account in the SS/FG pics thread.
"FIX UR SETBACK AND BAR SETUPP!!" I'm very jelly of that bike. I'd love to try riding something like that some day just to see what it's like. Hahaha, thanks! It would be an awful daily ride. It's really stiff and has an aggressive geometry. Not comfortable for more than a few minutes at a time. |
