• Summer whip is finally finished, way behind the schedule.

    After two years of riding only with 15cm stem now, 13cm feels 'crazy snappy' while turning.

    There some questions remaining like:
    -What the hell is this frame? Plieger is a bike shop, and so far this bike is the only Plieger bike I've seen ever. Tubing is extremely thin, so far I've seen these thin tubes only on some post TdF bike that somehow ended up in the bike shop I've worked at.
    -This carbon fork feels kind of wobbly while turning. I think it might be one of these infamous Helix forks, are those fuckers safe?

  • That would be funny as I have a road Principia and I love it so I was looking for a track Principia. I found one for cheap and received the frame with a crack on the head tube, luckily fully refunded. After that I've gave up on track Principas as the they were too expensive so that would be wonderful if it's a frame made by Principia manufacturer.

    The bike was 6,8 kg with tubular wheels so I can assume that it could be some better sort of frame.

    This purchase was full of surprises too. The original fork was listed as carbon, because it doesn't attract magnets, but was full alloy. The tubs on the original wheels weren't glued correctly so it fell off as soon as it got flat.
