Current Projects chat and miscellany

I'd like to know more too.

I'm saving for my 1st modern roadbike, and I'm pretty sold on the entry level Boardman just on value really. The reviews have been pretty amazing and the one I rode was way nicer than a Bianchi for the same money* (I hate Sora)*.

Any tricks for quickly checking alignment in the shop?

String. something to do with string. I think you tie it round one dropout, wrap it round the head tube, then hold it tight round the other, and then look at the string in relation to the seat tube. An equal gap between the string and the tube on each side means the alignment is good.

Or something?
