Not sure why people get upset about someone's bike and the parts thereon. Its not to my taste. But if he wants a Mavic Io on his bike let him get on with it. We are all hipster twatts in someone else eyes. So live a let live, and get on with the ride.
I have to agree, once you have spent a few months with renal cancer or dealing with parents who have had strokes it seems a bad waste of good energy for people get themselves erect about someone else's bicycle, regardless of what colour scheme, how much money, what saddle angle, handle bar height or spoke count they are/are not running.
I must have had some of my biggest arguments on this site with people incandescent with indignation because they have seen someone riding a bike with a build that fails (or exceeds) their own sensibilities/morals.
It's just bikes, I love it that this bloke has stuck an expensive track wheel on his street bike, he seems to be into bikes, not such a bad place to be if you can stick the cloud of internet hatred.

agreed. i don't think jealousy is it though. i think people just get agitated when they think other people are fucking with their precious hobby. It is ridiculous to use that wheel (i maintain that he is a trendy sucker) but it's all good clean fun. I'd rather be throwing money at shiny metal than sniffing it off a toilet seat. This guy is a rebel of gargantuan proportions within bicycle geek circles, but outside of that he's just another guy with too much time on his hands like us. good luck to him.

i'm sure that this isn't for most of you and I hated this frame when I first saw it, but built up like this I think it's kinda nice
I bet it'd be a joy to mess about on. The drop-outs are going to be a bit annoying, but then again some people fuck about with eccentric hubs and such on frames with no drop at all, so whatevs.

the worse thing is, the Mavic wheel as far as I know, only come in tub.
imaging that!!Would anyone want to get a £2000+ track specific front wheel as a clincher?
That wheel is p0rn, just not on that bike...

Hippy on all fours?
so your saying this is too tight?
because mine is similar to that majority of the time, except for when it gets yanked too far forward
