  • none of it.

  • one of the 1st carbon monocoque frames ever, designed in partnership with Ferrari

    Oh, so its special ugly? Cool story bro.

  • Pow!

  • Let me guess - its a Nag so its instantly awesome.
    Seriously plain looking bike right there

  • He has the same radio as me, he/she has taste!

  • Let me guess - its a Nag so its instantly awesome.

    yes. your second sentence is automatically invalid.
    deal with it.

  • Baaaaaa
    lol

    Seriously though, it's a Nag - get over it

    "This is porn - it needs to look good"

  • Repost?

    ?

  • Pow!

    i want this

  • Huh?

    Hm?

    I understand if none of what I wrote makes sense to you, but if only part of it has not been grokked, I'd be happy to clarify.

    Usonian = US - I resent "american" being used to designate that country. The Americas consist of land to the north and south of that place, too. Also, that term came from one of their own.

    UTS

    Canadian?

  • Canadian?

    Likely, sounds insecure and whiny.

  • *that *chainring on the black and yellow BMC.

    is it ovoid ? why ? does that make pushing up 130 km long very steep hills easier ?

    i demand to be educated......

    It puts an effective higher gear in the power sections of the pedal stroke, and a lower one in the dead sections. So the 50T ring acts more like a 51/52, when stepping down/up, and like a 48/49 when pushing forwards/backwards. Its meant to reduce fatigue, by shifting more of the work load to bigger muscles.

    After a single 30km ride, my thoughts are.....

    Its barely noticable while cruising on the flats, but does seem to work against the 'circles' technique, fixed riding has taught me, slightly. But I'm sre I'll get used to them.

    It feels feels good when sprinting, and climbing. When my technique is most stressed.

    I cant comment on the fatigue thing obviously.

    No, but it makes it easier to fleece punters for £120 when round chainrings of similar quality are about ⅓ of that price.

    This^

    In the same way you're better off losing body fat, than buying lightweight cables and bolts. I guess you're better off working on a fluid technique then just forking out for these. Although maybe the fatigue reduction is real. TBH I need to put more kms on them.

    I liked them though. But then I'm the sort of twat that buys lightweight cables and bolts.

    (Paid half the RRP on spanish EBay BTW)

  • nuknow - that Merckx is a repost

    By the way - the steel Colnago is porn - even if it's got a triple and even if it's got an ugly saddle. The paintwork is awesome and it's in unbelievable condition - I'd take it in a second.

  • i don't its old, stupidly over priced and bear anti

    im having a hard time trying to imagine what would happen with chain tension on a fixed?

    I'd give it to my dad. It's got a triple and high set bars, it's a perfect good gents bike.


  • One day I will change that stem.

    I'd imagine you couldn't use it on a fixed? Put the chain tension in when the cranks are horizontal (or vertical - whatever, when the 'flat' bit is at the top / bottom of the ring), then it would tighten as the ovoid bit came up...

    One day I will change my ways and read the rules of the thread.

  • Mash is fucking horrendous

  • ^this
