i can understand that building sheriffs with Hoshi 'Aero' is like a chair with paper legs...

why? have you tried?

that samoilov (?) is massive!

what is really MASSIVE is reach on the bar
how do you even hold those drops??

They must get some nice bruises on the forearm when they get out of the saddle.

Most kind of you.

OOF the cinelli is rather special. Anyone know what rims? Just noticed flat tyre fail...

The bike's mine and I can let you know that the rims are Ambrosio Aerodynamic Durex. About the flat tire I'm waiting for some NOS air to match the rest of the bike;). Really, the pic might be from my Tumblr and it was taken when I picked up the ride and the lack of air in a 30 year old tyre should be expected.

Make me an offer I can’t refuse!

What the tumblr says about the laser ^

Why would you want micro bmx gearing on your track bike?

because your buying it because its cool? not because its a track bike

Why would you dredge up an argument that was about 5 pages ago?

it was his bike?..

Seems an obvious answer..

fortunately its not my bike. but was intrigued by the debate.

but i like the light effect...

Needs less spokes.

needs fewer spokes.

cool

Radial spokes on a sheriff hub is (according to Campagnolo) a bad idea,
plus with so many spokes it does'nt look any good IMO.

^ With a brake maybe , but without a front brake radial spokes cannot be a problem.

Campagnolo explicitly states "no radial lacing" for sheriff track hubs, and I think even for their current track hubs.

without a front brake radial spokes cannot be a problem.

Yes they can, the stresses on the flange are distributed differently with radial spokes, that's why some manufacturers advise against it while others (e.g. DT) make specific radial versions of their hubs.
