does anyone have a nifty online tool to work out GI equivalent range for geared bikes?

this one works fine?

I always use that one ^ does hub gears, different size wheels, different size tyres...

perfect!

first post in this thread, making slow progress on pantographing the resprayed vivalo but I'm pleased so far.

Right place, right time.

This is all.

And a camera phone.
And a steady hand.
And there's probably more.

surely thats cheating

he clearly has a brick, and theres nadda wrong with that

Shot of the Colnago covered in muck, awaiting a clean after the Easter Classic.

Ultegra, ATACs, saddle pack, hipster cysts, excess steerer, oversize stem on 1" forks, in the small ring... should wind a few people up. ;)

Handles superbly. Didn't get close to its limits in the nasty weather.

I'm just happy

I like it.

A Ritchey WCS stem in wet black might look visually better than the 3t. Also they're not too pricey and fairly light.

Also if you get one that's got a drop rather than 0 degree, it'd give you a straight line stem and allow you to pop a spacer or two under the stem to even out the proportions.

But that's all just aesthetics really.

MOAR! Start your own CP thread!

Yeah, the stem just doesn't match it visually at all, although it is a -6° (I think the angle of the photo is a bit misleading). Tempted to get the 'black series' version of the same stem, although after coughing up for the chainset, this bike is getting a bit spendy.

It maybe ought to have an inline post as well, the saddle feels like it's a tiny fraction too far back but the clamp is at the edge of the knurled section of the saddle rails.

I'd Nitromors the red printed area of the stem, using masking tape over the other graphics.

I find the Atacs on the Colnago to be the most offensive BTW.

I'm over it.

It needs the black series.

But looks great. :)
