  • RE?

  • Handlebars on that Motto >>>>>>>>

    and, whilst I'm at it, rear wheel >>>>>>>>>>>>> wrong build for it

  • normally i just wouldnt want a yellow frame. but this looks fuckin ace.

  • If you stuck B125's or risers on the motta it would be perfection (IMO)
    other than the frame I particularly like the stem, kashimax(?) and monster chainring

  • It's all about the resulting trail. A measurement taken between the tire contact point and the intersection of the steering tube axis with the ground.
    Generally speaking high HT angle + high rake = low trail = "fast" or "twitchy" steering.
    This makes for an awesome handling experience and best suited for low speeds as it can get unstable at higher speeds where steering input is amplified.
    This is why Triathlon/TT bikes, and MTB's have slacker HT angles and lower rake, to make them more stable.
    Road bikes have a "mid-trail" which is a compromise between stability and handling, so do track bikes but with a steeper HT and lower rake.

    quoted, so that everyone can see that one can explain things without being a cunt:)

    wut? yellow bikes are rad, fact.

    that look is particularly awesome tho

  • my old pinarello

  • That yellow LOOK is actually perfect.

  • This page is looking good so far, that Pinarello looks lovely! Why would you get rid of it?

  • The angles on the bridgestone still look all wrong to me.

    don't worry, maddy is on the case!

    yeah looks almost like a peloton. still gorgeous mind.

  • Any idea what frame is that ^^^ ? With a little work and another saddle, stem and grips, would look rather nice IMO.

  • It's a Leader no? Fucking horrible frame

    That Pina is awesome.

    • You'd have to lose tractor tyres & steerer spacers too - you wouldn't be left with much of the build then....
  • It's a Leader no? Fucking horrible frame

    For £170 I think the 722 is pretty awesome

  • alternative? answers other than 'anything else' would be constructive (",)

  • ^^^ Red Pinarello up there is nigh on perfection in my book

    Funny...that is quite a stack...possibly a HHSB record

  • It's a Leader no? Fucking horrible frame

    tell that to Spotter, I think his Leader is fucking brilliant.

  • yeah looks almost like a peloton

    Ahem! What's that supposed to mean, sir?

    Pretty sure my Peloton has pretty standard geo for a keirin frame.
