  • 54-14 brakeless, no tape, frame far too small for rider, terrible cranks, terrible pedals, also i have noidea what the frame was built for with those clearances and drilled bottleholes?

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...

    A ding in the top tube.

  • from the sales thread gone bad.. still going..

  • New to this whole anti thing, does this count?

  • does this count?

    Is it a Cinelli Mash? Then yes, it's anti porn.

    Never seen one that didn't belong here.

  • The inevitable spoils of a popular frame.

    See Cervelo.

    coughs

    Really? While the frame is OK at best aesthetically, it must be the owners surely?

    Bikes are a bit like dogs. It's usually the owner.

  • "...Never seen one [Mash] that didn't belong here [in anti-porn]."

    While I'm personally not overwhelmingly keen on the build in question - drivetrain, saddle, bar angle and saddle to bar drop let alone the combination of sloping top tube and steerer spacers are good examples - clearly mdcc_tester is Mashist and a liar.

    So he's not a fanboy, fair enough, but obviously not every single Mash tester has ever seen belongs here; I know that, you know that and tester knows that... For shame tester, for shame.

  • every single Mash tester has ever seen belongs here

    That's what I said

  • Besides. You don't care what bikes look like.

    Obviously. :o)

  • "...not every single Mash tester has ever seen belongs here..."

    That's what I said.

  • What are you measuring? It's 43.5mm to the midline between the two road rings, which is close to the outer face of the spider thanks to the dished outer ring. That gives me ~46mm with a 4mm thick symmetric track ring, but it would be less with a thinner ring and no milling of the back of the crank.

    Typo? Surely that would reduce the chainline.

    Not trolling: got UT on the way and didn't know they could be run 1x1, being as you can't adjust the chainline via the BB.

  • Typo?

    No, the back of the crank is milled to allow a 4mm thick ring to fit, thus making the chainline 2mm outboard of the spider face. With a 3mm ring and no milling, the chainline would be 1.5mm outboard of the spider face, i.e. 0.5mm in from the set up I have. With a 4mm ring rebated by 1mm at the four spider tabs (instead of milling the crank), the chainline would be 1mm outboard of the spider face.

  • I actually do like this... :p

  • Cinelli Ant stem and brake lever on Scatto's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  • Front wheel wrong way round on wannabe 'porn' shot....

  • I'm quite interested to know how (&what) they got the brake on the scatto :/

  • Pretty sure that Corima is the right way round

  • English?

  • Small company in the States called 'Volagi'

  • Pretty sure it isn't (paging Tester!), if it is the QR is the wrong way round! See also midget stem, spacers above stem, Scatto on bike for road use, saddle angle, horribly clashing decals.... More money than sense/taste.

    Ooh, I do like a good rant!

  • I can't remember which way Corima 3-spokes are supposed to go, but just looking at the pic I'd guess it's right.

  • Cinelli Ant stem and brake lever on Scatto's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    I'm pretty sure it's Cinelli Pista 80mm stem, and they look awful with Scatto >.<

    Something just doesn't add up. I've measured the chainline countless times, from the center of the chainring teeth to the center of the seattube/downtube, also measured the diameter of the ST/DT, divided that by two and added the distance from the chainring teeth to the corresponding tubes, got 48.5-49 every single time. I'm using a symmetrical 4mm velosolo ring FWIW

    I'm quite interested to know how (&what) they got the brake on the scatto :/
    bar end lever.

  • Cheers dude, just spotted that!
