Birmingham Trades & Sales

Is the Willier Pista too relaxed?

I quite like them.
But it would also be awesome just to have a bike with your name on it

For SALE - any decent offer gets it.

Marin palisades trail, real nice 90's USA made aluminium MTB frame. 19" seat tube, 22.5" top tube. Very light and comfortable. Has one fault, which is that the seat clamp area has snapped off, user error by former owner. I filed it down AND got the seatube reamed, it works fine with an external seatclamp. There is no reason for it to interfere with the the structural inegrity of the frame.

You will get frame & forks, headset, a stem. seatpost and saddle, STX chainset (cross threaded pedal).

You know what Void. I'm not so sure.
In the last year, I can honestly say I'd Rather have tackled hills fixed. I work better with one gear, and have ridden some long rides without even shifting gears...
I really want something bespoke, and specific to my weird anatomical measurement.

You want broader range of gears, like mtb's have right? Not so close-range. This is what ive always noticed when ive tried to stick with geared. Road/racing bikes are geared up high and with very small gaps. Makes it hardly worth changing gear and distrupting your flow. And yet, when you really want a big jump down when at a fuck steep hill, you run out of gears!

Stick a long cage mech and MTB cassette on.

fuck what twat butchered that classic?

Ha! Just bad grammar!

But 4 cross is racing, and racing which is very similar to BMX (a singlespeed sport!) thats why they use road cassettes.

If you are racing on your road bike particularly short races, having very close and high gears makes sense.

Forum26, where you can't even sell stuff without it becoming a trainwreck argument.
I wish I didn't love it so much, normally I get bored of things within a few months but this place is comedy gold every day.
