I prefer to arrive at work with some dignity intact. The people I work with don't need to know EVERYTHING about me...

If you've got it, flaunt it. If you haven't...

If you haven't, you probably race track

Anyone else?

I've just had a look at the wheelset price and am gonna have to bow out for now, bit pricey for me for now. Might just save for a couple of months and grab a set of ebay specials... Sorry!

I'm up for buying two pairs of carbon rims, but props not for a couple of weeks. Assume this will be too late for the rest of you?

Sorry, placed my order yesterday, so probably will be here in two weeks time.

Depends what kind of "it" we are talking about... I suspect that you are talking about a lack of a certain kind of "it" - Which I'm okay with. I can assure you I am in possession of all other types of desirable "it" though :D

3K glossy, 3k matte or UD matte?

UD, always UD...

of course you are darling

personally im not impartial to a bit of glossy

Which is lightest though?

Anybody know of cheap alternatives to the Columbus Tusk straight forks?

yesterday I came across certain german handlebars on bike24 from a ww brand (cant remember which one) and the 3k bars were 167 while the ud bars were 170 or a few grams more

nevertheless: ALWAYS UD

Good job I went for 3K then

Lightweight track hubs - 50 gold shekels to whoever can source me either of these in 24h rear:

Sold under Circus Monkey (now unavailable), Newson Sportec(can't see how to buy them and now not on eBay) and Tensile (28/32h only).

Alternatively:

Ridea - sold by BLB

Ridea looks an awful lot like these

Similar, but I think there must be a difference in the axle, if the 210g claimed weight is correct.

I have another similar hub already:
