  • in other news i cant decided if this wheel is awful or a must have...

    How many front spoks you gonna collect? You know you can only use one at a time, right? Starting to look like @BigH!

  • As of now im up to 3 fronts. but if I buy this one I can have spengles on the front of both bikes at the same time... so theres that... but the blue is fucking terrible. Also i dont really want my SpecialHed any more, so reasons? Logic?? Justifications??? Realistically I have a specialized trispoke thats really niced up and a meh hed disc converted to track for sale.

  • You can technically use 2 at a time ;-)

  • So summer build has become a fall build. Thanks to @c4shr I have bought a replacement frame for the wierdest scam ever (Paypal taking forever to pay me back for the first) so build is back on. Now will be building off of one of the earlier, and arguably better looking versions, but as it is matt black frame build has all gone a lil stealth on me. (frame will eventually as always planned be getting a strip and repaint in the future) Have to get rear wheel built now that build is back on, chainring still needs strip and paint, and need some odds and ends now that the frame selection has changed.

  • So updated build is as follows:
    *Frame: Capo optimo black 56

    *Front wheel: Xentis mk1 Clincher gp4000

    *Rear wheel: MAvic MA40 clincher, BLB black mamba for SKIDZ

    *Cockpit: Salsa, Risers, Paul lever, Custom Merika grips

    *Creankset: Crankbros bb, Fsa vigorella track, chainring still needs strip and splatter

    *Saddle: Slr, post carbon wrapped cannondale c3, pedals unknown, front brake unknown

  • dibs frame if you ever sell (and it stays black and ratty). mean it.

  • where did you get the american style hockey tape? really need some...
    cheers
    Will

  • do you have the link or site?

  • eBay, I just searched "flag hockey tape"

  • Anyone had one of testers lowstack headset covers on these? What's the size?

  • If you have calipers you can measure based on this

    I believe it's the same as the caad9 - 46x2 - which is discussed somewhere in Tester's thread. Just tricky to find.

  • Frame is in the mail. Just trying to order while it's on the way

  • Well if you want to gamble 46x2 is the best bet based on what I know.

    If you know anyone with a CAAD6-9 get them to measure for you.

  • Probably just wait

  • Frame is officially on the way.

    New spoke acquired

    (Sorry to anyone else trying to buy this one, seller sent me a shipping price and a paypal address and I paid)

    This one will be getting shifted to my wife's mini hhsb bike assuming we can find a 700c frame that fits

  • Wait what? I thought the other german guy from the disc radness thread got this? Perfect match for your ugly blue spengle :)
    p.s. dibs if you sell ;)

  • blue spengle was actually same seller but sold before i heard from him. No swoopage took place I guess he just saw my email first.

  • Mh, that's odd. He didn't even reply to my message but that's alright, I don't even have a bike for the wheel atm and you as a Spengle fanboy can probably appreciate it more than me :)

  • This one is for the wife. She wants a "cool bike" with "fancy wheels" to commute to her new job

  • It doesn't get much fancier than dat yellow!

  • Frame set is delivered, hoping to unbox tomorrow and build it up Monday night

  • Potential: still need to swap bottom brackets, replace headset, slam stem and clean up some more.

  • Potential indeed, not a huge fan of the 'mark 1' sticker on that xentis tho...

  • If you are still selling a front Specialized please send me a PM! Ta.
