looking into it, I supose you could make the same comparison between Hope and Chris King. . .

Although, it looks like the Phil's are completely forged, eyelets included, the goldtecs look to be machined.

Unxetas, good points, but both these hubs (goldtecs + phils) would fall into your "ridiculously priced" category, as the Goldtecs are made in the UK.

I think he Goldtecs are definitely on the cards in the near future (when they're available again - anyone wanna buy an alll black, cartridge wheel set? :)

does anyone know if goldtecs are available in the US, i wonder if they have any kind of a rep over there?

unxetas price? mirror finish?

:D

price - yep, there's is sure a big diference there

mirror finish? - true, there is that as well. But for the sake of comparison, lets say a black Goldtec, and a black phil, is there realy that much of a diference for the money, or is it just so you can say "I have the most expensive equipment on my bike"?

. . .just wondering what y'all think, why are Phil Wood hubs, supposedly better than Goldtec?

Both hubs seem to be the sh1t, but what makes one better than the other???

I've been riding mtbs, seriously I would say for the last 15yrs, about half my life! Mountain biking has always been a big part of my life. only just got inti fixed a couple of months though.

What bike have you bought? Sounds like you got a good one!

PIP, you da man!!

The blurb on the site says "Fits Campagnolo and Miche standard track chainsets.Black as standard." . . . Is the fitting any different to a Sugino? I don't think think so but I'll but the question out!

[cite]My Thomson is just a bit ugly even if it does the job perfectly.

David, what thomson have you got? I've got an Elite and think it looks well on the bike. Sure its a little bit fatter than yr average stem but its so stiff. But the big plus was that it has very clean lines on the back, ie. no bolts on the back

as above, do you know of any?

cheers!

that would be a good one to put on youtube!

I was more thnking on microcracks developing within the fork, track stand, riding backwards then POWW/CRACK/BANG (or whatever sound they'd make)

probably just thinking into it too much!

its starting to sound reassuring then, so no-one has ever seen / heard of / experienced "exploding" carbon forks then?

("no" is obviously the answer i'm looking for here. . . :)

haha! I've been wanting to learn to do it for a long time, and now I can! Additional bike skills are never a bad thing!

reverendmark [quote]redeye have been practicing riding backwards, circles etc.

Are you a clown?[/quote]

No

Hey! It's good to be here again!

Ok, question. . . I have carbon forks on my bike, and have been practicing riding backwards, circles etc. I found that it is much easier to do it standing with yr weight over the front wheel.Also, whilst dialing it all in, I've had a couple of instances where the fork has been turned to a right angle to the frame, and as you're pedaling backwards has been pulled the wheel back at this angle causing the fork andwheel to "judder" (is that a word?)

Anyway, was just wondering what people thought of carbon forks for this type of riding. I'm not treating the bike like a mtb and I respect its limitatons (i've been riding/racing mtbs for over 15yrs) but what kind of punishment can these forks take?

Cheers all!

She is definately very, very fine. . .

photoben You seen the rest of the gallery? Hope she doesn't go riding in those Jimmy Choos...

no, where is it??

sorry to dissapoint you all. . .

. . . 4th post from the bottom!!

BIG PROPER REASON: imagine what they´ll look like after a few months :) pretty shabby i reckon. Would be nice for the first couple of weeks tho!

Can't you find out where they were dumped? would be like a treasure hunt with a pot of gold at the end!

Yeah, I'm living in Bcn and these bicing bikes are pretty cool. I signed up for it last month and it cost me 6€ a year!! Thats like 30p a month!

have you tried the classified papers in your area or the tip?

Most people just want to get rid of these type of old road bikes to make room in their garage. Ask around too, see if anyone knows of any of these bikes you can take off their hands

I've been using one (virtually) every day for the last 3years (the Ultimate with X-strap) and it's a great bag. If I'm gonna be picky, its quite a heavy one, and the velcro doesn't seem as tough as it used to be, but it is one tough bag, and one i'd highly recommend. Any question I can answer about them, ask away.

Cheers!

I know they´re not 75s on the Flyer. I remember from looking lastnight, that RD was stamped on the back, and they did look pretty roughly finished in the hidden areas. Hhhmmmmmmm........

How can you tell which are the Comps? I have suginos on my Flyer. What are the markings to look out for?

all joking aside, this here has to be one of the best tricks I've seen done on a fixed gear bike. . .

You'd definitely be the bad boy in town if you could pull any of these of down yr local high street
