what stem and bars?

thanks everyone.

well, we're talking about low-flange here.

low flange 28h 2x rear, low flange 28h radial front

built by someone with 30 years under their belt...

ive come across an excellent deal on a wheelset.

one concern. the front is a low flange hub laced radially. will this be a problem?

hub is miche. spokes are phil wood.

thanks

I ask about the braking surface because I saw this: http://www.velobase.com/ViewSingleComponent.aspx?ID=1E63CC16-E909-40BC-9E1E-CF2E68E3062E&Enum=107&AbsPos=4

but then I see many bikes with brakes & those particular rims:

so is this velobase guy an idiot?

wolber profil 18 or 20. good? flat enough surface for braking?

ok. thanks for your input.

are there any more shots of the derosa frames?

I think taking off my d lock first before disengaging the alarm would be enough motion to set it off. I know I'd forget all the time to disengage first.

yes. are you?

seems like they'd go off accidentally, no?

do those go off when you unlock? or in your bag while riding?

Dooks, Sammy has a point regarding the track-ends/mudguards combo. That's what I have and in order to take the wheel out I have to deflate it completely. Not the end of the world but worth considering nonetheless. + 1 for The Condor Tempo, you can get custom paint job for £££ extra.

Track ends with mudgards is shit if you get a puncture, you can't pull the wheel out.

If you rig up the rear mudguard with a spring, this is not an issue.

I would only consider these if I knew I could achieve the proper torque. can you?

dual cross levers on track drops with track grips makes my brain hurt. cognitive dissonance.

my opinion is that helmet lights are both good and bad. good for reasons that commie explains, but bad if you were to ever crash. I think they would cause a bit more damage to your head.

personally, I'd rather sacrifice the ability to shine light directly at cars than have a light slice my scalp or crack my skull. whether nor not this would actually happen, I have no idea. I'd rather not take the chance and I'd rather trust helmet manufacturers and government regulators when they recommend cyclists not attach lights to their helmets.

I am quite familiar with deda elementi tape, but as far as I know, elementi does not come in a two-tone. so, again, which deda tape is pictured?

what deda tape is that?

I currently am running a Sugino RD chainset that sits at 45mm with a 103 bb. If I put the chainring on the inside of the spider, the chainring grazes the chainstay. I figure I need a 3mm spacer on the rear hub for a straight chainline since the rear wheel seems to be about 42mm.

how exactly would one install a spacer on a rear hub? I have never done this before nor have I seen firsthand anyone else do it. what is the process? thanks.
