I really hate the feeling of loose/plasticky focus rings like the 1.8 has.

I know that feel, bought a Canon 1.8 50mm prime off the bay for cheaps, and the quality is reflected in the pics...so bought the Canon 1.4 prime for $300...better glass=better pics

But photography, like bikes, can quickly drain your finances.

Sick! What rims are those?

Ambrosio Prisma Elite

first ride, seems perfect

after more than a week of waiting for the straps to arrive, and long hours at work, I decided to take the V12s off my commuter and get out on the road.
Went for a 30km ride, with a backpack carrying some tools (just in case) and a camera.

first impressions...super smooth, super quiet and such a good fit...48/17 takes a bit to get going but definitely cruises nice...ok so I only did 30kms, but in 68 mins, including general red lights and such, hit a top speed of 54kms.
brand new Re-fuse on the back got a deep cut...must have been some shrapnel on the road, will keep an eye on it.
I know the MTB flats are an abomination on this frame, but I had to get a ride in today.

happy :)

yours for £9999

I see that, and raise you this:

I'd put money on that protector being exactly where the brake lever hits the top tube whilst attempting barspins after consuming far too many soy macchiato.

^ that is not going to end well

what the actual fuck?

violence is never the answer, but this puppykiller could benefit from a bit of percussive maintenance around his delusional head

need chorus brakes and tape color for my NOS frame

by my calculations, you currently have approx. eleventy billion dollars worth of bike porn in your collection...I would be jelli if you were not graciously sharing with us

but we have on purpose sticked to threaded

sticked

I think you should have sticked to using spellcheck for your response.

Anyone recommend some straight blade 1" track forks in either carbon or steel

cheap and cheerful http://allcitycycles.com/products/big_block_track_fork

on my way home from work last night, stopped at a red light and I see a hipsterSkidfixter come to the intersection from the left, waiting to turn right...he slows...goes into a trackstand...and then promptly falls over without being able to clip out.
Needless to say I thought this quite humourous, as did the people on the pub balcony that witnessed Mr Tightpants' hilarious attempt for a "like a boss" recovery to maximum cool before going straight across the now red light and past me.

the full bag

mind asking where you picked this up, very few nice big frames around

found it on ebay, I think it was a wallhanger rather than regular rider, as the paint is in extremely good condition...and it does have the nice japanese shit stamp of approval on the bb...maybe the angles look odd due to the pic

windows 7 print screen

I believe the term is "lush"

Will you be running a brake?

errr...

no

I know the general consensus about brklss, and I do run a brake on my fixed commuter, but the plan for this is minimal hill action
