cool bike. pink derailler cable = excellent detail.

that looks oddly like a spot in colorado that i know.

Putting tubulars on it makes it a less good winter trainer but this local dude who hangs out in a bike store sold me Rovals with tyres for $99

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Saturday, 21 January 2012 16:46 (fourteen years ago)

is that a ti quill stem?

dead precedents politics as usual (Hunt3r), Thursday, 26 January 2012 19:30 (fourteen years ago)

Not actually sure. It is Ti coloured and pretty light. I should put it through the XRF at work and find out.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:34 (fourteen years ago)

It was on eBay and it matched the Dura-ace shifters and the headset that came with the frame.

Lapierre X-Flow 412. My beloved Trek got stolen, fortunately was insured and peculiarly was allowed to pick replacement worth 137.5% of its insured value.

tiagra 10 speed, zora? a mechanic i was talking to swears it's smoother and works better than the more expensive stuff due to the cable routing.

That's the one. I didn't have the £ for a pricier bike anyhow, or the chops these days. The frame's a good fit; it's a manly bike & I'm of the female persuasion, but with a femme saddle it's comfy enough. I won't get to ride it until March now, but I'll be training hard then. I've been dragooned into riding the Dunwich Dunamo :/

Confused Turtle (Zora), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 15:18 (thirteen years ago)

DYNAMO.

Confused Turtle (Zora), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 15:18 (thirteen years ago)

No performance report, but I was sorta shocked at the plastic/stamped steel shit look of the latest ultegra brifters on mrs hunter's new ride.

it's nature that's unfair (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 15:40 (thirteen years ago)

Shimano stuff generally works great up and down the line ime, have fun zora!

suddenly go boom? you ok?

eris bueller (lukas), Thursday, 21 February 2013 23:50 (thirteen years ago)

Nah, I got hit by a car over two months ago, I just picked up the bike from the police station--apparently they store your shit when you're taken to the hospital. Now I have to get it to a bike shop for a repair/replace estimate.

Depending on how that goes I'll be back on ILTRMB asking for new bike advice, I hope!

My city ride. Bought from a dude in the valley down in LA, shipped it up to SF when I moved here. Swapped straight bars out for drops. New brakes levers/stem/saddle/seatpost/pedals, but the bronze chainring+calipers are original, same with the Suntour shifters and derailleur. This type of Suntour group has some kind of "auto-trim" function that happens when you shift front chainrings, according to Sheldon Brown.

Was tough for me to take the clips off, both for practicality and style reasons, but this is my main mode of transport and it's time for me to start wearing adult shoes sometimes.

Oh and definitely too small for me (every time I get on my road bike I'm surprised at how comfortable I feel) but I'm pretty emotionally attached at this point.
