cheap chinese bikes for cheap. which beats cheap chinese bikes with a brand name for $$$$. edit: which is to say.... consider them a bicycle kit. I would want to true up the wheels, regrease all the bearings, etc etc. assuming that your friend can do that sort of wrenching, they are a good deal. catch-22 in that you can't try the frame sizes out for fit and feel.
Looks like the whole front end broke off and he's still hanging onto the bars! Iiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee! Bad one.
the guy in the red banadana is cringing the guy crashing, his face is already deep imprinted on his front wheel :eek1
waddaminute. the guy doing the tire plant isn't wearing a helmet. what kinda event /was/ this? I see spectators, so it must be some sort of event.
Probably made in the same factories everyone else's stuff is made in. Performance is a big enough company to back it up. Try also: pricepoint's house brand, November, Performance (going to be same/same as Nashbar but with different decals) M
how'd you like to have to shift like this: Loosen the QR, move the rod that changes gears, retighten QR, try not to pull the wheel out of the dropouts, repeat as necessary :eek1 From Campy's 80th Anniv page M
Thanks Gumme! That is awesome. I have a friend who basically has all the stuff from say late 60's through the early 90's. Full Colnogo funny bike full Campy. And a Campy 50th anny groupo to boot. I think that is on his Colnago America. Full set of Campy tools too. And the cork screw. Of course.

This month's "Bicycling" has an excellent article on "The Passion of the Velodrome". It's worth a read. I've said it before - and my wife is well aware of my dream but if I were to come into a significant amount of money, the lottery for example, I'd build a velodrome and establish a program that would benefit both locals and visitors.
A velodrom in Phoenix would be a wok in the summer. But, a cool idea. The little bit I got to play on the training center track was very cool.
The <a href="http://baltimorebikeparty.com/">Baltimore Bike Party</a> was last night. Always an interesting time. This month's theme was 'Superheroes & Supervillains'. Of course, there's always <i>that</i> guy... <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8520/8604131601_20838fbd6e.jpg"> Some interesting people <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8119/8605234812_9d345e3644.jpg"> And interesting bikes. <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8384/8604133285_82c7afba45.jpg"> The best part was when they got lost. 1500 cyclists lost in Federal Hill in Baltimore.
Today's shenannigans: <IFRAME height=405 src="http://app.strava.com/activities/46542056/embed/2529fa24a460a2be82cd3d585f8dfe0334bc92ad" frameBorder=0 width=590 allowTransparency scrolling=no></IFRAME> I hadn't ridden since Monday and have fighting a bit of a cold. I felt it. I had intended to ride all of May's century route, but didn't have enough left to attempt the final loop and its extra 2000' of climbing. Next weekend is a road trip up to Medford for The Rouge Flahute.
Hi everyone, I'm initially here on ADV due to my Suzuki DR350SE thumper, but I thought there might be some interest in the two electric bicycles that I have built from scratch in the last year or so. Hopefully two photos will appear here: I've also written detailed accounts of both builds on these two webpages: http://goo.gl/xwtqs http://goo.gl/e1uGP Let me know what you think!
