derailin', sorry

(i think 54cm might actually be too big for me? Hunt3r how does CX sizing differ from road? i am short)

shit i have to go back to work

conventional wisdom says go 1 or 2 cm smaller, but i like them the exact same size as my road frame if possible and use a shorter higher stem. that way the steering axis "feels" mostly the same to me. when i raced a smaller frame (the gitane) i felt like too much weight on front wheel or something.

cx trivia. in 1995 or so, there were almost no cx options, and no US mass market ones, available in the US. so u got an ALAN or other euro frame. imagine, i mean avg riders dint even know what they were. I had canti posts brazed onto an rb1 in order to have one. so schwab cycles in denver brought in a bunch of those gitanes cause the local scene was starting to blow up.

That voodoo wazoo looks great I have half a mind to bid on it for my GF.

wow it is v nice

BACK OFF

sorry for more rookie questions, but does this bike look okay or shitty?

i always thot that motivs were like sub huffy. its a tange cromo frame tho, and the parts hanging on it are mid to high end. if yr dead sure that the parts arent clapped out and frame and wheels are straight, it doesn't sound shitty.

make sure you get some slicks for it

hunt3r what do you think a decent price would be for that voodoo?

on another note: apparently winner of that gitane was shady, and i was second place, so the seller is hounding me to buy it.

See the ebay scam thread on ile before you buy!

not sure but the fork on the wazoo is probly worth more than the gitane. and isnt a king headset is like $125 or more?

man, im out of the game so my price estimates might be crap but id think $575-$650 would be low side of retail a la carte

just did some looking online.... have found new framesets for 500-550, with different (carbon) forks

i can get a cross-check for $400 from the LBS (lower than MSRP, apparently), so this wouldn't be worth it for more than $350, I don't think. i mean, it's definitely a nice frame, but the cross check seems more versatile (could be used as a SS, for instance)

IS THAT A BELT DRIVE?

unless he used wooden pegs on everything, its got metal on it and im not impressed. ok i lie

apparently it's entirely wood

I can't look at that bike without imagining all this pains to the nether regions

Just geometrically speaking, those bikes should come factory with the butt cushion seats, the split ones. It goes, somehow.

OH NOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOFT RIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the flying-W handlebars: classier than moustache ones, with all the implication of a leisurely stroll but with more style.

Not sure if I lust, but this frame is crazy:

What is a good, semi-affordable, girly, cute-fashion bike?

Are we mostly roadies/commuters here? I was going to post a picture of the new Foex FXR (the bike that I lust after), but Foes's page is done in flash, and I don't know how to link to a particular image from it.

Is this the dude:

Close- they just redesigned the top tube to integrate the seat tube gusset into the monocoque, and they gave it a little bit more travel. incidentally, i made a life decision a few years ago that, unbeknownst to me at the time, prevented me from getting hired as the assistant GM at foes. i still love the hell out of their bikes, though.

okay that indy fab is totally beautiful but why on earth did they put a feckin' kelly green king headset on it??? for a bike that seems fastidiously color-matched that choice is O_O in the extreme.

seems to match the lettering on the frame there eh

ah so it does. still think they should have stuck with silver, tho

Also love the Phil Woods SS CX bike gbx posted up at the very top of this thread.

Trek Fuel. Is one in the window of my local Evans (semi-decent chain store). Nice looking geometry.

trek has stepped it up a ton lately... the new fuel EX's are great bikes. back when i worked in a trek shop, we couldn't compete with specialized stumpjumpers and enduros, but my friends who still work there say they can't keep these in stock. i demo'd one on my favorite loop in southern california, and it was a treat.

WANT : 80s miyata road bike

^^ not sure why picasa is acting so stupid but it's that blue miyata with the white bar tape and black seat that really does it for me.

not quite as classy as the ones above but still quite dope
