need11@47 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 No problem, big guy. Where you from?LA, CA area; about 30 miles due east of downtown. Not many areas to ride in this metropolis, so I have to get out on the road very early to avoid the cars (no offense to Volvo owners). I enjoy my wagons because they're also really nice bike racks. No need to dismount the front wheel. -Wm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've seen those BMC roadies before. They look so rad! The Eddy Mercx is also poking amazing!It's rare for me to get into 47x11 in the SF hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted to get her rolling on a budget.I LOVE it! That chain is wild! Nice color combinations too. You and Spoony are into the single speeds. I'll need some pointers from you both. Hopefully he'll post his. It's nice! Good work! -Wm. Edited May 10, 2008 by need11@47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 How do you like the EC90 fork Sam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 You kidding me!? I can't afford that thing! I'm broke! I'll let you know how the guy likes it though. He decided to go with the thomson instead of the matching easton seatpost. Kinda weird, in my opinion, since he's so concerned with weight. I've heard good things about the fork though.

Spoony Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 The one thing I don't trust about carbon fiber is its lifespan. I would feel relatively comfortable with just the fork blades made of carbon fiber but I'm not sure how I'd feel about the steerer tube made of the same material. But then again, I'm in a city environment and I'm assuming you're a little less rough with your stuff.I can get back to you about the guys opinion about the fork but it probably won't be much help considering he just got it the other day.
