matt b Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I currently have the EC70, which has the aluminum steer tube, have thought about switching to the EC90 since it's all carson fibers.I'm running the EC90 on my Litespeed: oh sweet Lord! It's nice, I never thought I would feel an improvement, but I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhoeve Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 This bike is for sale because I continually take huge drops and either destroy a few body joints or bash in the wheels and a few components. Make no mistake, this setup has been worked for all it's worth. Lucky for you I just rebuilt the fork that has now been blown for the 3rd time. The Fox rear shock is bombproof. The Mavic wheels are strong but they are maintenance friggin hogs. Granted they stay true, but I spend more time scooping crap out of this rear hub than I do assuring my wife her thighs are not fat. Caveat emptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need11@47 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 here's the roadierecord, carbon, rolf prima vigorI like your bars. Do you find the naked carbon gets slippery during a ride? I'd guess that as long as you're wearing gloves, it's not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 So, here's a crummy story on an incident involving a doctor, so filled with rage that he felt the need to slam on his brakes, causing the two bicyclists behind him to crash into/over his car. linkChristian Stoehr recounts "We were riding downhill at approximately 30 mph when a car came up behind us, must have been doing 50 mph, and the driver started honking at us. We moved to the right in single file within seconds and the motorist pulled along Ron and started screaming at him. He then pulled in front of us with 3-5 feet to spare and slammed on his brakes, giving us no time to stop. I swerved and almost made it, clipping the car and flying through the air and landing in the street. Ron had no room to move and he went straight into the back of the car, putting his face through the back window."The driver of the vehicle stopped his car and continued the tirade, identifying himself as a Doctor but never offering medical attention.Ron reports that "my nose was separated to the point that it was hanging off my face. They moved it to the side and pulled glass out of my face. My front two teeth are broken, they found a piece in the backseat mixed in with all the glass. I've got 90 stitches in my face."And here's the update where criminal charges are reported. link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Saw that. There's been a lot of road rage incidents (a few involving death) lately. It's scary to be on the road sometimes especially as a daily commuter. Definitely keeps the blood pumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenhoeve Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 That wasn't too far from me and know guys on that club. He will lose his medical license if convicted. It seems some road ragers don't understand that messing with a car and with someone on a bike is fundamentally different, it is very easy to kill someone on a bike with your vehicle. Lucky in fact that this guy didn't. I have never had any serious problems here in Orange County, we have very large bike lanes so don't have to mix with traffic flow much. My wife rides and I will probably have her start carrying mace after she was heckled on her way home from work this week, and I might too.The whole incident is a very sad commentary on the state of our society.

drPheta Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 That sucks. I always worry about cars when I ride. I need to find a long trail or just keep my roadie on my trainer and stick with mountain biking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need11@47 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 That accident was indeed unnecessary and unfortunate. After reading the news article, it seems the driver is trying to cover up his actions. This is but another example and reason for all of us to ride defensively.

BtownVolvo Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Got mine from FedEx the other day, but have yet to take pics. It's a late 80's Schwinn World Sport my mom had laying around, so I decided it'd be a fun project.Drew (Dongle) will be helping me fix it up and swapping it to fixed gear. So it's in pieces at his place waiting to get cleaned and "modded." Mmmm...can't wait. I'll get some pics up soon! This is basically what it looks like now:I think my favorite thing is the sweet 80's decals. Soo pimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
