Dick Dastardly Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Only reason I didn't go with a wheels mfg one is cause I can't find any. Wheels stuff is usually found in bike shops. It is QBP's (distributor to bike shops) house brand of accessories.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need11@47 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Oh hello, finally going to be riding on a real metal. '11 Lynskey Cooper Titanium. going to move all the stuff off my FELT frame. my plan is to paint it Saffron, if i get impatient it will stay Mill Finish. got it on Fbay for a decent price. Mike: I'd suggest you don't paint the entire frame Saffron, but perhaps the seat and head tubes, or just the stays. I think the contrast between the natural metal finish and that color would work well. The right wheels will be key to making it work. My 2 cents. -Wm.

flyfishing3 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi Bill, i decided not to paint. I do like the idea of some accents maybe. well here is the latest purchase for the bike. Like i've said before, i can't ride like a pro, but i will look like one. lol and before somebody says it, i'm too big for CF wheels. worst part about the purchase is i use a powertap wheel in the back so i really wont even use the rear wheel.

Mesoam Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 picked up an older stumpy m2 over the weekend, cleaning it up into a city bike to get OUT of the office on nice days and 20 min later (its getting painted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt b Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 No kidding, 11-32 is not something you'd want to brag about. Make the jump to 11-25 or even 11-23, you'll be working on that hill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 haha, i tried 25 and would stall mid hill. i took the easy way out with the 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I run a 11-28 and love it. Started with a 32 and found I could climb better with the 28. Haven't tried a 25, but I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 11-25 on the Mavics and 10-23 on the race wheels. It's really not as bad as you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
