>>789565
Looks nice, you should swap the brake levers though for the cable routing.

>>789529
Netherlands?

>>789495
awesome bike OP, looks fun as hell.

My Moser came with the same hideous stem. There was some mandate about putting that ugly profile stem on nice italian bikes in the 90s.

If you aren't suiting up and time trialing it around on long flats, you should consider getting a threadless headset converter and some bmx risers.

A homemade disc cover for your rear wheel would seal the deal.

>>789565
Really lovely bike. I bet it's nice to ride too.

I totally disagree about swapping the levers. If it's about aesthetics, Merckx era routing looks great on your bike, and those colors look great too.

Swapping old levers is worth it to get more comfortable hoods, but those ones look great condition so i daresay they are relatively comfortable.

It needs 2 bottle cages.

If you want to perfect its looks, get a silver seatpost. Campagnolo aero posts are the sexiest out there. If you find a cheap dull one you can bring it up. I can't really talk though because I have a black post on my bike full of shiny silver parts...

Enjoy it dude, looks like a great bike. Firmly planted as a beautiful classic, but close enough to being modern to be an excellent rider.

Also you can carry all you need on your back pockets or a small saddle bag. You don't need something that big unless you ride all day long and need to carry extra food and spares.

Bells are useless unless you ride bike paths or trails.

>>789686
>Tripple
allows you to use a really small spaced cassette. My winter training bike runs a tripple with a 12-23 9 speed
>Compact
The jump between gears is just too huge which is why I'm running a standart on my race bike. With a 11 sp groupset you can afford to go 11-27 or something like that without sacrificing that smooth transition between gears that a narrow spaced cassette offers.

I'm living in a very hilly area by the way

>>789821
Fair enough. What made you move to the compact double? Simply more range?

I'm working on an upgrade to my ride that'll be a 1x10 with a 39t chainring already on it and an 11-32 cassette. Figured it'd give me enough range for most stuff around where I live, and really dug yours when you had it set up as such.

2013 Giant Defy 5... My DD for summer/fall. I've done two trouble centuries on it and wasn't uncomfortable... Rides real well and doesn't feel 'dead' like some of the carbon I've had. It's pretty damn light too (for what it is), frame size Medium (about a 54.5cm), only 25 lbs with rack, fenders, lights, frame pump, and saddlebag+flat kit. After this pic, I swapped to Vittoria Open Pavé tires... Holy shit are they nice. I've got another set of wheels built up, 105 hubs laced to HPlusSons TB14 rims, just gonna wait for the roads to clear to put those on.
The next upgrade is brakes... I want a set of stiff calipers that don't cost $100/each... Suggestions?

I need to spend more hours riding this bike before deciding whether I really this setup any better than barcons, and I still think that STI levers (unflared models) work better in a sideways orientation than Ergo levers, but reaching the thumb lever under the bar is much easier than it seems like it ought to be.

Don't listen to that post. The way to hurt your back on a bike is ride a bike with too much saddle to drop ratio or too long of a top tube. Neither of these will happen if you get a frame that fits you and do a bit of stretching.

Super dooper fun mate. It's a Shogun Kaze, Nishiki sold a model with the same geo as well. It's fit to me perfectly (58cm effective TT) at 6'1". It basically just feels like a properly fit road bike does in the drops. The bars actually overlap the front axle vertically at the farthest point, would take a bit of getting used to for most riders.

They don't fuck your back up, I trust whoever said that doesn't actually own one. I've ridden 5+ half/more centuries on it. Hell I even take it out on mountain bike trails - but I'm a trials rider so I've got more bike handling than most, albeit I'm slow hah..

>>790308

As for price and finding them, it's just a lot of looking. Craigslist, Pedalroom, EBay...

I've bought a few other (now sold) pursuit bikes off of Craigslist in Southern CA, the cheap old steel heaven it is. Sometimes there will be none, other times I'll see five or so for sale.. just wait it out. I bought this one with a HED carbon wheelset and sold that to pay off the bike. It's not the most unique pursuit bike I've owned, but it rides so well and comfortably that I couldn't in good conscience sell it and expect to find such another good fit.

>>790491

Ah the saddle angle... I don't ride in chamois and it really just works well with the geo. It's a bit further rocked back than it looks in the picture, but I don't blame you for the criticism, on any other bike I'd be right with you.


I've ridden this and other pursuit bikes daily for quite some time, if anybody has any questions about riding or finding them feel free and I'll do my best.

>>790997
>The bars actually overlap the front axle vertically at the farthest point, would take a bit of getting used to for most riders.
What are you even talking about. That's completely normal.

>>791008

It's not entirely unusual, but it's to a much greater extent than normal road bikes. The combination of extra weight on the front wheel and a smaller wheel with a smaller contact patch create somewhat of a tiller effect. It's not unstable but it is different than a normal bike at first.

>>791557
7400 is really good though, even better than what Campy was putting out at the time.

>>791557
Hey, it's got cinelli and selle san marco. I'll say it again, beautiful bike. It wouldn't be better with campy on it, it's pretty perfect.

That cranks are especially lovely. I had some of those mavic wheels until i ruined them, fucking excellent wheels. Don't put 28s on them and ride trails...

If you ever want to waste a bit of money you could get a new regal. I have a regal, a rolls & a turbo and the regal is my favorite, great saddle.

I'd prefer it with black saddle, tape & tyres (maybe something with a gum strip like challenge crit open tubular), but that's just me being boring.

Your brake levers are too low.

You could try to bring your seatpost & stem up a bit if you can be bothered. Look up aluminium polishing on bike forums.

Smack a bitch that tells you to slam ur stem, unless you want a more aero position.

>>791560
>>791567
honestly I can't complain about the 7400s I'm finding that I like them even more than a lot of modern components, in terms of crispness and durability especially.

>>791567
thanks for the suggestions, definitely going to move away from having too much yellow, at least with the tires at least. But then again Im going to have to re tape anyways when i move the levers.

The san marcos is absolutely comfortable and at the moment I would hate to see it go, despite its obvious aging.

Overall, the frame feels great, I feel no loss in power, etc

Orfos Flares. They're 180 degree visible to other vehicles using a type of diffusion similar to that of a car reflector.

The front one doesn't actually shine upwards at all fortunately from the way it's made. I haven't had it in my eyes at all and sometimes forget it's even there as I use another light on my handlebars to see.

I don't believe in bottom of drops must be parallel to the ground, but maybe angle them down some and raise your stem to compensate. It would make the drops more comfortable, keep the hoods much the same, and give you tops that are higher to rest your back with.

Why the fuck would you lock your bike like that?

>>793452
Is it not supposed to face forward

>>793455
Point it backwards - more aero

>>793453
not him, but that's a fine lockjob, no way to get the rear wheel out without cutting the U-lock, so that secures the frame.

>>793457
oh shit I'm retarded

>>793457
That's not the reason. If it's pointing forward it can snag on something and open. Hugely dangerous if you're riding in a pack - not so much if you're forever alone.

>>793458
That's what I thought when I first saw it done, works when you can't get both the frame and wheel in the U.
>>793452
It's not like clipless shoes are hard to walk in, plus I commute about 20 miles each way to and from work/class. Did feel weird about leaving the QR that way but figured it didn't matter, I don't really like having it up against the fork.

did you buy this from a man named Fred by any chance?

>>794064

It could be more comfortable to have your saddle a bit tilted back or forward, but not to the point yours is. You may start developing wrist pain, because you're putting more weight in your hands by having your saddle slide you forward.

>>794098
>spacers
>zero drop
Nothing wrong with that, perfectly acceptable for someone out of shape/somewhat old
>riser stem
That's not a riser stem. It's just not flipped.
>tilted saddle

>>794137
>Nothing wrong with that, perfectly acceptable for someone out of shape/somewhat old

Out of shape shouldn't be riding a bike like this, it's prime fred behaviour.

>That's not a riser stem. It's just not flipped.

A riser stem is a stem with rise. In the position pictured, it's a riser stem.

It's a freddish bike.

>>794154
>fred behavior

why... because he had the money to buy a nice bike?

>>794157
He was obviously a slow rider on a fast bike. The expense isn't the issue - If he had a custom titanium frame or something that wouldn't be freddish, but buying a race bike and just bimbling around on it with a setup like that is freddish.

flip and slam the stem, get some deep drops.

>>794167

Ignore this fag

Ergos should usually be level with the ground (the flat part of the ergo), or tilted up a bit. Yours seem a bit too high but I've seen a bunch of people use them that high too, so whatever you find comfier.

Please take a proper picture, from the drivetrain side, like this

>>794176
I can't decide whether or not I like this bike.

>>794171
but deep drops offer more options for hand positioning, and a slammed stem will result in a lower centre of gravity and as such better handling

>>793913

do you dress up like Jimmy Cagney and sing Yankee Doodle Dandy while you ride? you could even do the tap routine in your cleated shoes.

bare metal frame and two-color housings are awesome. the name "Ceviche" is raw fish and lime juice and is undignified for a bicycle.

>>794176
The fuck is the deal with that fork? It looks like it's actually designed to have a flipped brake mount (going by the rake) for no reason. Disc brake mounts are designed to force the caliper into the mount, not to try and pull it away from the fork.

>>794194

So much fun!

I think my brakes need adjusting though.. my back ones felt like they were doing basically nothing.

Fuck yea, road biking is a rush man. Glad you enjoy it. That is very fast if it was on the flat. You should be able to get up to 50mph on a steep hill in a tuck.

Definitely get the front brake working well. New pad inserts might help.

The back brake basically doesn't matter and don't use it.

http://sheldonbrown.com/brakturn.html

You should slowly make your front end more aggressive. You can stay comfortable in an aero position only if you generate enough power. Being fast basically supports you. Not having a sore back for longer rides is much more important than being aero though.

Also, the drops are the most stable position and best to brake from so take descents in the drops. MTB people often don't realise this and stay on the hoods.

Assuming that setup could even produce enough force to pull the wheel from the dropouts (highly doubtful) there are other solutions to that problem, such as angled dropouts (as mentioned in that article), lawyer lips, and even retention washers (which that fork looks like it may have actually been designed for with those holes above the dropouts).

Seriously tho', your opinions are shit, if you're going to judge why not attempt to provide some context to your argument.

>>794824
looks fine to me

>>795013
I like it - bikes that are used for transport and cared for by their owners are the best kinds of bikes.

>>794824
no its comfortable and its also not too small haha

just finished up my craigslist frankenbike

Actually got some pretty decent parts
>raleigh olympian technium aluminum/steel frame
>neuvation r28 sl3/5 wheels
>generic carbon fork
>specialized carbon fiber drop bars
>truvativ rouleur carbon crankset

it is a SS right now, but it has a shimano hub so I can put a cassette/shifters on eventually, but it is super flat here and I don't want to cheap out on derailleurs/shifters

>>795064
Is the rear triangle... bolted on?

Go campag veloce 10 speed shifters

And Shimano altus 8 speed rear derailer

with 105 5700 front derailer

Ok guys I sourced some dia-compe xt brakes and some actual mtb tires. I switched the front wheel to a specialized bx23. I need to make the chain smaller and get some sort of guide/guard if I can find one.

>>795079
fuck this is a cool bike

I normally don't dig welded 2 piece quill stems but this one looks awesome. How it isn't scratched and covered in rust is beyond me.

No BMX?

SS without horizontal dropouts? Super cool.

Personal critiques:

The interrupter lever you're using isn't designed to be used that way. I'd go with something more traditional.

Your seat post may be on backward (or crappy).

I like my saddle to be parallel to the ground, makes it easier to shift around.

It's nice, big ups.

>>795109
>SS without horizontal dropouts? Super cool.

yeah chain is a little tight but not in danger of snapping so I figure it will stretch

>The interrupter lever you're using isn't designed to be used that way. I'd go with something more traditional.

handlebars too big to put it near the stem. I need to order another one

>Your seat post may be on backward (or crappy).
yeah it probably is and its a weird situation since it is a 22mm seatpost with a separate rail clamp thing

I like my bike, I just bought a bike tool kit so I can better maintain it. Got a maintance book too. Pretty excited. I really just got into cycling last year other than my youth riding on walmart fixies.

Yeah I know that the saddle bag is pretty xbox hueg but I like being prepared, got two tubes a backup battery for my light because I ride at night only and a backup usb charger to charge my phone just in-case. oh and a multi-tool

>>795510
>>795510
...you really don't need two spare tubes. stick one in and replace the other with a tire boot kit and tube patch kit. really you can repair most tube and tire flats on the road but i wouldn't want to be stuck at night somewhere with an unrepairable tube and no spare. also imo medical supplies are more important than a second spare, as well. throw in some alcohol wipes, gauze pads, and medical tape. it really sucks riding home with exposed torn up skin stinging the entire way. takes up no space, really. i'd also really recommend a small led maglite in case you have to pull over to work on anything. bike lights won't do you much good cause you won't really have anyplace to mount it usefully whereas you can stick a small maglite between your chompers and aim it wherever you're looking :-)

>>795421
Nashbar XR-1. Nice. Is that the model with the cutout or no?

I have the non-cutout model and it's aces. Except I'm rocking a slightly wider Velo right now. It's just a better fit on my MTB.

Either way. the XR-1 is great bang for buck, for sure.

>>795510
also throw in a knife. never know when it could be useful

>>795524
>Bring medical supplies

Yeah going to do that now since I did fall down and gouge my leg on the large gear and it bleed pretty bad and is still sorta bleeding. I do also have a patch kit but the light and the medical supplies are a good idea, but my main bike light is easily detached from the handlebars so I can point it at the tires pretty easy if I have to fix a flat

>>795529
Not sure if your joking but that is a good idea

>>795532
Not anon, but yeah. A GOOD knife. No joke. So many survival uses if it comes to it.

>>795532
you really need both hands to do most anything when it comes to working on a bike. i've been in that situation and when i realized i couldn't hold my bike light in my mouth i was totally cursing myself for not realizing that would be a problem

>>795538
So how would a maglite be different?

>>795539
you can hold a small double AAA battery led maglite pretty easily in your mouth. they don't weigh much, are easy to bite onto, and work very well

>>795540
oh they have a single aaa one actually. i'd get that. i have the double but the single looks perfect

>>795381

Gotta get a bar tape

>>795639
dem drilled hubs

I can never own a drill press. I wouldn't be able to help myself. The morning after regret would be immense.

>>795510
wtf is wrong with your bar angle? how can you even ride in those drops?

>>795688
Yeah it needs to be adjusted

I am just trying to see what feels the best and after finishing my 30 miles ride I think I need to change some things around because I am getting some lower back pain

>>795064

That brake lever doesn't seem very convenient

>>795527

Good to hear, and yeah its the non-cutout version. Amazon(and Nashbar) had it for $16 the other day and I had heard good things so I grabbed one. Love the look, feels comfy so far.

>>795689
If it was me I'd just buy different bars and flip the stem but I'd only recommend you switching up those bars. Different shaped bars would be more comfortable especially for the drop position and you don't have to keep hunting for a compromise angle.

Took her out for a spin today.

Went to lbs to get new 105 chain, and 105 ten speed cassette. They installed it, but it was not shifting correctly? Kept skipping. I took a look at it, wasn't shifting correctly, at all, but they put a Tiagra cassette on it, refunded me $25 and it works fine now.

Anybody know why it might not work?

what's your problem, mate? riding at night warrants some extra precaution. i'll take being prepared to DIY whatever you can over being stuck miles away from home on a dark road alone and hoping you can call somebody for help. DIY or die insecure freds need not apply
