I'm going to order pic related for it as soon as it becomes available here. I have also considered putting solid fenders on it in the summer when I can fit more slick tires to it. The current fenders are just something I had laying around.

>>927720
Nigga, get some orange grips. It's the right thing to do, and you know it.

>>927738
orange would clash with the red, and the pink grips were £2 in a clearance bin.

>>927715
quick release

>>927740
I don't see any red, anyway, I meant grips matching the frame and saddle. Still, cheap is always cool.

>>927742
fuck it, have to strike the awol of my shortlist, as thru axles are one of the main things i want, so now i have to choose between the marin gestalt 3, and raleigh mustang comp.

Swapped my fork. It's not actually a Tora but rather a Suntour that the previous owner stickered up and I haven't got around to peeling them off. It's actually alright, no external adjustments but it works well as is and it's a lot stiffer than what I had.

>>927793
how exactly did you "create" that bike and why are you living in Detroit, Michigan?

>>927794
>those arent really track frames either

While I agree with you on that, sloping top tubes on track bikes doesn't make it not a track bike.
Sloping tt are used from time to time by pros for a smaller, more compact geometry (mostly in smaller frames). Some track frames have sloping top tubes as a result of an aggressive seat tube angle, especially seen in Japanese track bikes.

This doesn't even make sense.

The answer is because horizontal top looks look old fashioned.

Currently the fastest track bikes have horizontal top tubes for aerodynamics. There was a small insignificant argument that a compact geometry could make a bike stiffer, but stiffness really isn't a problem with modern materials.

>>927898
I have had the awol only since monday so I have not had the chance to put a million miles on it yet. No idea how it handles cargo.

As for the weight I had estimations and expectations that it would weigh like 14kg. This bike actually weighs 11,9kg with pedals and everyting.

>>927926
Oh god so many maymays. I would totally comment on that awakwardly if I ever saw it in real life.

Naisu baiku senpai.

>>927926

man.

I'd like to give it a test ride though.

>>927655
>>927898

They would drive me beyond insane if i had to shift often, but I try to keep it in one gear. But being tall and having long arms kinda helps.

>>927898
working as a messenger with my awol, installed a huge foodora box on the rear which weighs a lot. Had to true my last bikes rear wheel like every month or so and spokes broke often. I've had it since mid december and haven't had to true it yet.

It's built like a tank really

>>927951
it's pretty easy, especially if you set your bike up so that you spend more time in the dropz, putting your hands closer to the shifters. never gets nearly as telepathic as ergos or sti, but sometimes it's fun, just as a change of pace.

barends and stem shifters can eat my ass tho.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was, in fact, an MTB derailleur. STX was the equivalent to what Deore is nowadays. Maybe they put that one because of the triple crank, as most road RDs are short-cage.

Thank you, I have not cut the fork yet because I am still finding where is most comfortable for me. I am not sure what an inclined stem is; possibly a stem that angles upward?

>>927847
Yes, I have the ones for disc brakes and the ones for rim brakes, both actually came trued and round on arrival. I was impressed for machine built wheels and since I got them for near $150 each set with Nashbar discount.

>>928136
>>928144
Open for any 2 bolt pedal recommendations

I have had 0 issues with my Eggbeaters since I purchased them. Now I have 4 pairs of crankbro's pedals because I do not want to have a pair of shoes per each bike. Each purchased with 20%-25% off from Nashbar resulting in near $50 per pair which I could be mistaken, but that seems like a great price.

I am also a consultant and sometimes bike to businesses; showing up with clankers would draw more attention and look less formal than the shoes I currently have.

>>928319

jip,
I don't now if inclined stem is the right word.
but a stem that angles upward.

>>928107
Thank you. Nothing too far, fishing spots within 20 miles of my house and outdoor/camping locations within 30 miles~

>>928118
Thanks you too

>>928323
That is what I assumed, I should mess with an angled stem to find the right spot(I know some you can adjust the angle too although that seems like a point of failure).

Even more so, I want to slam that stem. But I think I need to ride more before I go full slam.

I do not feel a major difference in these wheelsets with tires/tubes/rotors removed and on the bike it's hard to compare. One is aluminum frame with steel fork and 32mm tires, the other is full carbon with 25mm tires.

If it helps, I would gladly buy this wheelset again for $150~ especially since my "hand built" Vuelta cx wheels arrived out of round and needing to be trued before riding and cost 2-3x as much.

Eye sore TT Bike. Got the module as seen with no wheels for $400 shipped off the internet. Team loaned me the race tubulars. Internal routing for the rear derailleur is shot so the full length housing is zip tied to the frame and then run the length of the downtube using duct tape and a MTB downtube guard adhesive. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a bike I'll only race a few times out of the year, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Mostly SRAM Rival. Uberhund one piece aerobars.

Too expansive to change all my shifters and brakes. Besides, flat bars aren't that bad. It isn't a race bike anyway. It doesn't really matter if I become more aero or not. It has 38c tires and isn't the lightest bike (12 kg). If I really want to go fast, I'd infest in a road bike but I'm not really into racing so this is good enough.

yeah, those are a rig to get a forward hand-position. they're actually the hood/bar clamps minus the levers that came stock with the bike--so, standard drop-bar brakes. I used inner-tube rubber to jam into the gaps that the levers used to be in and then wrapped the whole thing with more rubber for a uniform surface. better thickness that way, too.

Fenders are VO. these are polished alu, but I'd go for chrome if I was gonna buy again for a more durable finish. my fork clearance was basically nothing, so there was another elaborate rig to install the front one.

>doesn't putting all your cargo on the front rack mess up the handling?

I personally hate having a lot of weight aft of me for city riding. sure it's more stable at speed, but in the city I'm never at speed for any appreciable amount of time. I'm much more frequently at a light, loading, or mounting/dismounting. all that weight aft creates leverage and makes your headset want to jackknife. with cargo directly under the pivot of the headset that you're holding via the bar, it's just not an issue. I do usually load up the rear anyway with 20lbs of dog food (current pic), just not on that trip. balancing a load front and rear works well, but if it's just one I prefer front.

you're potentially right about twitchy steering, though. But this is mitigated with a wheel stabilizer, you can kinda see it in the pic. (once again, I had to use an elaborate rig to install it due to frame clearance. lotsa rigs on this bike.) the stabilizer works great. you can feel a difference when she's loaded but there's no twitch, the ride remains really even.

I installed the baskets as low as I could for favorable center-of-gravity, so hopefully that helps a bit, too. may experiment with placement in the future.

It's a 750ml bottle, with 500ml you can take it out by just pulling upwards, but with this one you gotta pull diagonally. It's still very comfortable and easy to get out.

Looking awesome.

I think you could make this bike look really good with a quill stem.

It would be a lot of work. I'd ride it for months as is, get the fit exactly right (try different stems), then go quill

When going quill, I'd get a new drop bar. Something without the ergo bend.

This is just to make the bike 100% internet bike porn. I don't think you need to do it, but it would take it to the next level.

Also it looks a little bit like your brake levers are up too high. Consider a shorter stem if you feel like it's hard to reach them or the drops

Great bike. I'm nit-picking . It looks awesome.

>>929519
Not him, but there's absolutely no reason to buy aluminum cages. They do actually break. I'd seen more broken and bent aluminum cages than plastic cages, and if you desperately want a metal cage you can get stainless. Neither marks up your bottles with black stains, both of them are more durable. Metal cages have the small advantage of being able to tighten or loosen them, but of course this fatigues the metal.

not him, but
(A) the busy pattern on splash tape clashes with the clean quality of all but the most sticker-bombed frames. that's true of all splash tape. but further, the solid colors and simple graphics on Cannondales are even cleaner than usual.

(B) your frame is blue. Red doesn't go with a single other thing on that bike. it clashes like crazy. so that's a double penalty.

Bonus points for beautiful CC, wheels, tyres, chainset, Nitto bars. Points detracted for hipster saddle and DT shifters. Seriously, DT shifters? :(

>tires fuck'n saturated with wet sand

it's your free-time and you can do what the fuck you want with it but you might have a better time on a fatbike if you're going to be doing that

Nice checkerboard racing paint. Mines a more stealth style approach, may I ask why you didn't go for the 1x11? My hardtail really feels like my old epic, yet better at everything including climbing whole standing and jumps/drops. Hasn't washed out at all, but I have a stiff fork setup. Really need a dropper post firstly. The Ti frame really feels immensely less harsh as compared to Alu.

in the early days, the only anons that would come to /n/ would come to discuss bullet trains.

still icy where you are? how are those tires treating you and what model?

>>931886
I see...

Yes, there's still ice here in Finland, although it's slowly starting to melt here in the south. These have been wonderful tyres. They feel safe, almost like riding in the summer and they roll surprisingly well. They're Suomi Tyres WXC´R 312, so they're basically rebranded Nokians made here in Finland. After Nokian shut down their bicycle tyre factory, the former employees started a new company and now make the same tyres as before but with a different name.

I'm almost finished with this 90s Mongoose Hilltopper (before they sold out to Pacific). All it really needs is new pedals at this point.

I thought rigid 90s mountain bikes were just a meme, but for the $60 investment I am very pleasantly surprised. It was totally worth trying out and should serve me many muddy trips.
