"....blue, gold and silver color-way"


i refuse to buy anything that uses the term color-way, colourway, or curated.

the only "curing" i want is in connection with beef jerky, smoked salmon, prosciutto or jamon.

now get off my lawn!




(great cadillac backstory though!)

They're actually the affordable option for the AX Lightness/THM/Lightweight-everything-12-pound bike set. Well, they're under $1000.

Too bad Planet Bike stopped doing brakes.

Light, good stopping power, and colors that actually matched stuff.

And CHEAP!!!

Ciamillo Gravitas.

Four maintenance free years (over 10K miles) on the Crumpton with excellent one finger modulate to taste performance with Campy Bora's machined braking surface.
