Dura Ace shifters don't offer triple (x3) in the 9-speed version, only Ultegra does.

Are you shooore?*

They may be rare as a clamped seatpost in Weisan-Pal's garage (

), but the Dura Ace 7703 3x9 shifter is a thing that did exist in nature...as did the 7703 triple crankset...

OMG, I will be damned!* you are right, Clean pal! Thanks for the correction. I guess I just haven't come across one in the past with all these years of using shimano 9 speed stuff. Learn something new everyday...

The paint on this bike is amazing. Pictures don't do it justice.The fade red to black carbon. Colnago C60 Art Deco in the OFRG colorway.

Sweet! Pro tip: keep pipe insulation on that TT until the cables and tape are the installed - a dented TT would be quite a bummer...

The seller had it hanging in his garage for 2 years due to buying a new carbon cannondale. I bought it within 2 hours of him posting the ad lol.

The shifters alone would command that price. DA 9 on 4 bikes, including DA triple on a tandem. Suuweeeet, as they say.

Quoc Gran Tourer gravel shoes in green camo

via Kickstarter
first impression is very good. meaty sole, supple upper, good foot shape. Looking forward to wearing them.

AngryScientist · #**2054** 10-18-2018, 09:47 AM

I have to ask: are these new crop of laced shoes not a concern for getting laces caught up in the chain?

I just remember a nasty incident from my childhood on a bmx bike and my vans...

FR8CAR · #**2055** 10-18-2018, 09:52 AM

Giros have a nifty strap to secure the laces once tied, though I tuck them in again at the bottom to be sure.
