Thanks, all. It might be be the new new speaking, but this bike rides nicer than my Speedvagen by a fair margin.

That rock lobster really does look incredible!

I used to race a caad9 in college and got a bit nostalgic when I saw a caad13 rim brake pop up for sale. Decided to go a bit weenie on a budget with it and it's sitting at 16.7 lbs.

This one is from a different era, but one that I miss quite a lot……

Catching up on the latest posts, still one of my favorite threads here. Keep 'em coming!

My lastest project, the Moser I picked up here. Made some minor mostly cosmetic changes and now this one is pretty perfect to me.

mirroring Jimbo on today's ride - king r45 carbons to new RH extra light 32s for the summer shoes. nothing beats nice new tires on a bike.

Are you not like a *little* paranoid about riding gravel with carbon wheels and rim brakes? I feel like you're just asking to abrade away your rims prematurely.

An updated pic of mine with new to me wheels.

respectfully not at all - plus I can always rebuild them with new textured rims. but... I do have painters tape on the HT until I redo the cables to keep the rub from peeling off too much paint!

respectfully, you can purchase 3m paint protection film on Amazon for about $11 for a two foot roll

Cinelli team FTW :



Unica circa 96, NOS frameset, Columbus Brain, size 60. Cinelli stem / seatpost / handlebar, all Campy Athena 11, but old picture, I've swapped the carbon levers for silver ones since then.
