The R3V Bicycle Thread

haha I know how you feel! I can't decide what color I want... either all black and murdered out, or bright ass blue! NO IDEA! haha

Erik, the silver Weinmanns you posted up are super nice. Same amount of "V" as velocitys, a little heavier. I recently re-built up my old black bike as a singlespeed and put those same wheels on it with chrome (or polished?) formula hubs. Sold it to my friend from school for a little more than I paid for the wheels actually

Looks good! What clips/straps did you get?

I have the single MKS clips right now:


but I think I might get these and run double straps:

we got some afa (made in france) NOS steel clips w/ afa white leather straps.

The MKS' above are the ones that broke on me today, and the ones pictured below, strangely, are the ones I just bought

[Erik]

That's what I ride on... Love them. Hard as shit NOT to fall playing polo though, I'll get used to it.

The single MKS ones are the ones I have, but I have the steel ones.

I think I'm going to get those double gate/strap ones anyway, I just really like the way they look, and I like double straps. I'm not really a fan of the single gate MKS that I have. Anyone wanna buy em?

Anyone interested in a 56cm IRO Mark V frameset? I bought it and it is too tall for me. Its NIB and ready to ship. I will also throw in a black ritchey scuzzy logic pro headset into the deal. Retail was $269 plus shipping, i am looking for $200 shipped.

I was thinking about running a front brake, but I'm undecided. Probably will end up without one, don't want to even spend the money on one. Hmmm that last set you posted Erik is pretty dope, now I have to decide between those and the black ones I posted... the decisions!

Black + gold hubs dude.

Well, I combined my two options and got these.

dude, GOOD CHOICE.

dude, GOOD CHOICE.

I considered this wheel set and still may get it. Very nice choice indeed...

[Farbin Kaiber]

[scabzzzz]

I wonder what the benefit of that is?

Stupidity/redundancy. I bet the rider works for NASA/JPL. It's not like a freewheel on one side would do anything. But, it looks like it has a derailer mount on the tbe.

Great frame for those looking, I have a 59cm Mark V Pro, and I love it.
