The R3V Bicycle Thread

[quikveedb2]

I want to build my set of wheels but my bike shop told me I have the "old" standard size wheel.

Your bike shop doesn't know what they're talking about. My Pug came stock with 27" wheels, my Velocities are 700c and fit fine, even with fatter tires, The pic with the drop bars the tires were 700x32 iirc, a pretty high volume road tire by most standards. 700mm=27.5591 inches with 700c being a nominal term for tire diameter. As long as you get hubs with the right spacing, and don't run 700x45 cyclocross tires, you'll be fine.

This is what I've got:

I used to race BMX when I was younger and now I have that one ^^^^ I don't ride it as often as I'd like but that will change shortly!

So I made the shop I work in a facebook page. The shop has been around for about 40 years, and it really kicks ass. If any of you guys ride, or just have a minute to kill do me a favor and 'Like' us on facebook. If you're local to Kansas stop in sometime and check out what we've got!

Picked these up.. HED Ardennes GP's with Conti GP4000s's!
The wheels and tires are leaps beyond the stock Bontrager 6000 wheels/Race lite tires.
I put the old wheels on my sons Trek FX7.2 - He's pimpin' now!

Rode my first century a couple weekends ago. Was for a charity ride I'd been raising money for. The rest of my dudes dropped me at mile 65 and I've never had to push so hard to keep myself going. It was really gratifying once I hit the finish and I'm glad I kept pushing myself. Plus I was doing the ride for my Uncle who just passed away from cancer barely two months ago.

Here's me crossing the line, looking a bit tired.


And the bike

Here's my current setup. Vilano frame with assorted bits.



Looking to get into that Italian game next with a Bianchi. Somebody sell me a Pista for cheap. Do it.

Just picked up this nice old 1990 Gary Fisher Montare frame to build myself another singlespeed, pretty much using the components from the Klein frame.
