The R3V Bicycle Thread

Apparently the pedals. And if you don't like drop bars, those have got to go... Mr. Anderson just cut his and flipped them over to make them into bull horns.

SO im at work. Bored. Figured I'd go nab marketing's DSLR and go take pics of my bike.
The only reason there is a brake on it is because my road bike is down and the road to work is extremely crowded and down hill. People cannot drive in Nashville. Turned out I needed it this morning anyways in order to not die...

I just redid my girlfriends bike completely. Thats where all my money went. :(








Watcha think? Color schemes can eat a dick and like I said tonight the brake comes off. New tubes for the road bike on the way..

That is sick as HELL! I love the pink with the matte gray.

Rides like a dream. The frame is kind of heavy compared to what I was riding, but the cog and crankset is quality so its real smooth. I took Andy's advice and started riding 120psi in my tires. Big fuckin difference. Real rigid, but faster.

Thanks man. I meant to ask you, how is your recovery? You're pretty active now. Im assuming all is good?

Dia Compe front brake FTW. Tektro is ok, but kinda cheapish. First thing to upgrade on the Windsor is the pedals, for sure. The stock ones are SHIT, and hurt like hell. The seat is alright, but not very comfy, I just got a new one. The headset on mine is a threadless Ritchey, I'm not sure what other people got. And yes, the stock drops suck ass. And I do need to get some wheels, but those are later. These are fine for now.

And scabzzz, flip that stem over!

[318kid]

I'm Sorry the pic's are a little big, but I hope you like them!

318kid; do yourself a huge favor and get some new shifters. the ones that are integrated into the brake lever. I can't imagine still shifting on the down tube.

Got a nice little shipment yesterday. Waiting for one more and I'm ready to ride.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I like the wheelset, where did ya get it? I picked mine up at LA Bicycle. I think for around what you said yours went for.

[s0urce]

Got them from Ben's Cycle.

Just did another Wednesday night ride tonight. We did about 15 miles through St. Pete and out to Treasure Island. It's really a lot of fun riding with a bigger group.

[Jand3rson]

Damn, that Cannondale is really badass. They make some beautiful frames, I've always loved them.
