It just pisses me off because I want a black one but I don't want to pay more than a few bucks more than the othere colors.

Scabzzz, I didn't realize how much I hated the stock Windsor pedals until I put the new pedals/clips I just got on. HOLY FUCK. I feel so much more in control of pedalling now, my feet are farther forward, and held SO much better now. It feels like a new bike.

Dude, and flip that damn stem over.



BTW, here's the specs on that blue bike:

Frame:
56cm Blue TR 250
Handlebars and Stem:
Deda Newton Pista, Thompson X2
Fork and Headset:
Aerus, Aerus Comp
Front wheel:
Zipp 404
Rear wheel:

fast is relative on bikes. i could be riding that thing, and my friend who used to race would beat me on my gf's daily commuter, lol. guys that ride bikes for real with helmets and shit can usually haul ass on just about anything.

Dude, I love my bike, especially for the price. The new Windsors really are pretty good, you just have to change a couple things to make it more comfortable.

I finally won a black 55cm ebay fixie for sure. I'm 100% sure the ebay store bid against me because in all 5 auctions I won I immediately got a 2nd chance offer.

Those fucks. I guess I need to be patient when biding on mine.

That's a nice ass bike. What frame size is that? It looks a little small.

Thanks. :)

It's a bit bigger than it looks - its a 57.

[Jand3rson]

Cool bike, James. Interesting frame, I haven't seen an arched top tube like that.
