Bike looks good bro. I'm a farely big dude, so I didnt modify the bars very much if I did at all and its the wider of the 2 available in the El Torro line. I have swimmer body, broad shoulders. Best of times riding with those bars, so many memories. Enjoy em bro!

Added the Selle Italia Turbo saddle. Thats it. Same shit as always. Plus a big nasty top tube dent and scratch :up:

we need to plan shit

Nothing has changed on my bike. I want new cranks and a new stem.

[Turf1600]

My bike is such a pile. I need new tires tomorrow and I think my bottom bracket is getting noisy. Is it normal for a 13t cog to be noisy?

[Jand3rson]

How is your chain tension? Too tight, and you'll get a lot of noise.

your chain could have a lot of dirt in it, or it could be dry.

[Turf1600]

The chain is new, clean and well lubed. I think the cog is just tiny.

I did get new tires, though.

eh got this bike during summer. I've put ~700 miles on it so far. I ride it to/from class every day plus weekend rides :D

Paint is actually really bad, haven't decided what I should do.

MB shifters, flat bar, fatty 700x28 tires, and ride the fuck out of it until it dies.

:( noooo. I like my skinny tires and campy bling :D

but I have been riding it a bunch. hopefully more when it stops raining

I'm thinking about trading my bike for a KHS Urban Uno, but keeping my wheelset, seat post, saddle, bars and pedals. It's at a local new/consignment sports shop, but it's a brand new bike. The guy there told me to bring my bike down, and we'd talk over swapping parts between them, or working something out.



They can keep their silly fenders, too. I think this bike would look sick stripped of all the crap, and with my wheelset, and my bars/seatpost/saddle.

you can never have too much fender
