FRM ...fillet brazing, oh my

I'd go with FSA orbit for a rider, their ACB headsets aren't half bad. Haven't tried their 1" but their 1 1/8 makes the bike go and has a surprisingly nice feel to it. I'd also look at Cane Creek, their "40" model comes in 1" threadless and isn't much more expensive if you want something a...

For photography, I keep a turbo around. May upgrade that to a flite someday. For riding, I finally (after 60 years) got around to measuring my sit bones. "Honey, what in the everlasting **** are you doing." Now all is good. My favorite el cheapo take-off saddle is a Liv, believe it or not...

Laced up some Sachs hubs to M230 rims. Love those rims ... light and they practically build themselves. And they interface better with V brakes than the concave Campy rims I was gonna use. Those are some quiet hubs. Good for sneaking up on people. So that completes the Sachs drive train, far...

Haha mine too! "We like you please" lol. There's a pic of it somewhere on here

The problem I have with drop bars on a mountain bike frame is, it's not funny. Ape hangers on a touring motorcycle, that there's funny. Classic. "Aerodynamic!" "Well at least his pits are dry!" Apes are kind of funny on a 26er frame but then you stop and think, "Hey, that kinda works, maybe...

Yeah that fork will work. Great price for cromo. Should give ya some nice sharp steering.

Be mindful of your axle-to-crown length ("AC length"). At some point they started "correcting" the bikes geometry to allow for suspension forks ... it's not totally clear to me that they were doing that during the era of 60mm suspension forks so you're probably going to be shopping for...

There was a theory, for a while there, that humans could progress past the concept of ultimate truth, that we could find our own truth perhaps. Believing this requires that we disregard at least 4000 years of written history suggesting that there is no progress past that point, only regression...

Interesting. Serial number R038B ... Rascal didn't come out until '90, no? ETA aha found several Pinnacles on the iinternet with "R" serial numbers. Dang I might need that thing

That's what I'm wondering. Cool bike, Tsundere ... I'm in US so gotta watch those shipping costs

U brake klein Interesting. Kind of expensive but you don't come across either that frame or fork all that often, it seems

Found an old nishiki catalog that says the VTs are cast; nothing to scream about either way. The Maxy's are quite a bit lighter and look cool imo. That ARX rd doesn't quite have the capacity but long as I don't cross chain it, it's fine. May put my Mountech rd on there but, it works as is, so...

Italian?

This among other things is why I love western colorado. There's always something like this on the market.

Good call, although you'll be Jonesing for some fillet brazing before too long. Me, I'd say P-21/22 team, if I live long enough. Already have the parts for it, just need a frame.

Picked up this mixte the other day for cheap ... Thinking probably an '85 Sport. Was thinking about slapping my super maxy 50.4 bcd cranks on there just for giggles. But I'm looking at those Sugino VTs on there... they can't be *that* nice, cheap bike and all. But they sure look nice. Haven't...

Ryobi ONE Amazon

Detail (ie 2-inch) polishers are expensive, aren't they? Just yesterday found a good deal on a Ryobi combination sander/polisher, factory refurb. Haven't tried it out yet but I imagine it'll work better than my hand drill. Worth keeping any eye out for if you want to save some money

snap. thanks!
