I saw complaints about PDC a ways up, and thought I'd counter with some good experience. A friend of mine managed to kink the downtube on one of Dave's frames by nose casing a 30' double (at Jeremy Ball's spot). Dave's welds survived the wreck unscathed, ... more »

I used to buy really light stuff. At one point my bike was down to ~22 lbs, but it started to feel super sketchy in the air. I started swapping in heavier parts when I noticed that my brother's stock complete somehow felt better through the rhythms at ... more »

Here's a picture finally!

No breaks right now. I'll probably put them back on once I get the new wheels laced up this weekend.

That's odd, I've had them for a few years and no problem with that. One of my spindles is a little bent though. @grumpySteve your bike check was actually the inspiration for rawing mine. Really liking it!
