F-in' A.... Ding, ding, ding.... We have a winner! Mark

Brian, I hear what you're saying. I just question which is your bigger advantage, the hand angle, or the bar width? I am going to take a 46 cm bar and attempt to bend the drops out, like what you have, but keep the narrower profile bar. I find that as I meld with the bike, I don't need that...

I modified a Camelback to hang on the back of my seat. It solves many problems, water totage, tool hauling and the aforementioned pump. Mark

This thread is worthless without pictures. Beg, borrow, steal a camera. They're a buck niney nine at wally world. Mark

F-in' A.... Ding, ding, F-in' A.... Ding, ding, ding.... We have a winner! Mark

I'll vouch for the C-Dale, it rides pretty darned good. You notice the stiff rearend, but not adversely. Mark

I believe wheel hop is the word the layman would look for. I understand what you're saying, but can't imagine it in practice, not on a bicycle. John says he recalls it happening, so I have to believe. After all, I drank the Kool-Aid :shock: :lol: :lol: Mark

Your frameset is a whole lot less fun than Nanda's?!!? :lol: :lol: Mark

Rob, or should I say Buffalo Seabass; 'Bout time you got caught up with some of those pictures you've been promising! ;) :lol: Mark

Bitchin', let's see 'em! Mark

He has a new bike with new mods. I suspect he would ride if hell were frozen over. :lol: Mark

Probably alright for the volume of traffic right now. I frequent some forums that are huge and require more moderators to keep things civil and weed out troublemakers. Brian seems to do well with his forum and just a couple people helping him. I think you're good on this one. Thanks for...

Bravo!!! Nicely done, Robert! That looks real good, thanks for sharing! Mark

That's cheap enough... What did that weigh after you got it built up? That's my only source of complaint is the weight of these inexpensive bikes. Even my Pacific, which is aluminum, is made of such thick tubing that it still weighs more than a high quality steel bike. Mark

That is a nice looking bike. I sure wouldn't mind taking that one around the block. John, what do you mean by "tramp" and "kick"? I'm not familiar with those terms in the context of cycling . Mark

John, I looked up the amendments you made to your Silvio info pages. I'm confused, which is normal, but Brian put a triple on his bike with no issues. Did Doug run into problems on his Campy build? Mark

I have a 46 cm bar I was planning to use when I get my Silvio. I was playing around with it last night and think definitely that last two inches of the drop can be chopped off. I'm going to try bending some old bars, too and see if I can't come up with something like what Brian has, but not...

He posted on his website 5.4 pounds, but I still say that weight is skewed. I saw the head badge in at least three of the pictures.... ;) :lol: Mark

You get sub 300 you should be alright, especially with a quality 26" mtb frame and wheels. Those are pretty bulletproof, you can beat them to death off road, withstanding jumps and stuff... They'll stand up just fine to what you're doing. For road riding (assuming you are riding road), you...
