Good to know! I do most of my riding on tarmac and as much as I like GRX on paper, I still haven't ridden a bike equipped with it and it's what I'm leaning towards for the next bike.

I thought I...

You're the first person I've heard from on the ekar gruppo. Was super interested in giving it a try, as the only modern campy drivetrain I've ridden is Veloce. I honestly can't see myself using much...

15?! Hahaha I was starting to feel bad about the space I was taking with my stable of 7. Granted that's 11 with the girlfriend's added in, and I still need a gravel style do everything, but I'll...

I totally agree about the price and availability. I guess there's only so many ways to repackage the question until I'm willing to concede that this may, in fact, be a very passing phase in the...

So I suppose I have a follow up question as to whether anyone thinks there would be more interest in an analog version of the rear hub. Not sure if that could easily be internally routed in a way...

Agreed

All valid things to me. Despite how cool I think the tech is, adding a battery to both the hub and shifter and needing batteries/charging sounds like a drag, and the price point being astronomical...

Holy cow, this already exists? The Classified hub made me wonder if it could be done on an old 3 speed internal hub, and this is exactly the thing I was dreaming about! I knew there was no way my...

The End of the Front Derailleur?

I've been mostly into vintage bikes for aesthetics and bang for buck ride quality, so I've never really been one to keep up on new bike tech and the latest trends, but my brother sent me something...

I can play this game!

I have a 1986ish Fuji Del Rey with Suntour LePree shifters/derailleurs, and 27x1 1/8 tires. Sugino crank, nitto stem, and dia compe brakes. Just too big for me. 58 cm frame.

Would love to have...

Took the plunge....twice

I went for it despite the totally unreadable geometry charts. Got the Tiagra build Framed Savona last year and it's been awesome. Comfortable, stiff, light, had a skinnier down tube than some of the...

This year

Found a product called gear floss and I'm absolutely hooked. Hard to beat for cleaning brackets and cassettes, and reasonably affordable. Anyone else using it or something similar?

Other than...

About that paint job...

Man I was pretty drooly over last year's Kona Libre DL specifically for that super clean copper paint job. Not necessarily even my speed of must have bike, but some of Kona's paint choices are on...

Saline, eh?

Sounds like a rad bike! Funny story, you posted this reply as I was posting to Craigslist to sell (honestly what are the odds?) a 1982 Lotus Eclair touring bike with the Shimano 600 Arabesque group!...

​​​​​​See that's why I was having trouble figuring out the year it was built. I did find it strange that the model matched the groupset, but that aside, I was checking through the model years and it...

What a coincidence!

Well let's hope someone else is checking in on old threads, but I had a couple questions about a Bianchi I just picked up and it looks almost identical to this late 90s blue frame. I've been digging...

Hello from Michigan!

Hey guys! Been redirected to this forum so many times while researching bikes that it finally was time for an account. I'm a relatively new rider (4 seasons in?), and recently have been obsessing...
