You haven't heard of the fine Italian Duraace (Dur-ah-che) components. They are made in Osaka which is right outside of Rome ; )

Received my Speedplay pedals today, got a pedal wrench because I guess I've never owned one before, and my quarq should be arriving tomorrow.

TimothyH

Which Speedplay pedeals did you get?

Stupid question but do they come with cleats or do you have to buy them separate?

Muffin Man

Zero Chromoly. One set for the Evo, and one set for the Steamroller. I'm gonna get an eBay Ti spindle to ww the one that's going on the Evo. I got them at employee pricing from Speedplay, and I chose for both of them to come with the walkable cleat. All new pedals should come with cleats though.

Oh I also am getting a set of Super Record brakes for super cheap from my friend who's switching to 6870.

A big +1 to light & motion's lights!

Good to hear. Been reading lots of reviews. The Urban series seems to be highly rated at Bike Light Database. Jenson USA price matched it to the lowest price I could find in the Interwebz.

Also going to get a helmet mount Vis 360 Plus. The two lights together should be a pretty good setup for 20-25 mile rides through the Georgia countryside on warm summer nights.

x2. I really love my light and motion lights. Good mounting strap, unlike some of their competitors.

Muffin Man

I run my 800 on low all the time. I don't think I've ever needed the full 800 lumens. Also looks really good when the light is centered under my garmin mount.

Muffin Man

One of these. I've wanted a Spurcycle for a while, and even if this sucks, I'm only out $10

Went on a little online bike shopping spree and I bought two of those camelbak 25 oz water bottles, two Blackburn mountain bottle cages,a park tools chain cleaner, a lezyne road drive hand pump, and some kool stop brake pads. I felt good AF to be spending some money on bike stuff and I really needed a pump and replacement brake pads anyways

Charge spoon saddle .... cheap as chips(£17.98 from Wiggle) and rave reviews from those who own them:



and a shorter stem for my roadbike ....

Light & Motion Vis 360 Plus.

I love how Jenson USA does price match.




Also got some reflective ankle bands at the local Performance Bike.

Jeez in 'Merica french fries (or "chips" as you chaps "across the pond" call them) are much cheaper than that usually around $5 U.S. Those better be some primo "chips" if they are $25.86. Very well fried with quality truffle oil and truffle salt and a housemade ketchup (or other interesting dipping sauce).

I am probably going to buy some Wolf Tooth Components Chainring Bolts just to add a little flair to the Langster and probably to the next bike that I am looking to do (possibly a Wabi or Big Block for cheapness or maybe a Gunnar or a fixed Nature Boy 853 if I can muster the cash)

i've got one and i really like it. considering the price it's really good quality. paired with good shorts, i can go 30-40 miles without pain.

There's a lot more to the spurcycle bell's tone that the youtube uploader's mic is not catching up. In person, it sounds a whole lot more livelier with much more resonance than in the video. It's tone is very unique, after owning one, I can practically tell whenever another cyclist has one too when they ring their bell.

I actually bought the rockbros shortly after too to see whether I just overpaid for the spurcycle while a knock-off would've been just as good.
To my surprise, I most certainly got my money's worth for both bells.


The rockbros bell is great for the price you pay but if you want the magic of a spurcycle bell in person or the tingle down your spine when you first ring it after installing it, you're going to need the real deal.

SquidPuppet

Five dollar fries? Yikes. Where are you dining sir?

Muffin Man

Yeah coworker has one and it sounds super super nice, but I mean I'm just tired of saying on your left and having people move over to the left, so a bell of any sorts should help. I might eventually get a real spurcycle though, if I find myself using the bell a lot.

veganbikes

I am talking for nicer fries. I could get much cheaper fries but I am talking for the tastier more special fries you can't just get from fast food establishments.

seau grateau

I used to work at a place that made some frickin' incredible duck fat fries.

reading that really fast made me think they made some changes to the censor

Bought the Raleigh TI Professional frame that was sitting in the NOS section of Retrogression, and some black Sugino 75's for it. 1/2 this month's paycheck for bike I don't need at all but that's the trap of N+1 I guess.

Also bought one of those Alter Pista chainrings, which look pretty cool but I couldn't find any info about. So if they suck I'll let y'all know I guess.
