F - photobucket! They will lose all their users and then have nobody to show their adds to. They will go out of business.

Good morning everyone. Newbie to the forum. Used to be an avid cyclist with my mountain bike until I finally discovered the glory of a road bike. After doing some research for a few months, put a down payment on a 2017 Kestrel Talon. Unfortunately they no longer make my size in the 2017 model so I'm now getting the 2018 model. Thoughts?

I destroyed my 2009 Scott CR1 Team in a bad accident last month. I love that bike. I'd love to buy another one but know it's highly unlikely that I'll ever find one as well cared for as mine before the accident.

A bike from 1981 with some modern comfort (yup, 10sp Campagnolo cassette friction shifted with Simplex Super LJ derailleur and Suntour barcons)

Still kicking.
Completely satisfied with this.

No issues with that single ring without a chain guide? I ran a similar setup on my gravel bike and everything was fine when the chain was new and clean but after a couple of months (despite normal maintenance) it started to frequently get thrown of the chainring, especially when I changed gear.

You might want to use a chainring designed for 1x setups.
