Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Its amazing how many 5 star reviews people never even rode them. They just go on and on how they look. Obviously they don’t realize the death trap they just installed on their bike. Anyways, the true cyclist, give it one stars and all experienced catastrophe failure.
You can get pretty much any fit you want, fairly light with alloy. You don't have to worry about overtorquing them or scratching them. Or smashing them into cars, etc.

console yourself that the e-type will be much, much higher maintenance than your wife.

Oooh, I love the look of the new Bauhaus vinyl.



Even the @Velo Vol approved format looks good.

I wouldn't buy a cassette today (we're in the digital age, obv.), but it does beat a record.

Actually, that might be the poster that comes with it, hard to tell from product descriptions.

I used standard Jagwire 5mm brake housing. I don't think that caliper has any special needs.

I've got carbon posts and carbon bars. None of them were purchased without provenance.

Also, it had a small block Chevy installed but didn't look completed. It made me feel sad (a little).

Found it and it is chopped in the rear, too.

Seems like it would work if the rotor is the same diameter and position.
