Hey, we can't help it if the narrow tired (and narrow minded) have nothing to post.  At least the mtb. crowd is giving us some pics to look at!

 I can't say that I made that connection.

Nope I was wondering where his 700C front wheel is.

Holy sh**!  You've got a seat post thing!

I think that was the actual name of that spring.  I forgot I ever had one.

Hite-Rite was the name of the "seat post thing."

I had one on my old MTBs - made on-the-fly adjustment of seat height very simple.

I just can't take my eyes off the Renovo bikes - and if you look at the testing they do, wood sure looks good!

Why not?

I've been kicking the idea of making my own frame for a while, it's been a toss up between wood or carbon fiber. Either way I'll need to wait until next summer when I get my own shop set up, my parent's patience with my projects when i am home has worn quite thin...

Neither wood or CF does a thing for me in a bike frame. Woodworking is another one of my interests, for the last 30 years anyway. But for a bike frame it leaves me cold. There was a guy who rode a wood lugged bike @ D2R2 this year.

That's why they come in all shapes, sizes and materials I guess. So everyone can find something they like.....

I'm just dumbfounded by the thing... I mean, one of my friends makes boats out of some kind of wood laminate, and says it's stronger and lighter than fiberglass(and more cost-effective than CF?)... but I never thought of such a thing for a bike.   Sort of amazing to look at a road bike with such a nice finish(that apparently rides well too).

I also like what this guy does... not a road bike, but the quality of work is amazing and it's made of steel!:

Frames are meh.     Build an AERO  fork with discs and integrated (but replaceable) aero fenders. 

Heck, build an aero caliper fork with integrated but replaceable aero fenders and sell it as a winter triathlon trainer -> $$$.

Now on Mondays.

You know what else is kinda nice looking to my eyes? 

Italian-look-alike Asian steel frames <cough>Univega</cough> bumped up with modern comps.

Of course, I don't get to talk.   My current project is a city Valuas step-through getting 100% Suntour.

Now on Mondays.
