Where is said bike in the USA? It's a big country...

Wtb SST in it's many variations. My tookas likes the super early version that is pretty much flat with the rails tucked up and with no up curve in the back and no down sloped nose. Unfortunately that version is really hard to find. Or I like the Terry Fly or Butterfly. They might not be vintage...

K. Thanks for your help. I wasn't sure if there was a set these came with. Now I got a find a decent pair of Pro's or 9000's at a decent price locally because I don't do eBay if I can help it. Been burned by eBay to many times.

I have a pair of those. Although mine don't have the Pedersen SE logo screen printed on them. That could have come off though. And mine don't come apart to overhaul them. Which is kinda why I picked up this rear suntour one because my rear one is notchy feeling. The front works great but I'd...

I just came across a set of Suntour 9000xc(?) canti brakes at the co-op today and they followed me home. (Along with a silver Campy potenza crank & BB, gloves for the lady, a vintage Trek cycling hat and a pink bottle cage, none of which I was looking for.) They're the SE brakes and I was just...

I love seeing people who make their commuter their own. Seeing bikes get used is the coolest thing ever. Dig the color too.

Is it causing a problem while shifting? I've got a a Campy Record Titanium 8 speed that is only rated for 26 or 28 tooth max cog size that I've got running a 32 tooth cog. I added a longer B screw to. But it still touches the cassette a lil but shifts just fine. Even when under pressure going...

I've never heard of something like that. The only way I can think of something working like that would be a sleeve like the bottom of a Cinelli road stem and it would only work with a stem with a wedge like that. I don't think it would work safely with the style that's the diagonal sliced wedge...

Eh, I'm just a shoot from the hip/say what you mean type of person. I was hoping for some cool pics of faggins. But I'm okay with wherever the convo goes as long as it's respectful and not talking down to anyone. If anyone else has some funny pronunciations to add that's cool. Or pics of...

I always assumed all Superset II tube sets had slightly larger down tubes with an oval shape at the bottom bracket. I just got a 1990 Bianchi Boardwalk that has a SS2 Tange decal but does not have the oval shape or larger DT. I had a made in Italy 95 Trofeo made with Deda tubing that had it. It...

I have it live on my HBO Max account. I'll admit I took a peak, like the crack addict I am, and got bored of pogacar and how boring it was. It just feels like you just get yelled at with in ears to just control the pace and keep your guy in the front or pace up to the break to catch the break at...

I've heard Ciocc as both sigh-ock and choach. So who knows 🤔 😂 I wasn't trying to prove people wrong with pronunciation in this thread. Your guess is as good as mine. 😂 I just get lots of snickers from modern bike people at group rides on the faggin. The title is just what I say to those...

On a side note, that guy at the bike shop is always correcting my pronunciation... Alahwn for Alan, Mahvic for mavic and gwer-chee-oh-tee for guerciotti. It gets annoying. It's like, I know I had a usa public education but give me a break dude. 😂

It's chromed but not polished under where it was painted. So I guess it would be NSFW if I did close up shots of it. 😂 Here's one of my good weather bikes, a 2005 Mondonico Columbus EL-OS Monza (IYKYK)with Campy bits and bobs. I'm lucky to have fancy pants bicycle's for the most part. I...

I went to a bike shop down the road from me that had a good working relationship with Bill from Torelli who was a distributor of Faggin till they went behind his back and distributed bikes directly to other shops and just shrugged when confronted about it (typical Italian business moves in my...
