    Kickstarter for Fat Chance Cycles

    I have been cycling seriously since '89. Even though I'm a dyed in the wool road rider, living on the East Coast, I have always wanted Yo. Being on the seen during the culmination of the MTB was interesting while being heartbreaking, the way riders jumped ship to ride in the woods.

    I saw this over a Classic Rendezvous by a long time builder and designer. Although I do not agree that I desire or ever want a carbon bike, he brings up some good points in regards to what drives the bicycle industry. Read on. I have been reluctant to comment on the CR thread about bicycle...

    2013 Somec Rex.

    The Somec has a stiffer ride. Same geometry as the De Rosa. The seat stays are thicker on the Somec, and could add to this. I did a wheel swap and did notice compliance. That is what brought me to build up different wheels. I was told more than once that if I change out the seatpost for a...
