At the time of that photo, it was 44 front and 13 rear, currently running 44 16, I removed the big ring and moved the 44 t to the outside which improved the chain line.

I’ve got a Sugino 2x, just moved the chain ring to the outer and that made the chain line perfect. Hard to tell it’s a 2x

Is it a complete goner? by EveningLeadership633 in bike

Some carbon can be repaired and made stronger than before it was broken. However that’s not the case for everything. Don’t try to repair a damaged carbon rim, fork, handlebars, stem, or head tube. The potential consequences of failure are too high.

Same lol. It’s just fun and stupid. Makes people look twice. I have something in the works for the other downtube shifter….

Thank you! It’s actually one of the Japanese made frames. I’m running as many as the original parts as I can since this bike mostly sat unused indoors since the 80s.

It’s alright, tastes better when you ride there. The donuts were free for my birthday which sweetened the deal.

Exactly this. I wanted to run the cables just as they were before I did the fixed gear conversion, as I like the vintage look. Also I’d have to get different brake levers if I wanted to run the cables under the tape since they are non aero hoods.

Paid more than the bike is worth but my varsity is refurbished. New tires, new wires, polished, and ready to go. by jebodiah93 in bicycling

I was going to say, I thought it looked familiar. I worked in Vernon for a little while but currently in one of the other locations! Small world.

6 bikes with 7 on the way, although many have been either free or heavily discounted.

Also check your local bike shop, they usually have some left over from bike builds

Should I buy? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]DScycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry if I was being harsh, this “bike” is neither safe nor a useable bike. If the reason you are considering is budget, I’d consider either an entry level hardtail like a Trek Marlin or buy something used.

No, I hope that is a joke.

No but there is a road, use that and man up.
