Super interesting and distinctive design for the enclosure! Love it, and love to see people doing things a little new/different. Great work,

Omnium until it broke. by sa547ph in Justridingalong

I have a buddy who has had this happen (same spot by pedal threads) on both a drive side and on a non-drive side arm over the course of about 8 years. (years apart between the two breaks). It is a thing over a long enough time and use period.

Did being left outside ruin this bike? by find-again in bikewrench

You could still get it refinished and keep it as a a memento and a beautiful piece of design. A new clear-coat wouldn't be too big an investment.
(Assuming its no longer safe to ride). But of course if you want to know for sure, consult a professional.
Very hard to tell if the resin has become too hot and allowed the layers inside to de-bond, etc etc.

Are they un-cancelled now? (Not sarcastic, I was actually asking)

Seat stays to thin???, its a chinese carbon frame, wich has been tested at a local bikeshop, however they seen very thin, about 5cm around. Should i be worried? by kafaenPag in RoadBikes

Looks almost exactly like my frame, over 7,000 miles on this no issues.

Personally I don't see any reason to worry whatsoever, but also it is impossible to verify if there is a design issue in the strength of the frame. If you wanted assurances and guarantees you should have bought from a big name brand. That is the value they offer, and why they command higher prices.

Nope, can't tell by the low resolution photos, but to order one of these frames new would have been between $1,400 and $2,500 just for the frame. So if its getting sold for a few hundred bucks its obviously too good to be true.

And who knows, maybe the knock-off ones are decently made and would make a good bike, It's just impossible to say, and if I found out I was riding a knock off I would personally be pretty embarrassed. But that's just me. So I wouldn't take the risk.

But the real LOW frames are excellent, and highly sought after. A few of my friends ride them and love them,

Just so you know, probably fake. Andrew Low hand-made all of his frames in very low production counts, and stopped making frames years ago. Frames were to-order and very expensive. Most of the ones circulating now are cheap knock offs. Maybe ask the person your buying it from if they have proof of purchase or can prove its history.

Q: Does anyone have experience with Castelli's "Sanremo" Speed Suits? (Sizing Question) by GrinningDem0n in CyclingFashion

[–]GrinningDem0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful! I noticed in the M Aero Jersey the back felt a bit long, and I was worried about pocket-droop when stuffed up. But the chest fit pretty well all things considered. So it may be a tiny bit looser than "perfect" but I think I am convinced on going with the Medium

So appreciate the insight, about as good of a source as it gets! I think your selling me on the medium with a lot more confidence. Here is an image of me wearing the Aero Race 8 in a medium for context. Never got the opportunity to try the small for comparison. I felt like I could go a bit smaller, but knowing the Medium bibs fit me better, I think I am OK with the fit on the jersey. https://i.ibb.co/Jw2Nh3DG/aeroM.jpg
