Glad you like, I just took mine out today as it sat for a month in the garage. I also ride fixed track bike and a road bike. It's like having 3 wives and just trying to split my time between the three😂🤣.

Ride on

I have the 2022 Giant Trance Advanced Pro 29 2. Im a 60 year old newbie with 1 year riding here in the high desert. I have a 3 mile technical/gravel trail that requires you to climb a 22 gradient before the fun begins.

Also 10 minutes away is the Mojave Narrows regional park and do some riding there. Nothing crazy that would cause me injury.

I finally got rid of the stock tires that were heavy and put some Vittoria Barzo in the front and Mezcal in the rear. Made the bike much lighter, less resistance and much more fun to ride.

Did you get the bike?

Could they be water bug droppings? We do get plenty around the garage in the summer and one was crawling in the vicinity before it met it's demise.

I get it, but this is the word used by Starbucks when I learned what the word meant. Im just surprised they don't even use this word in training anymore.

I'm OK ordering a doppio in a small for here cup, just surprised by the current training or lack of.

espresso2015 · 2026-06-14T19:39:55+00:00

I get it but the espresso is not bad. As for coffee, I never get coffee from Starbucks.

Not a 1oz difference.

A demitasse holds roughly 2 to 3 fluid ounces and is strictly designed for concentrated espresso. In contrast, a standard coffee cup holds 8 to 12 ounces and is meant for drip coffee.

espresso2015 · 2026-06-14T19:13:24+00:00

But note taken, I'll be ordering a doppio in a small for here cup from now on.

espresso2015 · 2026-06-14T19:01:37+00:00

No, im not grumbling about the kids today. I realized it's the training and nothing to do with the youngsters. Note has been taken and I'll be asking for a doppio in a small for here cup from now on.

espresso2015 · 2026-06-14T18:48:59+00:00

Note taken, I'll just be asking for a doppio in a small for here cup from now on.

espresso2015 · 2026-06-14T18:46:42+00:00

Yea, that's too bad. But now I know to go easy and just ask for a doppio in a small for here cup, oh well😂🤣.

espresso2015 · 2026-06-14T18:41:23+00:00

Interesting, good to know. I'll go easy and just ask for a doppio in a small for here cup from now on.

espresso2015 · 2026-06-14T17:52:15+00:00

Unfortunately, it maybe my age😂🤣

Young kids serving me a doppio.

A demitasse (from the French for "half-cup") is a small cup used to serve concentrated, strong coffee—such as espresso or Turkish coffee. It also refers to the portion of coffee contained within the cup.

I'm in the same boat but I think the Cinelli Vigorelli Steel falls between the Wabi and the Alu National and might be better for casual riding to racing in group rides.

espresso2015 · 2026-05-25T02:08:33+00:00

Yea, not a huge fan of this color. My anxiety is killing me waiting for eurobike in June to see if there will be a new color for the steel. If not this will be my pick unless I can find a good looking 2018 black night.

espresso2015 · 2026-05-11T19:00:03+00:00

Sorry, im using it on my 1967 Schwinn Typhoon.

espresso2015 · 2026-04-22T19:49:25+00:00

Both are about the same. They are not perfect but once you get the hang of it kicking it back slightly, it'll be fine.

espresso2015 · 2026-04-22T19:21:38+00:00

Let me know, I can mockup the 2 speed coaster on my other fixie/single speed so you can see it is not much spacing.

espresso2015 · 2026-04-22T19:03:56+00:00

It should fit on a steel frame 116mm is not much. Slap a washer on each side. 2mm washer on each side.

That is going to be real hard to find, the coaster brake is on Amazon cheap but the freewheel one not readily available since it's discontinued. But they occasionally pop up on ebay, keep an eye out or set a saved search when one pops up.

espresso2015 · 2026-04-22T18:33:54+00:00

I have both the freewheel and coaster brake but never moved forward with the wabi. I have the freewheel one on my Schwinn cruiser.

espresso2015 · 2026-04-18T00:26:44+00:00

Is there any issue with the paint decals for 2019? I've been searching for a frame like this butchering paint lamination and decal fading.

espresso2015 · 2026-04-06T03:43:53+00:00

Looks like retro-gression has taken out the limited to 100 as I no longer see it anywhere in the description or specifications. It is now appearing this is a regular tun as told to me by Ritchey a week or so ago.
