    You're not cool until you have this on your Boxxer.

    EJ is pretty good with those decals - I have a chainstay protector that is a naked chick stretching out - no censoring though - nips in cleear view. hah.

    New offerings from Trek and C'dale

    I know at least on the R3 that the seatstays are only there to meet UCI frame design regulations - the bike was designed without them being needed structurally. SuperSix at the shop today has a similar look.. its plenty stiff laterally, but soakes up the bumps nicely.

    steel/carbon....new frame

    A specific multi-part epoxy for bonding carbon to steel/aluminum. From 3M. Thanks!

    steel/carbon....new frame

    I would be asking $1250 shipped in the US. But it is not a stock thing.. Ryan chose his own geometry. It really looks great in person. I hope it looks really great rolling over finish lines...

    LOL! UN-pimp your ride yo.

    those are, by far, some of the best commercials I have ever seen. I saw one of those gti's in white in rochester the other day, its a sharp car in person. still had the plastic on it.

    3.72lb steel/carbon HT

    if by adds weight you mean removes it, then yes. The carbon with its stainless lug weighs less than its comparable truetemper ox platinum stay.

    Thread of limited audience: Solidworks

    I rock my student edition of 05. I never model anything cool asides from stupid class-work cars and bikes. however, we are contemplating designing and building a little sports car this summer. I'm starting now. can anyone confirm 05-06 compatibility?

    Giant Glory info

    I am surprised no one has suggested that the 1.5 lower/1.125" upper would be effective for reduced head tube ovalization. As most frames that do ovalize do so on the lower cup, by going to a larger bearing/interface you would likely reduce such an issue. That is in NO way a thumbs up for the...

    So, i don't know if you noticed -> bottom brackets

    as for pressing in the bearings, I think the only issue is that the spindles are wider... ie - can you make a better chainline with existing stuff, or do you need a spindle? Because I am making my trail frame and am considering this as a solution.

    Sell dare to buy Canfield Bros. f1 a good idea?

    true, shorter than his dare's 17.5" chainstay now. Hmm. In that case, we should not use DHS's bike at all for comparision, chris i think you've got 30-40lbs on him.. might just be making the bike sag more than you care. BMdubs are sweet. that is true for sure.

    So, i don't know if you noticed -> bottom brackets

    Cannondales SI crankset is ONLY available for their SI bottom bracket standard. IT was only created and used on team bikes to reduce wieght and increase stiffness... too expensive to bring to a market. So in a sense, you can eliminate that as a "Standard" as only ONE crank works for it. Euro...

    Sell dare to buy Canfield Bros. f1 a good idea?

    Chris for your style, I don't think the brooklyn will fly. It's got some long ass chainstays. are you only looking at the canfield? what about an M3 as shown before? what about a V10? clearly the same but perhaps a brand issue for you. what about cannondales new gracia? Demo? CLifcat...
