Rinko 2.0
Zeitgeist and rack for $100
Friend of mine is selling one of Sheldon Brown’s old bikes;
….
Seems like a good price with tires included. @LASER_BEIGE weren’t you looking for something like this
Not me?
that’s tempting for a second wheelset for the c/g i haven’t built yet
Interesting details on this one
Silver GRX group $1100
That might be the ugliest shimano group ever made and being silver does it no favors.
yeah that’s going to age like Shimano Santé
Sante was cool!
I had it on a Nishiki road bike I got from @DDYTDY that I had to admit was too small for me.
anything can have its turn to be cool on a long enough timescale
some NOS cranks could look pretty damn cool on a 1x Crust build but the white gets gouged up and grody almost immediately and flakes off in big chunks
the brake levers can get “shabby chic” beausage though, and the indexed downtube shifters would look HOT on the right paintjob
just realized that like twenty years ago I had the Sante look-compatible pedals as daily drivers, which also got kinda grimy but in an aesthetic way
how did you do all that only to leave the hoods black
idk, it was a confusing time. I was never sure if it was an elaborate troll or something I actually enjoyed. I still have the crankset somewhere though.
well, white hoods often means something else
I’d take it off your hands if you know where it is.
wow this is giving me FEELINGS
