New to Tarck? Post your bike here.

I can sleep in peace now.

zunow frame looks cool

your saddle angle is shit, and dopedog 0 setback post

i think if you lurk another 3 months you might be able to start posting again

Are the bottle cage mounts missing bolts on the zunow? You should really replace those. Looks tacky.

also. that stem is not befitting of a tallbro

I don’t have beef with either. Primarily because he’s purchasing a yolo road bike from a certain company of note.

You have two bikes that do exactly the same thing.

Prolly gonna set up the yolo bike with 23s too.

He’ll probably put extra decals on the rims so they match his other bike.

Lol, sweet stem on the pink bike.

Start stretching, noob.

what terrible photos, well done.

QR lever or whatever the fuck it’s called on wrong side of pink bike front wheel

Spaceholder for the lulz

Derailer is either named after poor misspelling of a dangler or his intent is to derail every thread

Zunow makes me sad though, Jamis is whatever, but that pinkbike deserves better.

Also as a former Mid-Atlantic citizen I can safely say
Get some ducking fenders

Lastly, naming yourself after a phish reference will gain you infinite dislikes from this crowd
Except for Bahamontes, he is probably already PMing you with his favorite archived Sunday sets

Well, that’s not cool. We must be merciless, regardless of commercial gain.

yeah, it’s a slippery slope to pimping AWOLs and having bike companies fly you around teh world to ride bikes and take pictures.

I am not happy with the Zunow build, notwithstanding the stem. I’m thinking about moving the Centaur group from the Jamis to the Zunow, getting a longer stem and calling it a day. I might also try to do a period-correct build, but the only part of that plan that appeals to me is downtube shifters. Any other recommendations?

^ setback posts only, level the saddle, lower it, ride it and keep raising it until it feels right, get a 110-120mm stem. Old parts in general either don’t work well or are heavy so unless you want your bike to suck I’d suggest modern components. Your bikes suck right now and it’s your job to un suck them, I’d start with that zunow.

Thanks. I like this place. I’ve been meaning to up my Zunow game for a while, but you all have shamed me into actually doing something about it. Anyone want to sell/recommend a decent quill stem for the Zunow?

Nitto Technomic? It has exactly zero bike geek cred, but is still made new in all kinds of lengthways and is finished decently well.

salsa
nitto
serotta/ibis
cinelli
something hand made by eric estlund / winter bicycles

Technomics are heavy as fuck. Do a 26mm clamp stem, ITM professional, most 3TTT models, don’t use cinelli (flex, inconsistent clamp dia), nitto is nice but heavier than 3T or an ITM professional. Salsa and other welded stems will look like dook IMO
