and like that my stable is going from 4 to 5 and #5 is a mtb with tires that start with a 2
Im not gonna hate on a stable that is full of functional bikes that all serve specific purposes. I am going to hate on a stable that has like 3 of the same bike for vanity purposes.

get a sliver headset/spaces for purp bike[/quote]
noted. its getting a black seatpost and stem once i decide what i want
also, i would say each has a pretty distinct purpose
-bianchi is a commuter/touring bike
-purple bike is for going fast in a line or crowd of like-minded people
-basso is something i can stare at while drinking an americano at the coffee shop
just got rid of my mtb. after shredding on it for two years, i realized having a fork w/ lockout and a frame that fit me was a better idea than what i had. stayin on the hunt 4sure, but living in downtown sacramento means i have a minimum of 25 miles to go before i get ahold of semi-decent trails.
the bianchi allows me to get on much closer bunny trails, and for now thatâs good enough for me
if youâre not riding bikes for vanity (at least a little), THEN WHY EVEN RIDE BIKES
exploring? health? gtfo, Liberace.
Bro, Vanity my legs and butt. Or you know, do a vanity bike correct #naterod.
because itâs fun?
Lovinâ the purp, newguy.
My advice
[list=1]
[]Move the levers down a smidge
[]Sell the Basso
[]Use that dough to buy silver spacers and a better seatpost and stem.
[]Sip your Americano and look at the purple biek.
[/list]
^solid advice. Splatter looks better than Basso, and could look better.

Thanks! I was looking at swapping them out for a thomson x2/elite setback. im a shop bro, so ritchey/deda/zipp are also in play.
Zipp donât do silver, right? And thomson can GTFO. Deda would be most on-brand with the Campy.

yeah, but 35 miles gets you to foresthill in auburn, which is awesome riding for all types of knobby tired bikes.

yeah that is reasonable and respectable
but im sooooo lazy when it comes to driving somewhere to ride my bike
if you ever feel willing to shuttle a novice through some trails, you know who to contact 
Or Ritchey classic with ugly logos stripped off.
23, 25, 28- whats the problem?
If that was in response to tires sizes that start with two I think most of just let that dog lie. Funny but retroactively so now that someone finally laughed.
posting to accumulate internet dick points, but mostly to thank Endpoint.
Endpoint hivis jam with scrap heap group: Sram compact crank, Shimano 105 RD, DA FD, DA shifters, cx77, etc. etc.
havenât dicked with anything yet, seat needs to be centered on rails, needs real pedals, some racks, and bags.
old joint
Well, itâs a pile of things, but at least itâs a good pile of things.
You need a Thomson post.
Shop Guy: How can I help you today sir?
New Guy: I am interested in purchasing a pile of things.
Shop Guy: And which things are you interested in sir?
New Guy: That pile over there to the left.
Shop Guy: Sir has an eye for fine piles of things. Can I interest you in a Thomson post?
