Let’s get this thread back on track.

No, let’s go back to a bike that doesn’t blow.

Lookin sharp, RF.

How was this thread of track?
We were discussing a cool new guy’s cool new bike when a lame new guy posted his turd-special.
What’s this thread for anyway?
I feel like it’s brought more cool new dudes than lame ones.

It’s their Classic model. I think it’s called the Classic Curve, or something like that. I wanted something with “flat” ramps that would offer a smooth transition to the hoods. Oh, and I wanted Silver and a 31.8mm diameter. That meant I had like 2-3 bars to choose from. It’s a pity that Nitto doesn’t offer any of their 31.8 bars wider than 42cm (the Ritcheys are 44cm).

yeah, it’s really a bummer those bars and the matching stem are as pricey as they are.

oogens · May 7, 2011, 7:41pm

this, because they’d be perfect on my bike

I rode the dirt portion of my commute today, and the Vaya is an absolute blast! I simply cannot understand why some people say the road BB7s perform worse than canti’s. The difference between the discs and my Shimano BR-R550’s is like night and day.

BB7s are fantastic and if you use Yokozuna housing on em they’re almost comparable to hydros, IMO.

Probs gonna do this on the Shawver, but it will be hydro-ready anyway just in case

motorbacon · May 9, 2011, 11:30pm

I love my bb7’s. Sadly I dropped down to road BB5’s so I could swap to drops on the mtb, but yeah, bb7’s with good housing are le tits.

Also, why the fuck don’t they make the classic seatpost in 28.6. Doesn’t make sense to turn their back on inner diameter of tubing they used for so long

dickiw.

For not much more you could get the dark metal Deda Zero 100 shit which is much more balleur.

curiousincident · May 10, 2011, 10:22pm

true but somewhat beside the point. i don’t need it to be balleur, i need it to be silver and affordable.

jimmythefly · May 10, 2011, 11:07pm

Origin 8?

I know they’ve got a reasonable silver OS stem, too, but don’t have a pic on their site(only show the 35deg. version).

I assume you’re specifically looking for 31.8 stuff.

RJ1 · May 11, 2011, 4:09am

Does not out of control.

oogens · May 12, 2011, 8:29am

i’d like somewhere between deda-hundreds-of-dolllars and origin8-bullshit-party

until then, my black ritchey stays
