This was my immediate instinct

I chickened out and bought a new 8s campag cassette rather than go full money cannon with cues and a new rear wheel.

Those twin six rando frames are bad right? I don’t need a purple one with matchy fenders and it wouldn’t look amazing with Ferg’s pink King qr hubs too right?

I guess PF BB could be a deal breaker. Too many damn bikes.

Didn’t they have cro-mo main triangle and hi-ten other bits? Bonus points for the purple rain look tho

this bike is on marketplace for $2,200 near me. I’m weirdly tempted but WTH carbon fork WTH unfiled brazes look bad WTH thinking about buying a $2,200 single speed

xpost

i think i would pay 400 for that

That’s easily a $500 work order if things go slightly sideways though.

Edit: maybe more since that drivetrain is likely smoked.

I saw that posted 10/30/21 on facebook marketplace

If it’s the same guy, maybe you can use that to talk him down a bit.

haha, I think this was the guy who originally won the raffle. it was posted by someone else this time. I talked myself out of buying it successfully

Talk me out of selling my Emonda ALR for a Giant TCX 2021 with the idea of fucking around with the OD2 upper bearing into OD1 bearing to accomodate a crab fork with tiny nitto rack. Or should I give up and Coffee Grinder.

Does that Giant have the cruddy wedge post binder?

no, that sounds like a great dither which would entertain us for at least a few days.
