That was my shop that was selling those - I got a few more still in the boxes @ $100.
Trek 1500 63cm
Lololol.
so many lols
donāt you have two other not-shitty roadies? why would you buy that trek turd?
Its really not that bad. Light and cheap is what I wanted for this parts bin build. Iāve got a 97 litespeed and 96 Ti serotta(not built) that I dont feel like beating on.
Got some bikes and frames ready for the bike swap tomorrow. Iāll probably be hauling 90% of them home because my prices are too high. Iām OK with this.
fuck chinese carbon clinchers. Worst wheels I have ever fucking mounted a tire to. Are all carbon clinchers this fucking terrible to mount tires to or just mine?
Started pulling stuff out today for the same reason. But I havenāt priced it yet. Fuck, I am taking sooo much stuff I really hope a lot of it sells cos Iām sick of dealing with it in my teeny tiny shed. Probably gonna have to price stuff low to try and facilitate that. And have a big freebie box. Blakey, buy my stuff!
Tc- Should just throw it all in a bonfire.
Also, hereās a pre-emptive āfuck youā for the hagglers.
Canāt buy, will be getting on a plane.
zipp firecrests are super nice to mount tires. So easy.
Actually rode the damn thing; put on new pro vibe 7 seat post.
Evidently a) i am out of shape, and b) had slight fixie saddle angle, so no wonder I felt more pressure on the wrists. Need to level that off.
(I only noticed it after looking at pics of bike on my phone once I returned home).
Hauled 50% of it home. Sold some broken ass old shit with a little bit of life left in it. Bought some broken ass old shit with a little bit of life left in it. Big Splurge: Ultegra 10sp 11-25 cassette, NIB. Best buy: Nishiki Colorado from jimmyās basement, Shimano 105 brake only levers for $10, nearly new.
sold a few hundred bucks of crap including my hilariously bad Elixir CRs
it was hilarious all us dirtbag kids were over in a corner together in a contiguous stretch of booths
ended up $300 behind, bought:
[list]
[]rare stems: 120mm Dura Ace quill, 120mm steel 1 1/8" Titec, 130mm titanium 1" specialized
[]a swift industries ozette bag that needs a tiedown method added, was looking all over for them during setup but it turned out we were sharing a booth with them, actually bargained him up on it
[]another pair of amazeballs 28mm Ultremo ZX tires from some italian guys for less than euro street price, they said they have cases of them and do group buy discounts: http://www.tiremaniacs.com/schwalbe_ultremo_zx_700x28c-details.aspx
[]Paul V-brake levers sealed-in-bag for 1/4 MSRP
[]asked $30 for something and got traded some Time RXS Carbon pedals with 2 pairs of cleats worth double that (adding to my hoard of two pairs of each)
[]an awesome 90s Mavic headset for my ALAN so itāll have all-mavic balleurtowne bearings
[]a Tufo tubular to keep as a reliable spare that I hopefully never use
[]some funny-colored leather mudflaps that will perfectly match the TAF paint job on my Elephant
[*]exactly the Honjos I was gonna get for the Elephant at half-price (though need to go pick up the hardware from him)
[/list]
Bought some DA7800 cranks from a wc-level messenger we call Treebeard (he calls me Quickbeam) thinking they were 180s but actually 175s, will need to resell
A dude that was prob 7ā1" came over to our booth with his 6ā9" buddy looking for long cranks, told him I just sold the pair of 180s Iād brought, had tallcrĆ¼ chat for a while and realized I left my 190s at home that I should sell, gave him my email.

protip: donāt put price stickers on things, itās a pain in the ass to do and leads to fewer sales

If you end up not wanting it, let me know. I want.
Bike swap at the table with Fred. I sold a bunch of shit thatās been sitting in my bike bin since last year and not worth commenting on. I walked out with
[list]
[]Almost new square taper Sugino cranks 48/38/28 (Thanks Andrew Squirrel)
[]Purple ano straddle cable hangers for XO
[]4x Ultremo ZX tires at insane stupid price ($30 ea) - 28mm sizeway (see Freds post above)
[]Campagnolo Chorus 11s shakes for $150
[/list]
Also walked out of there with $6 more than I walked in there with and with a pile of bike crap I was never going to use again. I consider it a success.
Picked up some
- Nitto Dirt Drop RM013 bars (from Fred)
- Rodriguez Big Squeeze Brakes ā great condition (after cleaning) , came with Scott Mathauser Cantilever Brake Pads
- Dura Ace RD-7800 GS (medium cage). Very happy

Iām not gonna be there, though. Just lending my truck to a guy who will be selling on my behalf. Kinda sucks cos Iād like to see if thereās anything I want to buy.
