Pre, halos hawig bike natin ah. Yun lang ang frame ko eh Ti lookalike lang hehe. Mahal kasi ng orig Ti frame. Onga pala just read that the entire USPS team of Lance holds the top 8 positions in the TDF. Napapaiyak ako sa tuwa sa galing ni Lance. Supreme Idol ko talaga yan.

BM,
pareho lang ang Ti look-alike ang frame natin.

nice bike kimpoy, but the frame reminds me of those fast single-speed road-bikes i see in mba magazine. very slick but requires a very different biking style and technique daw.

medyo malikot ang steering.

ano pa sabi sa magazine sir ted

Kim,
Yung frame ko medyo may mga gasgas na eh. Kaya ba pintahan na parang Ti ulit? Hilamos baga. Di ko pa kasi kaya ung binebenta sa aking Litespeed na Ti frame.

kimpoy,

about the single-speed bikes? not much i'm afraid, only na "smooth style" ang kailangan daw pag single-speeder. (???)

the reason why i used the word "slick" was because your frame is so sleek and classic looking, it would look more elegant without the gear set... and instead have a single-speed set-up...opinion ko lang

sa comment mo re medyo malikot ang ng steering mo, how wide are your bars and how tall is your "steering post"? (i think that's what its called ):confused:

anyway, two days ago i cut off a total of 1.5 inches off my handlebar and shortened the steering post by about 1.25 inches. it is now more maneuvarable but requires a stronger grip when going fast downhill (from meralco ave down to c-5) kasi mas nagiging sensitive siya. i did the same stretch before without the modifications and it was definitely more stable. original setup kasi, awkward masyado sa slow speeds negotiating uneven road surfaces. on the whole, mas gusto ko siya ngayon...but would like to try a rough downhill road sometime for a real test!
