New Bike

[kdskaggs]

How long have you had the bike? My 18-year chose magenta for me. Personally, I liked the reds and purples!

I'm with you, scratches show that you ride your bike!

I bought the frame in late 2001 along with the head set and seat post. I put he rest of it together with parts from my previous bike.

I still have the headset, seat post and saddle but everything else has been replaced since. She now has a campy drive train (centuar/veloce), phil wood hubs and BB, shimano cantis and cassette (campy cassettes are too narrow for phil wood hubs but shimano 10 speed cassettes work with campy 10 speed shifters), and nitto mod 177 handlebars, size 48cm.

This wasn't a factor in my decision, but when I bought my car, I realized it matched my bike. If you have a choice, you should always buy a car that matches your bike.
