That shit is so expensive for a single leather strap.


i bought a black leather strap + black cage combo at my lbs for $15. they've held up fine.

just got back from a 18 mile ride with the bro. my ass is killing me.

Any toe strap recommendations


I recommend Hold Fasts for anything long rides, short rides, tricks, anything they are comfy

I left my pump at my old house and my chain lube so I need to do that, and cut that seat tube. Here it is though.


That thing looks mean, personally I am glad you put gold on it. How much did you snag your frameset for?

+1 to both of these. i ran a gatorskin in the front and a randonneur in the rear. i skidded the shit outta the randonneur for a while. had em for 6 months probably. still had plenty of life but i replaced it with a gatorskin just recently.

What's your price range? If you wanna stay sub 200, cop some Deep V's.

Check craigslist/eBay, best bet.

I'm not really informed in Hubs so I'm not going to misinform you, but as for rims if you're doing anything besides tricking cop some H+Son Formation Faces!

Just picked up for $260.
Looking forward to make some adjustments (preferably seats first, shit sucks)

Anyone recommend me a new seat?
& are gatorskins any good or should I just pick up some cheap michelins to fuck with

Not trying to talk shit. But why insult the Vigorelli with Sugino Messengers? Put some 75s on that beast. Clean ass frame though. What kid of hubs you got laced to those B43s?

Yeah silver would look way cleaner.

Are you saying you'd rather have a corny ass color scheme than legit ass parts?

75's are expensive, especially in relation to how cheap I got the messengers from my LBS. One day I'll probably upgrade to set of 75's at some point but I'm happy enough for now
