BIKE CHECK Cinelli Vigorelli

May 5th, 2010

So here it is..the long overdue bikecheck of my new CINELLI VIGORELLI

Pretty classic setup: Phil hubs laced to Velocity rims (thats what most of us are rocking), Sugino 75 Keirin Crankset and Chainring, Cinelli Track Stem, Bars and Seatpost, Selle San Marco Saddle.

Yes it was a rough winter!

Vittoria Randonneurs 32mm are the shit.

Phil Wood for LIFE!

Fucked up…

Toshi Keirin Straps, too lazy to mount properly…

FOR THE CITY San Francisco represent!!

Home is where the heart is.

BIKE CHECK Colnago

April 23rd, 2010

So, the word on the street is that another Gent has been mouthing off about posting a BIKE CHECK post for a while now.

Here is NOT his Bike Check, but mine:

I ride a COLNAGO DREAM Frame (Columbus Airplane Tube Set).  I know of ONE other frame like this, but that one is prolly in someone’s collection to be ridden on the track, so out on the street, it’s definitely the hottest bike!

WOW.

So lets get into it:

KALLOY UNO Ultralite Riser, Pedal Gent Standard OURY Grips, and a 70mm THOMSON Stem gripping the Carbon Colnago Fork.

As you can see I ride 36h Phil Wood Hubs laced to Velocity Deep-V Rims – also a Pedal Gent Standard.

The Saddle is a Selle SAN MARCO Rolls DUE Saddle strapped into a Miche SUPERTYPE seatpost.

Something special right here, Powdercoated Campagnolo Record Pista Crankset in BLACK: 170mm. Campagnolo Record BB. Gold KMC Chain Z-410.

Campagnolo Record Super Leggeri Pedals & Toe clips. Double Straps (Real shitty ones).

Gearing: 50/17

Awesome Stem.

Not so awesome CRACK in the plate. Oh oh. Within the next few days I hope to send it back to Thomson and hopefully get a replacement Plate. I’ll keep ya posted on how that’s going.

At this point I have to shout out the HUTCHINSONs I’ve been riding. They are MAD GOOD. I’ve been riding them for almost a year and you can hardly tell!

A+ Recommendation though they might be a bit pricey, I wouldn’t know cuz I got’em fo’ free!

I’ll leave you with this shot of the “headbadge” and the incredible low clearance of the fork
