Those pictures were straight from da Vinci's website. The three holes are to accommodate the growing legs of stokers. (BTW: da Vinci is great-- they repainted a vintage Serotta for me. I highly recommend them if you live in Denver and need repainting.) Here are pix

Evan, Thanks a bunch for alerting me to David's FS post. I have sent him a PM. In a long run I want to have a bit more fancier one. But Suntour XC will likely look fancy enough once I see it. Besides, it comes with a 40t chainring, which is probably the only chainring I'll need for a

That is a lovely setup, Bones. My Roadini has a dirt drop stem and Nitto noodles with the IRD stem mount shifter clamp and Silver shifters. Currently has the Silver wide low double and an 11-28 cassette. On Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 7:21:05 AM UTC-7 abraham nussbaum wrote: > I run a da

Ash, If you search “FS - Suntour XC, XT, Dura Ace, Tires, etc.” on the iBOB list, you’ll find a Sugino AT crankset, 170, offered from listmember David KW for $50. The AT is a triple, but of course you could run it as a compact double. If you search for “Spa Cycles XD-2 Touring Cranks“ you’ll

All, much appreciate all the recos. Now I know what to hunt for (if I choose to go the classics route on eBay) or budget for (IRD/VO). The Silver cranks are superb, but I feel that it better suites (in terms of aesthetics) a country bike like Sam or Atlantis. In the past I have seen some

I'd suggest contacting Analog cycles and inquire about Middleburn crank options for the chainrings you want. Tastes and fitness vary and you are not I, but I strongly suggest a subcompact double that is sort of a one by with bail out granny ring for bay area terrain. I have 28/46 on my AHH

The Riv cranks are indeed very nice. They look especially good on the various Hillibikes and the tandem. On the roady Roadini, the chunky crank arms will look more like the XT you have on there now (which doesn't look bad, really, maybe scrub off that logo?). But if you want a classic look,

You can't go wrong with the Riv SILV3R crankset. Looks good, shifts 10 speed, affordable replacement rings, and standard everything. However, the times I have gone 1x i've used a dedicated 1x chainring (wolftooth) so I cannot comment on that. You can get the 44/34/24 triple version and like a

One key crankset requirement I missed- my large chainring is going to be smaller than the typical road setup. 44t if I decide on double and 36 or 39t if I go with 1x10. On Monday, 14 September 2020 at 13:36:06 UTC-7 Ash wrote: > Btw, if you missed out on the Roadini sale, don't worry. The

Btw, if you missed out on the Roadini sale, don't worry. The Charlie H Gallop is going to be better. After looking at a prototype I paused for a minute and contemplated if I should skip the Roadini and wait for CHG instead. I'd have easily gone CHG route if the wait was not 6-ish months.
