    Overshoes.........as above.
    Are there specific overshoes for SPD as opposed to LOOK cleats?
    I only have SPD pedals now but have a pair of Pro Tarmac overshoes which I struggle to get on but do get on.
    Mavic Rush Mtb shoes.
    The overshoes are xl. The shoes are 44.

    I accidentally spent too long looking at Specializeds on the Ugly thread and had to recalibrate my senses with this.

    Even the spacers and front valve cap can't ruin it.

    Valve caps.. valve caps.. Still awesome bike, I think cannondale these days have the most elegant frames. I even like the ones with the disks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,975 ✭✭✭aFlabbyPanda


    it bothers me that the valves don't protrude the same distance on both wheels...

    But, but, but..... that's horrid!

    Surely they could have picked up that fag butt.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,857 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeeee


    Hmm pretty bike, But to be pedantic...the back wheel is too far out, the bars look angled up (although the stem is beautiful), saddle pointing down...plus I wouldn't trust those seat and chain stay dropout connection bits (technical terms!) on a track bike. The brake hole takes away from its trackly hotness too (even though mine has one too and she's the most beautiful track bike there's ever been :D ). As a fancy fixie then yes, very pretty. Oh I'm conflicted!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭Eamonnator


    If you read down through the link, there's some bad news.
    The frame cracked at BB after 5 weeks.

    For this reason I would never run a Ti stem, unless it was machined from a single billet (if such a thing is possible).

    Not obvious, but it's there. Touring in the 80s.

    Donegal?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,450 ✭✭✭Harrybelafonte


    Donegal?

    Yes, Dungloe. Should add that neither photo nor bike belong to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,251 ✭✭✭fat bloke


    Chrisht. Any man/woman who got as far as Dungloe on a bike deserves a pint and a toasty. I've driven it and even from first crossing the border into Donegal it feels like a frickin four day camel ride :(

    There are some awesome routes around there though (Dungloe - Gortahork - Dore - Mín Doire Dhamh - Dun Lúiche - Errigal onto the Muckish road to Falcarragh - Crolly and back.

    Plus driving northbound towards the Gweebarra bridge twisting along the "cliff road" is sweet.

    That looks class alright in fairness.

    Spacers, valve caps and no pedals can ruin it.

    Forget about the bike. The pad is awesome.

    Aye. Although I did live up a rickety spiral staircase once. It caused almost daily bruising, sober!

    Having said that I'd take both house and bike-the house for the bike :pac:
