how do you like those wheels? I had a carbon wheelset but trying to stop on those things suck. The special brake pads on the carbon surface are pretty loud also.

 

SO SICK!~! I've been thinkin about pickin up something like that but the car always ends up pullin me back in! LOL

It's koo because a couple more things and I will REALLY be done.

 

i love my wheels, best bang for your buck carbon wheels with ceramic bearings. you certainly would have more braking power with an aluminum wheelset, but as far as it being loud, i started using swiss stop yellow king pads for carbon wheels, and it's just as quiet.

 

speaking of road bikes, i'm in the process of getting a Specialized tarmac pro, or a Trek Madone 5.2. any opinions?

 

I ride a fixed gear.

 

fixed gear bikes are cool, those hipster fixie kids are not with their super tight jeans and gay v-neck shirts. i hope you're not one of them.

i had two of them one of which is pictured in my avatar but sold them as i honestly did not want to be associated with that whole crowd. They come into my shop and shoplift and are just downright annoying.

 

both overpriced for what you get but out of the 2, i'd say go tarmac

 

Damn ballers ...hahah
im looking for a used road bike under 100$ haven't found the right one yet...
(still searching on craigslist)
I am 5'11-6ft what do you recommend dvo.?

 

keep looking through craigslist but to find something under $100 is going to be hard. Even if you find something for $300 you usually still have to put in 100-150 to get it running in good condition. as far as frame size goes, look for something around a 56cm frame or "large" if the frame uses compact geometry

 

thanks dvo..
yeah i will be happy with a steal frame older type road bike..
dont get me wrong i would love something better but i just think its to much money for me..

 

whut? no talk of carbon on your m3? blah... (-_-)Zzz....

 

too bad because I have an all original 1975 motobecane with orignial suntour parts group in great condition. it's a 53cm though. too small for you.

 

Hope you don't mind if I share mine too. I picked it up about 3 weeks ago. Have aproximately 150miles on her so far.

Full carbon frame and seat post.

 

Nice I could of used that last weekend. I just did my first century ride on my mountain bike. It was brutal but I got through it. I'll be in the market to a road bike soon.

 

you did a century on a mountain bike?! dang you are a champ.

 

The ride was for charity so I just kept telling myself that.
