It seems as if it has been a long time from idea to realization. First built up the green Kog to make sure I liked it enough to couple. Then stripped it, took...
Keep us posted on the Nitto Rando bars. I am thinking of using those on my Model G build and would like to know what you think of them after a couple of weeks...
Hello. My name is Timmy and I ride a G. (Hi, Timmy.) <rant> <pro'y_won't_make_lots_of_sense> I was a frequent poster to this board before my G came. I couldn't...

One thing that's great about bags that get narrower near the seat, like the banana bag, is that they don't bump that backs of your legs as you pedal. Taking...
Matthew and group, I was wondering if anyone can provide those dimensions on the 120mm rear and 100mm front hubs that i'll need to look up spoke lengths. I've...
And while we're asking ..... The G sitting in a box in the living room (my wife is starting to mention it) will be the first bike I put together mostly by...
42mm is the chainline that you are looking for on the crank. I bought one of these: http://www.yellowjersey.org/cranx.html It's the RD5000 and it's pretty...

Also, one thing to consider on the Sugino 75 is that it's a 144 BCD crank for the track and you can't use a reasonable size chain ring for the street on there....
... Thanks! Those cranks look a lot like the Sugino RD models that Harris has, and that are now stock on the Bianchi Pista, but perhaps slightly narrower....
... Yes. This makes sense. The RD set at Harris comes with a 48 tooth ring, and I was figuring to get a pretty big cog in the back to cope with that. I'm...
I run the 170s. I find them to be pretty good for the most part. But if you are concerned then I would get the 165. The bike is gonna force your cadence. Who...
I picked up a crank as part of a gruppo I purchased on the BOB list, and replaced the Sora crank I got from Harris with it. It's a 144 BCD, even though it came...
And I found a jersey guy in Pakistan. I am guardedly optimistic. Anyone for a wool/silk/poly blend jersey? I'm thinking something silly like black or dark...
I was looking through QBP today and the smallest 144bcd chainring available through them is a 45t from Salsa. That is bigger than I would want but may be...

One way to get the spoke lengths right is to use the spoke calculator: http://kogswell.com/calcspoke.html Note that the 120mm rear and the 135mm rear take the ...

This is completely geographically motivated, but I would vote for short sleeve. Couple that with arm warmers and you are set for a variety of temps. For most...
I'm voting for short sleeves with Paul here, and for exactly the same reasons: all-year riding, easy overheating in humid Pacific Northwest winters, plus the...
