That Fiorelli Campionissimo needs a Brooks aged Swallow to finish the look.

Thanks!

I do have a suede Cinelli saddle for the Fiorelli, I just prefer the Bontrager.

Wow some really nice bikes in here! Still riding a '91 Specialized Hardrock Sport.

25 miles a day would take 40 days to do. I can only ride 5 times per week. so 8 weeks. Also I am not in shape and there are not many flat areas where I am as Im in the Vally so whatever way I go there is tons of like 3% slopes for a long time or there is 7-9% slopes for a few miles. Also our roads here suck hard. But the biggest limiting factor is me being damn out of shape. In other good news I got my pedals and brakes in the mail. In other bad news I still cant find any shoes under 200. Balls.

Go check out probikekit.com. They're UK based, but offer free shipping to the US and the stuff often arrives faster than if you had ordered domestically.

I just picked up new hoops, tubes, and rubber for my Cannondale. Wheels and tires are here, but I'm still waiting on the latex tubes and veloplugs. Will post pics when everything's here.

RobbStory: After noticing your sticker, I will have to bike down to DC from Baltimore on my Single Speed....This is not a Fixie though.

I want something for recreational riding...been looking at a Specialized Stumpjumper & a Rockhopper. I like the looks of this but definitely not the color. Got any suggestions for me, for those of you in my situation? I had a Cannondale F700 w/Spins in the late 90s but didn't have a chance to ride much. Now I have a bike trail outside my apartment. Tanks folks.

i don't get all the fixie hate actually. they are quite amazing commuters especially if you frequently have to stop at lights or hop up curbs... truly great bikes. i don't usually ride one unless with my mates, but think they are great. perhaps, i don't care if they are 'trendy' or not - as long as trendsters are not driving cars, i am happy. nice to see some brakeless bikes on the road too...

Take a closer look at the photo. Behind my Cinelli is my track bike which I've ridden almost exclusively for nearly 7 years.

Mainly its inexperienced hipsters who don't really know how to control their brakeless fixies and end up endangering themselves and others.
