I actually think a well-matched deep rim is quite attractive, (part of why I wished I could find a 650b one) I simply don't care for some of the colour combinations some of the fixed gear crowd go for in my area, and that's simply a personal design choice.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799141206977457210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-86310460246668054212010-04-03T00:27:03.403-04:002010-04-03T00:27:03.403-04:00This can only work if you use shellac to bind the ...This can only work if you use shellac to bind the fibers in the carbon fiber aero section.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-67614549553030447992010-04-02T23:13:49.514-04:002010-04-02T23:13:49.514-04:00for real, an aero seatpost! i've been on ebay ...for real, an aero seatpost! i've been on ebay all month trying to buy a campy aero seatpost in mint condition. there's nothing wrong with that. classic!perfect.tommynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-53548929058975692252010-04-02T22:37:44.976-04:002010-04-02T22:37:44.976-04:00I know this is supposed to be a joke, but I really...I know this is supposed to be a joke, but I really want an aero PBP rim, polished and Shamal-esque.
