There is a post in Frames where a guy is claiming a custom bike builder has ripped him off to the tune of $14,500.....when the builders site indicates a frame is $1,900! Even if you put $5K in for a uber build package with custom wheels........you are still $7,600 high. That really...

Things seem to be really slooooooooowing down. I got a database error. :(

I'm looking to go clipless after a few weeks of trying to deny that it's probably better. I don't want to put much money into this, but I need shoes and pedals. Any suggestions?

Mouse over them and you get some nasty, nasty stuff. Even by Lounge standards.

I guess it's my turn. I haven't spoken to my father in almost 20 years. He's been married 8 times and was quite the ladies man in his day (in spite of his looks). My mother was his first wife and he was messing around on her within a couple of months of their marriage from what I've...

I did a search for an older thread on this but it didn't yield much of anything. Sorry if it is redundant but, anyone here on it. I'm giving it a shot but I'm at a loss as to what to eat (pretty much has to go in a jersey pocket, doesn't it?) on long rides. You get about 60-80 miles out and...

Hi all, I'm interested in buying a new handlebar for my bike. Currently I'm using an Easton EC90 Carbon in a 42cm. It is the ergo bar. I've used this bar for 10+ years and no complaints but want a more shallow drop...getting a bit longer in the tooth... I'm looking at 2 bars and would like...

Hey guys I have a question...is it possible/probable to gain weight from cycling? Background/history: I've been a rather active runner for the last few years (7-10 miles during the week with a long run 10-15 miles on the weekends). I started cycling late fall and naturally my running mileage...

Halp! The title says it all. What sayeth teh Lowje?

Anyone tried Race Blade XLs on tire sizes like Michelin Muds? If so, was there enough clearance?

Y'all hip to these guys?

Hi all, this is my first post. I just received my new lynskey cooper yesterday and have started to build it up. Here are a few pics: I hope to finish the build next week, I still have a few items to purchase and install. So far I'm very pleased with the frame.:) ok, i finally...

Other than ebay, does anyone know where I could find a used San Marco Regal saddle?

So this is my bike http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2003&Brand=Bianchi&Model=Giro+Triple&Type=bike It currently has a triple, and I find myself not using the small ring much and I try and stay out of it as much as possible. I don't want to bother spending money on an...

So about 9 this morning my phone rings, it is my baby girl. She is in Boston this week for a Astro Physics/ Astronomy conference. She is presenting a project representing her university. I asked what was up...nothing....just wanted some company, you got time to talk?....YOU BET. She was walking...

Anyone here riding next month?
