like this one.. ^_^ what do you think about seatpost thompson Masterpiece vs leader??
Posted about 13 years ago
Many thanks goRonk. The Leader SPCA1 Seatpost was extremely disappointing. I had terrible creaks and rattles in the frame and it took nearly a month before I narrowed the problem down to the SPCA1. Replaced with the Thomson Masterpiece, went for a ride and the creaks, ticks and rattles were gone - almost a dead silent ride.

Its already been done - switched to a Izumi V and switched my Cog to 17t EAI Gold Medal. Pictures coming.

Thanks g0tyupimp, I checked out your ride too. Love it, however I like the wheels you have on your Bianchi as is. Looks as perfect in combination and flow as a bike can get.

I like the build exept for that ugly bulky bmx stem
Posted about 13 years ago
Yeah, the stem is a bit ugly and I think that is its attraction at least for me - didn't think I would like it until I saw on the bike. Have a Deda Zero 100 Stem and Deda Pista Handbars for a later switch.

how's the mavic yksion griplink tire on the rear wheelset? thinking of changing for front and rear...
Posted about 13 years ago
Yup, mavic yksion griplinks on front and back. So far I like them - had lots of adjustments on the first ride but I am sure I have a better idea soon.

Nice bike!!Got a question, which break cabel do you use?I got a cross lever, but the "head" of the inner break cabel i have, did not fit into the hole of the lever.I try campagnolo and shimano break cabels, but no one works.Both are too thick.
