Awesome build and tight geo!How are you liking the deda crononeros?Im thinking of getting them for my bike...
Posted over 11 years ago
thanks man.
the Crononero Low Riders are the best bullhorns i've tried. quiet comfortable, especially as i'm used to narrow B123 drops. you should go for it.

looks like a nicer and better version of a dosnoventa.

this is my own geometry. full custom. :)
plus, i've had this frame way back when Dosnoventa was still Cream. :)

that's cool. i've been seeing a lot of ave maldea frames and i love that dudes work. he's bringing it back as far as tight clearances and steep angles.

hehe, not really. i ride mostly 90 gear inches now. 51tX15t and 48tX14t. this one (52tX15t) was at around 92 gear inches. it's mostly flats here in Manila and you have to keep up with the traffic. otherwise, you're just a nuisance on the road if you ride slow and that's more dangerous.
