Super sick! hows the bike scene in Denmark?
Posted over 12 years ago
Thanks :) 36% of the people in Copenhagen use their bike every day to work or school.

Kinda love it! Do you ride it on track or do you use it on the street? Or both maybe?
Posted over 12 years ago
I use it on the roads around Copenhagen to make roadies regret they used 2000$ on the Dura ace DI2 group. :)

awesome bike! I'm planning to buy those navigator pista wheelsets, did you remove the decals? how are they feel when rolling?
Posted over 12 years ago
Thank you. The navigator pista wheel set is the best bang for the buck out there right now, they are strong as a tank and just keeps on going. The decals are just stickers without clear coat so they come off easy. Compared to my previous Ellipse wheel set they are a bit heavier and slower, but the Ellipse falls apart on real world roads, so the navigators are the sensible choice.

did you ever had problem with the novatec hubs, especially its rear? my friend had it but only the front wheels and the hub runs very smoothly, so I might buy it from him and then search for the rear
Posted over 12 years ago
and I gotta agree, I'd choose this over ellipse. I heard that the rear ellipse usually got jammed on its lockring/cog thread

I wouldn’t say the wheels were solid as a tank if I had problems with it would I now?
The Ellipse are an excellent wheel set they are just not meant for street riding.

Very nice Dolan Seta. The Ireland colors match very well.

Sometimes I wounder if I should have got it in all black, but then I look at it see that green was the right choice :)

Thank you it means a lot when it comes from someone with bikes that I admire. Your Rabobank pista is world class, although you need an X2 stem for it ;) but I read you just testing the length of it with the 3T.
I can see you also do really long rides on your fixed gear, we are a group of 20 riders that are going from Copenhagen to Amsterdam 9-16/7-12. It would be cool to meet up with other riders there :)

i tried to go from amsterdam to oslo last year, but we couldn't found a date for all of us. this year i'll start riding road bikes in parallel. enjoy your ride, i still love longer fixed rides (the longest was 178km on the way to barcelona).

Road bikes are for the faint hearted ;) I forgot to ask what color scheme you got the Seta in?
Posted almost 13 years ago
i wanted a black one, but used setas are seldom, then you need the luck to find one in your size so i ended up with the blue/black-model, which is fine for me

The more I look at it the more I want that frame, at frist I thought it had it had a pretty ugly paint job. Well now its probably one of my favorites, this this is great!!!!

Hehe Thank you. I was on the fence about buying a green frame, I have seen a lot of green Mash builds and none of them have turned out good. Normally I’m an all black kind of guy, but it was a really good deal this frame on ebay so I just went ahead a got it. I got all black parts so it would be pure black and green, I’m sure that one silver part in this build could have fucked it all up.
I like your Rush Hour Pro, when I first saw it I thought you had relaced the SDV66C rims to Mack hub and build the ultimate wheel set :D
Posted almost 13 years ago
ha I was going to do that at first but realized I needed another wheelset. You do have silver bolts on your... nevermind
Posted almost 13 years ago
This things really cool man! You tear it up on the track with this thing?
Posted almost 13 years ago
Thanks man. I like your China carbon bike a lot, I think it has a lot of soul. Acutely I use it for road riding, the roads around here is pretty flat so you don’t need any small gears, and I like overtaking expensive road bikes on this thing ;)
Posted almost 13 years ago
Hahaha, you and I would get along well because 100% of my riding is making road bikers look like amateurs on my single speed!
And thanks man! I really loved that frame but it was just too aggressive. And coming from me, that really means something. Haha.

Execellent! Very nice build!

Thanks, I think there is an overwhelming majority of people on this side that just put parts together on their fame and don’t put any effort in to it, that’s a bit sad. I like your Rush hour as well, but I would have kept the stock paint job ;)
