Technically it's illegal to ride a track bike here as we have to have working brakes. Much like the wheel reflectors that everyone removes 10 seconds after they leave the shop (especially from road bikes; I've seen what those things do to the wheel balance). Trials bikes (one of which I posted a link to yesterday) do have brakes - very strong brakes - but they have no seat. However they're not the kind of thing you'd use to commute to work. > Now I guess we can expect a 1000 posts telling me I should get rid of > those old bikes and buy a helium filled boron tube frame racing > bike for > $20,000. I don't remember who I'm quoting here, but a few dollars worth of laxatives can apparently save you the equivalent of several thousand dollars in bike part upgrades :) However, if you do want to go crazy... http://www.poshbikes.com/ Carbon chainrings, anyone? - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
