My working bike (as most of you know I'm a bike messenger) is a Fondriest track bike - single speed, fixed gear, no brakes. Aluminium frame, carbon fork, handmade in Italy, at about 18 pounds it's not light but it suits me well. I could shed several pounds if I went for super lightweight components, but that would cost lots and might affect durability. Here it is after a working day in the winter, with fenders (they come off the other three seasons) and lights: http://mondociclismo.blogspot.com/2010/01/welcome-to-canada.html My other bike has not yet been put together but it's an old mid-90s Marinoni road frame. I've had it a couple of years now but I haven't had the money to get it roadworthy: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/marinoni-for-christmas.html cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
