OriginalArea Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Yo SteveAustin, The best way to get in shape IS to compete! Get out there and have fun! Cross is more of an individual race anyway. Sometimes the only person we compete with is ourselves but that's ok. Just finishing a race is respectable, and fun! How often do you get to go all out on a Closed course. No cars no nerds running in front of you. That's the real fun. What about the beer? Around here the beer is an important part of the cyclocross. How bout where you ride? It's still early season don't throw in the towel now! Go get muddy and stuff. OArea....(T). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalArea Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 OK Bike People, General Announcement. Or Constructive Criticsim. When you take flicks of your fly pista you must do it justice. 1. Photo the drive side of the bike to show off the nice cranks. 2. Rotate the crank so the non-drive side crank arm is hidden by the seat-tube. This shows off most of the frame decals. 3. The finishing touch, make sure the valve stems on the wheels are in the same position. This lines up the tire labels as well. Assuming you have the labels lined up with the valves. Follow these three steps and you will have proffessional style photos of your pro setup. Just like a catalog. Now you're really the envy of your 12oz buddies. But seriously I have seen a few pictures up here that don't show the bikes in the best view. It's a shame cause there are some nice bikes people are sharing and we don't get to see the whole show. Hope this is helpful. Kidlugz nice ride. Details, Man, Details... are those low flange Campy hubs to match the cranks. Complete Campy gruppo? If so those hubs are excedingly RARE. The saddle is hot with the underside sealed up. What tubing? Columbus? We gotta know these things. I have that pegged for 83' but 85' tops. What's the story. A bike like that always has a history. In very nice condition too. Good post. Area..(T)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kidlugz Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 that's not my bike. i believe it belongs to some guy named 'gio' from italy. i pulled it off the fg gallery because of the bizarre kink in the seat tube accomodating the insanely tight geometry. according to 'gio' it's a 1980 zoni, "a steel frame signed Giovanni Losa, and mounted by Carlo Zoni, Gerenzano, Varese, a little town near Milano in the north of Italy. Steer, fork, crank, bottom braket and pedals are Campagnolo Pista, hubs Gipiemme (32 holes),weels Ambrosio Syntesis with soldered spokes,handlebar and stem 3ttt, seat San Marco." there you have it. you've made some good points though.

SteveAustin Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 nice flix crunch. seeing that shit is driving me nuts. I talked to one of the guys I used to race with last night. He was trying to talk me into racing my way back into shape as well. I decided I'd at least look at some of the races and maybe enter one or two. yo original...have you posted on here under a different name before?

OriginalArea Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hey SteveAustin No other names for me. I've been sneaking around on here for like 2 years. King of hell hipped me to the Bicicletas. My hometown thread isn't worth posting in. Channel Zero is cool, funnier than sitcoms! And the bicycle channel. Kidlugz Thanks for the info that is a very special bicycle. I was interested because a friend of mine had a similar frame different Builder.(I'm not sure but I think it was a cyclops) The base of the seat tube was crimped like an old steel chainstay. Very coolsuper short wheelbase. Thanks Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalArea Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 CTC804 I rode the local training cross race wed. nite. McCormack is always there. He talks in the back for a lap and then works his way to the front. So when he passed me I stayed with him for a 1/4 lap. Fast course but I NEVER road that fast through corners on a cross bike, EVER! Quite a learning experience. He lost me at the barriers. The best part was I used him to bridge the gap to the next group. I was an Elite racer for 2 min.!!!!!

cinnamon toast crunch804 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 man i wish i could train with Matt during the week... and im sure jess anthony is there too. that's what i hate about being the ONLY serious cross rider in richmond i have no one to train with. makes a big difference over the course of a season. anyway raced against all those boy over the weekend and got whooped up on... finished 25th and 26th. 4 and 5th in the U23's not great races but not bad races... my good will come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalArea Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hey CTC804, Anything in the Elite field is respectable, but I know a true competitor doesn't want to hear that shit. For cross; the place to be is up hurr. There's alot of racing and training races. These people are cross crazy. You'll see this weekend. The big "G" buddy! Are you ready? Two days of pain! Ah HA HA HA !!!!! See you there CycloCrossWorld.comski! Area(I want a top 10)MZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalArea Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hey cloner Great pictures that's some jumping. You're crazy. There's some shit like that around where I live. Right next to the subway. super tight. mad trees and endless connections. It's funny everytime I ride by it's empty. Someone made it and keeps it up. The secret locals hiding in the trees and shit! It will take a bit but I'll furnish the pictures, OK. You'll be impressed, I promise. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUNBUNBIGGY Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 my crank screw keeps getting loose. I still didn't get new cranks yet (no time, no money). So, i just keep on riding and tighten the crank screw every couple miles or so. I was walking around lower east side, just straight up blasted and i pass by some fixed gear guys, i shoot the shit with them and i asked them where can i get some cheap cranks. They said right here, this is a bike shop. The thing is i was twisted and crazy zooted, i am lucky i remmeber talking to the fixed gear guys but, in anycase. Where is that bike store located in LES?? /ramble on playa, ramble on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloner Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 this weekend, theres supposed to be a last jam at these trails not far from me. hopefully ill remember to get some pics from it and maybe some video. will be the last one before winter im sure of it, hope the weather stays nice. edit for a random though - bikes without brakes kick so much ass, they look like such simpler machines. my shoes sure hate it though =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I just bought the new Pista Concept. Full bike with some goodies on it. Getting back into racing on the track for 2005. Winter training is already time consuming beyond belief. It's only October and I'm already averaging ten to twelve hours a week on the bike, not including gym work. By January I fear I'll be up to twenty hours a week. If I don't end the 2005 season with legs like the characters in Triplets of Belleville... I'll be really suprised.
