crankset looks similar to the 960 of years back, those were great cranks, but a non-standard bcd messed up the availability of chainrings

 

silver stainless steel spokes?!, don't these guys know that the local bike shops will look down on you if they aren't black spokes

 

great looking bikes

 

 

 

stupid prices messed with the availability of the chainrings.

R1800-00 for a set in 2003 was silly money. now its a walk in the park

aha, now I remember, you could get them, but a new crankset was the cheaper option than the replacement rings alone, everything seems 104bcd now, so no chance of putting a single chainring on there any time soon, its still a beautiful looking crankset

I got to take a good close look at Stephan Sahms bike, with a bit of his own handy work he managed to mount a second bottle cage inside the front triangle, mounted slightly away from the seattube with a "spacer" (homemade) (exactly where Karls "bomb" is) pretty nifty. he said he hates mounting a bottle cage on his seat post as he says it messes with the bikes centre of gravity (many opinions on that i guess)

 

Interestingly enough, we asked him what he thinks of the Di2 he was running, his words "do you want an honest answer?" he said " he doesn't like the feel of the shifters, but that it does work well"
