Hey guys I finally sold my Giro Remedy and my 66Rc2x

 

Well done. All those bumps were not in vain.

[Artorius]

Had some fun stripping that *** yellow paint off the rims and this is the result. Just need to get some new stickers.

 

Before.

 

After:

[jrussell]

Looks much better without yellow, how did you do it?

I used a paint scraper. LOL. Came off pretty easy and didnt scratch.

jeepers arti: that's a pretty hardcore stealth look. you gonna get another chain device, in black i presume?

[Artorius]

Yeah i'd like to get something a bit more modern with a smaller chainring as well. If its black thats cool with me.  Running a 42ish (can't remember) at the mo. And I need a new saddle. Dont like that 1. Too beeg.

 

Or just get a new bike. LOL

[Capricorn]

what's the big downer with that 42T chainring? You must get sick torque at the bottom of your range.

[Artorius]

I think I'd be more comfortable with a smaller blade. Will help with ascents. Not too small tho. And the way its arranged now is a bit of a boer maak n plan with the fitment to the crank.
