3mm is fuck all. Just run it. My Intense M9 was over 3cm out of alignment and it wasn't noticable. Nearly all of the US made alloy cannondales were ~5mm out.

chainstays are asymmetric so don't let that deceive you.
put the bike on the ground and open and close the QR - so many shifting issues are caused by the wheel not actually being both of the...

This.
To clarify, I wasn't saying that Giants are terrible, just that I think there are better options out there. The Treks, for example, have far less ramp up and brake jack. Probably nit-picking for a...
Giants seem like decent value out of the box/on paper, however in reality this is not necessarily true. For sure, it is a decent bike (like all giants) but I think there are a few better options out...
Looks like the IV missed the vein.

Fuarrrkkk. Wow. If that was a size bigger...

what grumpy said
I was a courts assistant (fetching glasses of water, ordering stationary, hanging around looking useful) in the ACT magistrates court for a semester while I was at uni. This is the court in which...
If the guy in the car has any sense, he will have a lawyer, and he will win because of it.
Ditto for yourself. If your time is worthwhile pursuing this, then hiring someone with legal training is...
Frame
A frame is more than the material it is made out of. CAAD8/10 frames ride better than any ebay carbon (fibreglass) piece of junk i've ridden. I would avoid old steel frames if you want...
I am going to disagree with everything mentioned above.
The sub $1000 roadie is always a tough thing. People have been looking for sub $1000 roadies for about 10 years now despite the fact that...
So much win going on here. It makes me sad that Jagwire hiflow does not come in purple. Very nice attention to detail (o-ring on seatpost etc. not just the purple bits)
I would get some lock ons...
They teach 15 year old plumbing apprentices how to braze in a few weeks of trade school. Those joins have to hold gas and water at pressure for 50-ish years. I con't imagine building a simple,...
The thing i like most about this is that despite the builder seemingly being willing to build and put his name on anything (vinyl dipped street fixie with no brake mounts anyone?), Alex has obviously...
You should walk around all day performing feats of strength.
Clean!
This looks much more cohesive and well thought out than any of the garash, dipped, hipsterific other bikes he's done.
For christmas i wan't a fixed collar bone.
Actually, i want a competent public hospital orthopaedic surgeon.
*sigh*
keep it rubber side down yo! no boxing day epic for me :(
This is the first i've seen of this. Rad.
You can stand on the dropouts of most carbon frames and flex them until they are touching and they'll just spring right back. You can also clamp many carbon top/down tubes until the tube walls are...
haha. I love getting the phone call at work asking for pictures of destroyed warranty frames or from insurance companies who want claimed bikes to be made completely un-rideable for liability...
