Not that I don't value but come to think of it if you ride in the road also it will eat up your tire right? Trainer is less abrasive anyway..perhaps I'll buy the trainer tyre soon. The blue colored Victoria for indoor trainer. It costs 180 here..

Too expensive didn't bother (TEDB)

errr... trainers will wear ur tires out much faster than riding on the roads. google up if u don't believe me

me thinks it's flat out stupid... a tree branch flying into your spokes and then snagging your derailleur will cause you to throw your frame into the dumpster...

for the minor benefits a non-replaceable offers... not worth the risk..

over the years of riding.. it happened to me only once... and on a road bike somemore... had to swap hanger, RD and deal with a broken wheel because it snapped a pair of spokes on the way up...

don't underestimate tree branches...

thanks. helix is out of question. still searching.... searching....

looking for something that's
- classic looking. nothing fancy like lynskey
- sloping geometry
- replaceable hanger
- external headset
- normal bb
- race oriented
- titanium
- use seat collar (not like cinelli xcr)

if u find something like this, let me know please. thanks boss

guru praemio is one option. but the shop selling it here says, they don't do measurements for custom build. if want custom, the customer will have to give them the dimensions. what lah

A worn out tyres will give you less rolling resistance..so I guess using my gp4000s on a trainer will make it much faster on the road? tongue.gif

this two already the opposite... how to find lar li that... classic geometry must have no sloping top tube one...also no compact geometry... it's a man's bike...full sized..

what i mean by classic is, just round tubes. nothing twisted like helix tubes. something like moots.

itu maciam... fly to US holiday a bit bit while getting a new bike is a viable solution?

they have lots of titanium frame builders there...very custom and all the tubes are hand cut and hand mittered... and also hand jigged, hand assembled, hand welded, hand polished... and other than giving the bike a hand job... i don't know what hand they can give it anymore...

wah... ticket $ summore... will think about it. i heard some guys here in KL went to aussie n got them measured for baum bikes. damn
