I've been curious is this frame still rideable? i can't tell from the bb photos if it's the cranks that are bent of the frame.
just curious.

Rushing says:

Literally, the B.B. is shifted to the left, since I got hit from the drive-side. The frame looks like it's in good condition, but when seen from behind it's really noticeable. I plan to buy another one soon.

Does the Alpina affect the handling in any way?

Posted over 9 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

The Alpina fork was doing me pretty well. No problems whatsoever. Although, the rake on it could give people some toe-overlap problem.

fixiefooLA says:

how bad was the overlap?

Posted over 9 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

The toe overlap was not as bad. the rake was I believe 30 mm and I didn't have any issues. Although, people with smaller frames may have that problem.

Thank you for the compliment! I'm not too sure, for I have taken it apart after my accident and will be bringing this thing back sometime later. I'll be sure to let you know later.

do you like your tb14's or your open pro's better?

Posted about 11 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

I've been riding the TB14's more, but I do enjoy the Mavic's. I suppose they are equally good, but the Mavic is apparently stronger and it is a bit more narrow than the TB14.

Hey man. Are you planning on selling our Alpina fork?

Posted about 11 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

Yes. I am looking to get a Chris King headset and use the original bladed fork. And sell my Cane Creek headset.

Abbi143Ummi says:

How much are you selling it for? I'm interested.

Posted about 11 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

I think I'll be selling it for $125.00. I got it for $167.89, but I have cut it down twice and it has not been damaged or anything.

Posted about 11 years ago

Abbi143Ummi

Abbi143Ummi says:

Ok. Is the $125 including shipping?

Posted about 11 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

That depends on where it is being shipped. I actually haven't weighed it or check how long the steerer tube is.

Alright. Just let me know the details once you get it. I live in NY by the way.

Did you get the wheelset from velomine? If so how are they? I'm considering them for a build.

Posted over 11 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

I actually ended up buying the hubs, the rims, and then the spokes and nipples and building the wheels myself. I had someone true them and I messed up on the front wheel. This was before Velomine and online stores had them built already. So far they are pretty good if you are running 23c or 25c tires. I recommend 25c tubes.

Could this thing get any more perfect ?

Posted over 11 years ago

Rushing

Rushing says:

Possibly get the original fork, 3T fork, or Enve fork with Chris King headset. That's all that I would change on it.

A enve fork would be perfect.

Rushing says:

Why? I'm usually in the drops and I tend to slide forward, but these photos are from months ago and the angle has changed since then. Looking to get a Phenom 143.

It'll be better with new wheels and maybe a different paint job farther down the road.

How are those rims? Have heard bad things about them in the past but the price is nice. Fix that fork before it snaps,CF is weird stuff stress wise. Nice clean build.

Posted almost 12 years ago

Rushing says:

These wheels have surprisingly lasted me a while, but I plan on swapping them out for a bit with Mavic Open Pro and then H+ Son. The fork is dandy.
And thank you.

Yeah I hope you are not riding the bike like that with missing spacers/non compressed fork. If you are then good luck messing up that headset and possibly the fork!

Stem is obviously slammed and the headset was installed correctly.

Benson says:

Im not talking about if headset is installed correctly. Yes stem is slammed but there is nothing compressing the headset and stem.

Posted almost 12 years ago

Rushing says:

I see what you mean. The stem is pretty tight on there, but I haven't been to REI to have them cut the steerer tube.

you can remove the spacers after setting the headset and torquing the stem bolts
