Yes they were a special for CTA a couple of years ago and show on the CTA web site.. CTA has been pretty non responsive to emails of late though when I try to buy them. Longleaf is looking into carrying them, and I told him to put me down for a second set if/when he does. bruce ___

Noticed a Romulus both on my way into work and on the way home yesterday. In the afternoon the owner was riding along old Main. Anyone on this list? Just haven't seen that one before. I'm the person who said "nice Romulus" while driving by in the morning. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN --~--~---

>From some recent messages on the 650b list, I believe that CTA may have done another run of Aeroheads. Word is that a phone call is more likely to get a response than e-mail. Anthony @ Longleaf built one set of 650's for me, and noted that in his opinion Aeroheads are a bit too narrow for Hetre

These have been drilled to fit my bike so your bike should be close to the same size or you are going to need to drill new holes in the fenders which for most people would be a deal breaker. On Jul 20, 8:33 am, johnb wrote: > I have a pair of one-year old fenders + mounting hardware that I am >

Because those are just the standard chrome/silver-type finish. The gold-tone (brass) finish on the Soma's is what caught my eye. Maybe that's a market opportunity for Velo-Orange? A brass-colored (anodized?) chrome fender for a reasonable price? On Jul 21, 9:34 am, clevewheel wrote: > Why not so

I switched to the TA Pista early on, and believe I installed a 103mm axel TA bottom bracket at the same time. I run a 17/19 White Industries freehub on the back and it all works great. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pguillam/2335320807/ On Jul 11, 10:45 am, Michael Rivers wrote: > I'm interested
