I guess after seeing this, the Storck, and the new Ridley I am developing a fondness for integration. _________________ TED San Diego, CA Bike Pics English Custom Steel Internal di2 Litespeed Ghisallo Last edited by xnavalav8r on Fri Jun 24, 2011 3:15 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I meant his mini blogging of it. Anyway I dislike Prolly's blog as well. He could have only gone a step further by putting Toyota Prius in full caps _________________ "Step forward the climber and all those who worship at the altar of lightness" - R. Millar

It doesn't seem any worse than a rider zipping up his jersey and pointing to his sponsor's logo as he crosses the finish line at the end of a race. _________________ TED San Diego, CA Bike Pics English Custom Steel Internal di2 Litespeed Ghisallo

I'm hoping it was designed to be cut and converted to use a seatpost instead. I'm assuming the rear brake is beneath the frame? _________________ Exp001 || TeamLACBC
