Whoever was asking about the seat post water bottle cage, its pretty legit. Great for bikes that aren't drilled for cages.

thanks

Aw cool cool. I saw the first one and it was alright. I can't do any of those tricks though

I need help, or advice I should say.

I bought a Bianchi bike at a yard sale for $50
stripped it, grinded off all the brake brackets
finishing up the sanding

so now I need parts, can anybody recommend me a good crankset for a good price please.

If you're looking for a decent crankset at a decent price get sram omniums.

oh jesus that A LOT of money, I cant spend that much at the time
Ok lets give it another try, how about anything that works for a cheap price.

 

[doosta45]

omniums or sugino 75s > origin 8s, pakes, *insert cheap cranksets*

buy once or buy twice

 

[zapatohead408]

O.K I think those origin 8's will do the job, for now

eighth inch cranks and cheap shimano bb

Well, define cheap. 
Quality bike parts aren't cheap. If you can't afford something good, you're better off saving up until you can.

^ Not sure what the sample is, but I believe Massan made the track himself for the commercial.

Alright.....I've finally sold myself in getting a bike as much as I hate to be a hypocrite. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on sizing.

Since I am uber broke, I found a website that sells a Mercier Kilo TT for really cheap. The thing is since I am buying this online, I have to really nail down the sizing but not sure which one fits me.

This is straight from the site:

NOTE: Sized center to center, most riders fit a size smaller than they fit in a center to top sized bike
Example - if you ride a 58cm center to top sized bike then you may prefer the 55cm Kilo TT
Please refer to the sizing charts before making your own purchase decision

Sizing: (c-c = center to center seat tube, c-t = center to top, TT = top tube c-c)
44cm (c-c) is 47cm(c-t) with TT of 503mm* and standover of 28.5 inches*
47cm (c-c) is 50cm(c-t) with TT of 513mm and standover of 29 inches
50cm (c-c) is 53cm(c-t) with TT of 523mm and standover of 30.4 inches
53cm (c-c) is 56cm(c-t) with TT of 548mm and standover of 31.5 inches
55cm (c-c) is 58cm(c-t) with TT of 560mm and standover of 32 inches
57cm (c-c) is 60cm(c-t) with TT of 575mm and standover of 33 inches
60cm (c-c) is 63cm(c-t) with TT of 606mm and standover of 34 inches
63cm (c-c) is 66cm(c-t) with TT of 630mm and standover of 35.5 inches
(*estimated measurements of new size)

Most riders fit the size they clear the standover by 1-1.5 inches
The "standover" is the distance from the floor to the upper surface of the top tube that is between ones legs when straddling the bicycle. Most riders want at least 1 to 1.5 inches between them and the hard chromoly steel top tube.

I am 5'8 with a 30" inseam. It says that I have to clear about 1" to an 1.5" from the tube. Does that mean I fit a 47cm frame? Or am I supposed to get exactly what fits me which is the 50cm?

Any help would be appreciated. I am a noob at this whole thing.

 

[thizz marley]

a 47 would be way to small. the standover isn't all that important. the top tube length is.
look up a fit guide for a basic idea. But the 50 is most likely your size.

 

[DonRafa]

Kilos tend to fit bigger than most frames, and run about 2 sizes bigger. Go with the 50, the 53 will be too big.

Seriously though, they're a great bike for the money.
