Damn MIN. Looking hot.
uh oh woundup+hed3+rando
eye-row-knee!
it's your lucky night tonight, folks. a pic of my sweet new ride and myself looking hella sexy.

You guys are so serious. I barely ride the HED3, I mounted the new Rando to see if 28Cs would clear my Wound Up on what is my spare wheel. (It does with 2mm). I haven't ridden the Rando yet, it's going on the rear.
min you know im just jealous . i ride a trispoke like erryday to bug people. even when it's windy.
Best thing about riding Tri Spokes in the city: seeing your reflection in the mirrored windows (yeah Doug you know what I'm talkin bout, lower Sandy Blvd!)
Worst thing about riding Tri Spokes in the city: being blown into the wrong lane of traffic on Burnside bridge.
i'll plus that a million
oh and the helicopter whoop whoop whoop on a windless day humming down springwater at 30mph is ok too.
Yup I'll agree with all points. The real reason why I don't ride it everyday is because it's not as laterally stiff as the 32-spoke wheel and as a result doesn't handle nearly as well. I read a study this week which backs my feelings.

Note that the HED3 is among the most laterally flexible wheel tested by Roues Artisanales.

I ride pretty fast brakeless in gnarly traffic so I want maximum precision in steering. Let's face it we are all wearing pants when riding Heds so aerodynamics is kind of a joke lost in the pursuit of ballin.
i see your "scientific graph" and raise you a:

yes. touche.
i have a respectable wheelset too, some suzue discoes lace with dt comps to open pros soon to be polished open pros, but right now jerrys old aeroheads. they ride way nice, but they hardly get the love from the ladies.
part of me reaaaally wants a carbon trispoke on the huffy
zelah:part of me reaaaally wants a carbon trispoke on the huffy
weve talked about this. just do it.
I guess part of the appeal is that if I get a used one I can probably sell it for exactly what I bought it for.
I'll look around

huff's gonna cry.
as long as i don't put bullhorns on it he'll be okay
I feel the same about dougs bike. Trispokes are rad, but look silly on beautifully hand crafted steel frames. IMO.
hah ya right ,my bikes a beater. theres more rust than paint!
zelah:as long as i don't put bullhorns on it he'll be okay
dude it's your bike, fuck all that...

AYHSMB
really diggin that alien.
gracias.
yep, looks great.
i was skeptical of those bikes till i seen one, they are nice.
I wish JennX would post a picture of my Aerotrack with it's new paint.
God i love Dura Ace track cranks with big rings.
jeremy, could you post a picture of the fork clearance on the alien?
what size are those tires,like 28's?
scarface#1:what size are those tires,like 28's?
23's i believe. no clearance at all.
[quote][cite] deliciousfuture:[/cite]jeremy, could you post a picture of the fork clearance on the alien?[/quote]
yeah i'll try to get one tomorrow when it's sunny again. 23's aren't that tight... you can get up to a 28 in the front. the cdale fork is tighter...
[quote][cite] scarface#1:[/cite]what size are those tires,like 28's?[/quote]
alien... 25 rear 23 front.
cx bike... 23 rear 25 front. why the difference in sizing? just happened to be which tires were laying around the garage and usable.
KHS Aerotrack, new white spray bomb, new-ish Veep-Ds laced 4x rear 2x front...



Nice Supercorsa.
god knows I lurb the aerotracks
I bought the frame & fork for $75 at Citybikes about 5 years ago. What are they worth now?
300/400
75 bucks dude!
its worth whatever people are willing to pay. if some guy creams his pants every time he sees an arrotrack and has been waiting years to buy one, yeah, you can probably snag a cool 4 bills off him.
i was just saying $75 sounds like a nice price.
