I never said it wasn't similar, I said it wasn't "exactly the same" as a lot of people are claiming it to be.

Could have fooled me, the dropouts look exactly the same on the Shonky Inc.

I think you need some new DT Swiss wheels, since the new 2010 EX1750 comes in 12x150 spacing now, putting the set at 1885g. For a 20x110 and 12x150 set of wheels that's an amazing weight.

It's pretty funny that DT is still calling the new 12x150 wheel the 1750, because paired with a 20mm front wheel, the set will weigh 1885g, not 1750 :P

They may take our technology, but they don't make it better, they make it softer.

Hey, how do you like your Blur 4x? Any gripes or maintenance issues to look out for? Do you know if there were any common failure points?

That wouldn't be a bad investment indeed!! Two sleeves is already bad-ass, i've got a half marquasian bodysuit but without my underarm.

I would say for the part of tearing up the tattoo with your pedals, you're right because it alrighty happend with my tattoo. But still the leg is one of the most bad-ass looking places to take a tattoo!!

Hey seraph,
Trek uses ISCG-OLD...also called ISCG-03, or ISCG. It is a mounting *pattern*, and not a stringent standard...this leave a lot of room to interpret. ISCG-05 is much better defined (and stronger to boot).
