>>2031200hello fellow nitto technomic-needing brother.
I couldn't deal with the spinnacis' clamp straight horizontal like that and using them like an aero bar. I need them at 45° or whatever and use them as an alternate hand position for climbs. which is apparently what they were designed for (although I tried the aero thing first). the idea is they open up your tuck and that opens your chest up for more air. I like using drops or hoods on climbs, too, but damned if you can't feel more air on the spins, particularly compared with the drops. but also, it's another hand position which feels good and keeps them from cramping up.
>What's the seattube c-c on that frame?it's "only" 60 cm, but they don't really make production bikes in my size apparently that year-model came in 62 but that's what my other bike is and it doesn't really fit, either. with the technomic and long post on there I don't really notice, though. I like how nimble it is, and it's my "fast" bike (as fast as 1989 aluminum can be, anyway) so I guess the small frame is like grams shaving?
>bike looks well setup & i like that gen of 105yeah, the calipers are really beautiful. I just recently stripped it down, touched up all the paint chips, built the wheels, built it back up with brifters, and polished all the metal. took forever, so thanks for noticing .
>>2031200>whats the janky shit going on at the rear dropout rack boss?good eye! so, back when I was dailying this bike, I was hauling ass and a cab u-turned into me. snapped my foot bone, snapped the derailleur hanger. so I made a new hanger out of some eyelet bolts and attached it with a hose clamp.
