I'm getting some variously new bits and pieces in and if anyone wants to torture test please let me know.
Mainly:
1) Microshift stuff. A fairly decent alternative to Shimano - but uses twin lever shifting ala Campy. I'm not a derailler guy - but these seem pretty good.
2) Saddles. I made up 2 pretty decent saddles , but still playing around with these. Looking at using soft carbon for the next prototypes.
3) Frames. I'll have a couple of generic carbon frames for anyone to beat the %$#* out of. Any takers? What size would be most <least> common denominator.
4) Forks. I have a few to choose from. Fat Aero hammers to svelte HCversions. Does a fork really matter? I have no idea. As long as the front wheel stays, well, in front of me, I really don't care. But at a fraction of the weight of cro-mo, I can dig that.
5) Wheels. Do they <really> make that big of difference? Lets try it out! for example how does a 50mm rear 2X / Radial generic really perform compared to a Lightweight that costs as much as Charlie Sheen's Coke habit?
Anything else??? Lets have a friggin play day!
