I've ridden brakeless for years and years and wasn't until this summer when I put on a brake.. those long downhills are more confidence inspiring and my ride stats are slightly faster (if you care about avg speed on those hard effort rides)
You're gunna have a blast on that bike! Nice to see you in good spirits Randy, glad you did something productive toward what you love while you couldn't do what you loved. Inspiring!
It's very motivating! Now if this rain would just go away so I can enjoy this bike more... PS: LOL, thanks! I got it at Ikea and it was labeled as a bathroom storage cart.. but bar cart seemed like a better idea :p
Cool bike! Congrats! Wow, the stem is long :) I weight my bike with a luggage scale, I've had them for a while, and they work, so no point to buy a bike scales >
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to get on this thing! Yeah I sized down on the frame for a slight weight decrease, but added a longer stem so that I can fit. I have a 120mm stem laying around just in case if it’s too long lol
Yes! I used to frequently skid from 2018 to this summer (now mostly using a front brake) and not once have I ever accidentally unclipped. For reference I use both speedplay comp and speedplay zero pedals paired with speedplay standard tension cleats. ✌️⚙️
I got you. www.amazon.com/EVOSID-Printed-Breathable-Waterproof-Cushion/dp/B0C5QZZD4W?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 They also have a non carbon version for $79. The one I have is SO light though.
I use these on a couple of my bikes. They work really well, just make sure the straps are super tight! www.amazon.com/dp/B0144NTZOU?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_9&=&crid=1XAURBFVBGZ1V&=&sprefix=sks+bottl
I’ve seen an older version of this frame with a completely different Dolan logo on the down tube paired with a smaller Pre Cursa logo on the seat tube. The frame i have is a 2021-2023. The new 2024 frame looks identical to this with the exception of a tapered head tube and new colors.
Im from the us its looking like it would cost about 1500 usd including shipping A wabi lightning would cost about the same Should i get these or the wabi?
This is tough. I've seen some REALLY nice wabi lightings. I'm pretty sure the pre cursa has a slightly more aggressive geo and shorter wheelbase so handling will be feel more twitchy and fun, but the lighting should be a touch more comfortable and predictable. You can't go wrong with either. For everyday cycling I would opt for the lightning. Good luck!
I own a Pre Cursa in the regular setup (all Alpina) now for 3yrs. I had the chance to ride a Wabi, because of an other RUclipsr promoting it intensively 😉 What I can say is that the Pre Cursa is a bullet, it kind of transfers all moves you’re doing on that bike into acceleration. It’s just so good and I don’t want anything else. I tried also many other brands and at the end I’d say the Pre Cursa is a blast, if you’re performance driven. I went also for pretty long rides like 190km and I felt always comfortable, no complaints regarding stiffness whatsoever. The Wabi didn’t convince me at all, it felt almost boring compared to the aluminum Pre Cursa frame. Just my humble opinion.
@@warkingmarsi went with a wabi lightning its been good so far def a lot better than my aluminum unkwn frame but that doesnt compare to a cursa. For sure in the future would build a cursa
To go fast we have to stop fast, now you convince me to put a brake on my fixie

I rode for years with a front brake and never used it so I recently took it off, but they are a nice to have

Inspiring!
Thank you Rusty! I absolutely can't wait to rip on this thing!
The gold chain against a solid black bike definitely siiiiick. 🤙🏽
@@dougvillela4383 thanks! Almost went the oil slick route but glad I went gold. I already have a whole ass oil slick bike haha

Nothing like a new bit of shwag to get motivated again. P.S Love the booze caddy thing you got going on.

@@RandyRules I'm sure it will be crazy fun to ride !)
do you skid often with speedplay? if so how is it?
Yes! I used to frequently skid from 2018 to this summer (now mostly using a front brake) and not once have I ever accidentally unclipped. For reference I use both speedplay comp and speedplay zero pedals paired with speedplay standard tension cleats. ✌️⚙️
Can you link your saddle? Thru amazon

What are the bottle cage strap called or link?

may i know your handlebar width sir?
38cm :)
Omg 82 kg bike weight 😮
Dream bike. Really? All black. You're kidding, right? Sheeze. You need some color in your mind. This thing is ugly and extreamly boring.
@@Johann-4354 lol oil slick hubs and gold chain is enough color me. I already own a colorful bike
