The Bike Shop / Re: a little help updating my '03 Fit custom PLEASE

Probably the bars and frame depending on the sizes you run.

There's a lot of frames out there that are plus 21" toptube these days which will definitely make it a more comfortable ride being 5'11 and older and all.

A lot of bars out there that are plus 8" too. 8.25' is about the new median height for bars so getting something higher will helps with the back aches.

With that being said... If you do upgrade to a new frame, pretty much everything on the market is intergraded headsets and press fit bottom bracket meaning you gotta upgrade that too.

Rear triangles on frames are shorter so 36t may or may not align well with your new frame. Anything below 30t sprocket is a safe bet. Your probably gonna want to run a driver that matches the new engagement but I think Profile hubs are the same as what they always have been so finding a replacement driver shouldn't be too hard.

Good luck!

Built in tripod is most definitely dope.

Was Reynolds 921 that tubing they used on Standards back in the day? i could've sworn I read that somewhere on Danscomp.

Nicky Croft isn't involved with them anymore is he?

I think he had a major head injury a while back and has cut back or stopped riding all together.

Must've watched this about 15 times already. The spots, the lineup, the editing, everything is perfect.

I feel stuck too. Right way is wrong, the wrong way is wrong. What do you do?

I just wish they'd still make 1.95 GLH's.

Begin is definitely most underrated. He puts out too much progress videos on IG for the things he does in videos/final products to stand out.

I liked when there were companies that specialized in making only frames and maybe bars or forks and there were parts companies that made the other stuff. Now it seems like all companies make everything.

This. It made pro bike checks that much more interesting. You got to see what your pros really wanted to ride vs. 'these are the list of parts that come on the complete bike we also offer which is just a slightly downgraded version'.
