I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

profile is heavy. wombolt 2pc seems to be the crowd favorite from the reviews i read.
Profiles last, though. I'd rather shave ounces on a seat post than cranks. Snapping crank arms isn't fun. The arms on my one set of Profiles are 10 years old and the chrome isn't even chipped.

Are those Wombolts AL arms?

I think I have some 990s laying around. I know I have a set of Shimano cantis, but those won't do you any good.

Have those hairlines given out on the Legacy yet?

they are 41-thermal 4130 cr-mo steel. ligter and stronger then profile w/titanium spindle. Lifetime guarantee on arms AND spindle.

22mm hollow spindle is ligter then a 19mm and 17% stronger then a 3pc spindle.

Wow. $180 w/o bottom bracket.

They look like the old Redline Flite 2 pieces.

i cant even find the hairlines on the legacy. it seems to be holding up pretty good tho. sometimes off of big hitters and gaps it feels a little flaky and not completely solid but i'll make due. if it does happen to break this is the bad boy i'll be snaggin. http://www.danscomp.com/211352.php?cat=FRAMESFSD FIT eddie cleveland edition. 4 lbs ftw!

That's all the more my Bitchin Camaro weighs. 4lbs xxOz. I won't put it together till I get my flow back. Right now there's alot of cases in my immediate future that the Live Wire will take.

My Live Wire doesn't weigh much. It's not the weight of my Hyper. Aluminum frames are awesome. I still have it.

The Legacy is eggshelled at the rear triangle. Ice pick it and you'll feel it. I could feel it in manuals. My General Lee snapped right were the rear triangle connects. It was a big icepick stall that brought that down.

my hoffman snapped @ the seatstay all the way down to the BB.
mega gaps were the downfall of that bike. i still have my old antix 240 frame but its heavy. ill be ordering my Fit.ed here in a few days.
