    Thanks for the help. I am going to check the head set. Took it for a spin and really think it coming from there. I am not sure how , but it just sound like something is knocking in the headset.
    Btw, here is a picture of my latest build. It was my old Postal that I cracked the hanger cranking up a hill. It killed me when my LBS said it could not be repaired. I about to hang it as a wall ornament, when I came across an ENO hub on Craigslist. I retooled it with a 46 sugino crank and a white industries 17 cog. It is amazing how light the postal is after stripping all the extra medals.
    Again, thanks for all the great advice,

    Nice job, I love that your frame gets a second life. Personally i think the ENO hub is the key to my happiness.

    Sometimes I get a regular clicking under hard pedalling, synched with the pedal stroke. I haven’t figured it out yet but it’s bad when chain is too tight, but almost imperceivable when chain is loosened. (carbon frame).

    Once I disassembled the bottom bracket (gxp) and re-greased the bearings, that made the sound go away. it’s been about 1-1/2 years and think I’ll try that again.

    Also in the past a loose seat clamp was the culprit, had to grease the seat post too (different steel frame)

    Definitely post pics, let us know if you find the source.

    Just made my first visit to Revolution Cycles (although I forgot to grab a BA jersey!). Nice people there and a huge selection of bikes :) I got to see the Raleigh Sojourn in person – definitely going to go back and test ride that one.

    Bike shops are fun :)

    I was on my way there this afternoon to pick up a BA jersey but bailed at last minute, was riding with my son but we didn’t dress warm enough so we hightailed it home.

    Sorry will be out of town, will donate. On the donation form do we enter your name to make sure you get credit? Where do we enter “women & bicycles”?

    Thanks for doing this

    Hey, a man can dream, right?
    And by dream, I mean dream of having more than one SSCX bike.

    First, I like the Cinelli-Mash webpage a lot: http://mashsf.com/cinelli_page/ — It’s completely useless as a webpage, but playing on a nice 24″ monitor it looks good.

    Second, yes, if I don’t cheap out and go with something from All City or Milwaukee…then I hope to make this mine sometime soon:

    I keep looking at this pic and gap b/w the rear wheel and seat tube is really bugging me. I wish they would’ve shortened the chain, personal pet peeve.

    Not so much me, but my bike:
    – On the Custis I’ve had a stranger pull up alongside and ask me why I wasn’t riding my Cinelli (when I was riding a Bianchi)
    – I met a CL seller who recognized me as the guy on Cinelli (I wasn’t on a bike at the CL sale)
    – I met someone on a group ride who recognized me as the guy on Cinelli (I was riding the Blue that day)
    – DaveK spotted me taking picture of the Cinelli, this was before we met in person
