I'm finally getting a new bike, just ordered a Sparton frame, kind of a custom order since I got to choose the color, size and fork type.

And will order the rest of the parts whenever I can, i'll re use my old parts for now. I've been riding a lot to college and various other places and my old bike is 4cm too big for, and it has a pursuit geometry, its killing me.

Wow haven't been year in quite a while, this is what i'm currently riding apart from the pedals that I changed to shimano spd m520.

Sparton frame and fork
Chosen hubs
Sugino XD Cranks 46t
Formula 18t cog (ordered a 19t cog cant remember which brand, for quite a few extra skid patches according to the all city patch calculator)
Nitto stem and bars
Turbo Saddle
Vzan Rims
Panaracer Ribmo tires 700x28
Sram Apex brake
Suntour headset

I plan on getting a KHS flite 100 soon, since I only have this bike now and I use it for everything, it would be nice to have a spare so I don't end up riding the bus... I don't drive, don't plan on doing so.
Been there, done that a car is too much of a headache, costs a lot to maintain is actually slower then a bike on traffic and just straight up pissed me off. I had an 07 Ford Eco Sport which at the time was new and I'm glad I got rid of it.
I bike 100-200 kilometers a week depending on what I have to do, loving it.
