Mostly dura ace. Some high end campy. Campy dropouts.

And be sure to sand down the paint, and give it a nice grey rattlecan job

Saw it in half, stuff the frame with cocaine, sell it, go to Mardi Gras, drop acid, and have a great time! Just watch out for rednecks in pickup trucks.

It means the pictures are stolen from eBay and the OP is a troll. This is second thread about converting a bike by the OP.

Since it doesn't have pedals, I'd use it for the base of a tallbike, the geometry is perfect to match up a large Murry women's 5 speed on top. Couple passes with the arc-welder and that shee will be t-to-he-aiight.

Yes I have pedals. If you had a keen eye you would notice this dura ace AX crankset has an adaptor for smaller/newer threaded pedals. Any newer pedals work with them. ZING!

You're also a ****** lacking a more constructive way to spend your time than creating fake posts with the intent of getting people riled up on an internet forum.

Go ride your bike (if you even have one).

Why would I need the original pedals when I can put better pedals on...

Besides...it's not like the pedals came with the crankset, you had to buy them separately.

Why are you so obsessed with pedals?

what makes you think I am obsessed with pedals? :notamused: I asked one time. there are none pictured, not necessarily a given that you didn't have them. I'm sorry I can't read between the lines.

You don't need them... I know people who do... I happen to know two people searching for AX pedals at the moment and thought I'd ask.

The original pedals could bring a bit of $$... at least enough to buy some better hubs for such a nice frame :rolleyes:

my apologies for asking a serious question and momentarily derailing your hilarious thread. Continue. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry man. I've been getting bombarded with questions about the pedals, I thought your avatar looked familiar. I've had to stress several times now that these pedals have the adapter that allow me to use any pedals I want. Several people have said I'm basically screwed because the crankset only takes a specific kind of pedal and it was starting to get irritating. My apologies.

I can get you in touch with a person that some dura ace AX pedals.

Just convert it already. Hand-paint it with satin latex paint, throw some crappy, heavy 1-piece BMX cranks on there and flip the drops upside-down...homeless guy style.

maybe you can put toilet rolls as pedals. then not only do you have a lighter bike, you also have spares in case of emergency dioreah! (or jizzing your pants)does that bike give you a nice fit though? I always thought trolls were a little short..

btw, OP's bike needs origin 8 cranks, white chain, some rasta deep vs, threadless converter, soma velodrama bars with ourys (possible?). drew the frame and paint it with plasti-dip.

I was just having a bit of fun. My god, you people are sensitive little women.

Anyway, I road it for the first time today. I totally smoked my 4 year old niece. Left that midget in the dust...She was all out of breathe and ****.

She didn't cry like you guys though.

Jesus. Do ppl in this forum really not know what a troll is? To troll is to try an illicit an anticipated response. Like when someone asks if he should convert a really nice road bike. He knows everyone is going to say "NO YOU %R*&$*($& IDIOT!!". Becuase a couple people DID respond in that way, he was successful in his attempt to troll. He is the troll, not you. UNDERSTAND???

GODUGR8---no one is crying. You are just annoying.
