183rd Street Frameset (completed build; lots of big pictures)

[00o00]

So I know some of you guys think its “hipster” to take pictures of your bike and post it, but I wanted to show off this particular frameset because it’s fairly new, and I love it!! It’s called 183rd street frame and fork. When I originally set out picking a frame there wasn’t very much information about this frameset; i.e. specs, pictures, etc. None the less here I am with the frameset, and I hope I can make it easier for the next person looking for a great frameset buy. It’s a full Chromoly welded track frameset, drilled for brakes and the frame has seat tube water bottle braze-ons. The frame price is in $300s, depending on where you get one. As I just finished the build I haven’t put very many miles on it (I have about 7 right now hahaha), but I can say that it rides great so far! The quality is perfect, I tried to nit-pick, but have yet to find anything wrong, its flawless.

In b4 "fix ur saddle"

[deathhare]

Try to fix that saddle soon.


Let me guess..you wear black on the outside because black is how you feel on the inside?

[johnnytheboy]

if your saddle is pointed down, it means its too high.
lower the post and level that sh it.

[Retem]

you know there is a sticky for this sort of thing right at the top of the page

looks like u wrapped ur handlebars with a trashbag.

[paulismydog]

looks to me like you got a pretty cushy livin' situation.....

[00o00]

haha thanks guys, this is my first time with this type of bike... so I'm still learning, i.e. the handlebar situation... I have been working on the seating position; I'll try lowering it and flattening it next.

Thanks for the comments and tips!

[killerfixie]

diggin the all black. Agreed though about the saddle. Personal preference: get better straps for your clips. Fabric ones suck, especially with single gate clips.
Cushy living situation or not, if youve got the money to spend, might as well get a nice bike.

I like those dropouts with the integrated tensioner. nice.

[johnnytheboy]

line your tire labels up with your valve stem.
rookie.

[j3ffr3y]

all I could think while looking at that bike was that the saddle must be bad to sit on with an angle like that. Other than that looks fine. but get a black chain and chainring and pedals.

[bratton]

saddle fix pls

I like those dropouts with the integrated tensioner. nice.
