Gary Fisher Kaitai ghetto conversion...been running strong for 2 seasons of riding now (about 3 rides a week for the past two years on this particular bike plus one SS race) and I just threw some new treads on it. I run 32/16 normally, but I have it set up for 32/18 in this picture, which is the first time I have ever tried this combination. I ride very hilly and rocky terrain so I thought it would help, but I'm going to switch back to 16t becuase I just feel I can't carry my momentum as well with an 18t cog.
Sure, it looks like a clown bike with the blue tires, but they were uber cheap.

650c? How hard it is to find good tires in that size?

Finally finished putting the Kogswell together and took it out for a ride. Seems faster but I don't have any way to measure it.... sure is quiet. It's a Kogswell G58 frame with a Miche Primato crank and bottom bracket. Miche chainwheel is 46 teeth and EAI cogs are 17 and 19, all 1/8". Hubs are IRO fixed/fixed laced to Sun CR18 rims with Sapim 14g spokes. The chain is an HKK Vertex with MKS chain tensioners. The front brake is a Kogswell (Promax?) and the rear is a Tektro 521AG. Levers are Tektro 200 mounted on a Nitto Randonneur bar and Technomic stem. Saddle is a Specialized Alias and the seatpost is an American Classic. I am looking forward to a long ride tomorrow.

That is a great SS MTB...if you're ever in the Rochester area you should check out the Dryer Road MTB area. You and my boy Andrew will have the only two SS machines there.
