Hi everyone, I've lurked SSFG for about a year but never posted.
I've been abroad for the past 2 months and am unable to ride anything but this:http://cs-tsuno.ftw.jp/picm/000000028.jpg highly functional, but not much for speed :roflmao: Anyways I really miss my fixed gear so I'll post it for you guys to see. Many bad and a few good ideas went into making it :lol: This was right after I finished painting (bad idea #1) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...k/100_1320.jpg This part I am proud of: handmade wood bar ends http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...k/100_1315.jpg Bar tape is messed up in this one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...k/100_1326.jpg Poorly made tube pad, one of the first things to fix when I get back (Pipe insulation + $3 hawaiian pawn shop shirt) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...k/100_1345.jpg This bike was already converted when I bought it. The frame is an '84 (I think) Schwinn Super Series. About 7 weeks until I'm riding it again! |
I feel your pain!
I am currently on a service trip (not involving Jesus) to D.C. The weather is 15 degrees warmer than it is at my uni, and this is such an amazing place to ride. I'm displeased! |
nice squirrel *hood* ornament...if you had hoods
|
Nice squirrel indeed! :D

That is one fat squirrel... maybe it's glandular?

Looks like a canadian ground squirrel to me (kind of like a gopher)

More for everyone who liked the squirrel. They bulk up a lot in Michigan to prepare for winter

+1 on the fat squirrel :D. i'm digging your wooden bars...but aren't you scared that if you're riding up an excessively steep hill you might break your bars O_o and eat pavement? i tend to put a lot of pressure on my bars when riding up hills xD. hope you having a good time in japan!

Can we get a picture of the bar unwrapped? I want to know if these are made out of stock lumber or are laminated.

Granted, it would be awesome to have some sturdy wooden bars, you guys have the wrong idea :p Only the plugs are wood Here's a pic so you can see more clearly. They are from an old broom handle that I found in my basement :lol: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...k/100_1312.jpg |
