Whenever I see the word "chimo" I think... child molester.

That would be "chomo" although "chimo" fits better lol. Regardless, I removed the decals tonight. Removing stickers as old as me is not a simple task

Been a long time since I've heard of "Chimo."

I used to work for the importer.

How does everyone feel about the rear rack?

looks ok

bfloyd6969 05-16-12 12:25 AM

Rack looks good, but now the brake is gone. Curious, why did you opt for it in the rear and not front (the brake)?

broakland 05-16-12 07:33 AM

Youre missing a brake on the front: unless you're riding freewheel with just back brake (not safe) or you're riding fixed with a back brake (pointless)

xxxfattonyxxx 05-16-12 09:11 AM

First off I didn't ask about the brake lol. I was only running the rear temporarily till my front caliper arrives (today). I am WELL aware that the rear only sucks a fat one :thumb:

Rack looks good, clean bike.

Bike and the rack look good. Nice job.

Foot retention?

Those are clipless pedals I just have the clip in platforms on, It's single speed at the moment anyway. Getting pedals and clips tomorrow hopefully since I cant afford nor do I care to get clipless shoes

Got some platforms, clips and straps from my lbs today. Supposedly the first sealed bearing road pedal, either way I like them.
