Would be even more killer with a matching fork! But as it is, it's still a beauty.

I think the fork/stem/handlebars look distractingly out of place, personally.

Add another who'd like to hear what you think of your GP Classics...have a set sitting in my parts box waiting to go on one of my bikes at its next tire replacement
Speaking of which.. @bdumas35, I notice in your profile you have a RB-1? That is my bike that I'd be putting the Conti Classics on...could you please post a pic of yours in the geared bike thread? I am short so mine is tiny and seeing the size of your SS Trek, am curious to see a tall RB-1.
edit...ooops, on 2nd glance I see is an MB-1, never mind

I'm curious as to how the Conti Classics compare to the Panaracer Paselas. Any experience with both?

Minor change to the Motobecane Messenger. Replaced the steerer tube spacer mount bell with a bar mount bell that I removed from my chrome Soma Rush. It looks better and is a lot louder.

My first single speed! How'd I do?
So, I have never had a single speed before. I have a buddy that has a Specialized Langster Tokyo edition that I always thought was cool. I found this little gem on my local Craig's List and added a few parts I had to make it more "me".
What do you think?

It is perfectly nice but not worth its own thread. Maybe @Leukybear can merge it.

Since I get to see it in person, my opinion differs a little. The tires will be gone after I have gotten some decent use out of them, and I will stick with black after these. The chain, I think, looks pretty good in person. I do not know for sure if I will stick with red in the future or not, but for now I like it.
