Met a roadie who actually lubed my chain today WITH HIS lube!!!!!! met him at the LBS lol.
But yeah. The bike he had (Madone 6 series) inspired me to build a ss off a road bicycle frame. (eccentric hub/chain tensioner).
QUESTION: Anyone ever BOUGHT a road bike frame (no old-school conversions count) such as a Look 586 or like a Trek 2.1 (Oviously very expensive- giving you the idea of what im getting at) and converted to a ss?
I know its a crazy idea. Buying a road frame like Cinelli Estrada or like a new Carbon Fiber framed bike and converting to a ss.
I mean, like building a Road Bike. Something that when people see it, they don't see the FG/SS scene. They see the Roadie scene. But the catch: Its a singlespeed.
I swear. Like for example, buying a Cervelo R3 (

OMg guys im dreaming so big right now. I just wanted to throw this idea out to see what you guys thought
