Wacky Willy's Pedal Force Plastique Fantastique

- repost of pic in original RS thread of my ss/fixie (driveway was in shade at time of pic, otherwise i would have used the obligatory garage door)... i love this bike and it's quite a comfortable ride...

- i did find that the top bearing of the shorty IS-2 Cane Creek headset sits a touch high in the upper headtube, but this ended up being a nice feature, obviating the need for multiple 'shim washers'...

- also, contrary to other postings, i have found the ID14 fork to be quite adequate for my beefy physique... cutting the fork carbon tube was a snap, accomplished in eight forward strokes with a brand new 32TPI hacksaw blade from Homeless Despot while the fork was clamped into my Park SG-6 saw guide...

- other parts were scavenged from my two-speed Specialized Allez conversion (see sig linky)...

- i was initially worried about the potential frameset appearance when i ordered 'with logos,' but as you can see, PF wisely chose to use diminutive artwork only on the headtube and tops of the fork, and not the obscenely grotesque layouts favored by most discount bike shops...

- i plan to put at least 3,000 miles on this bike before adding on some 9spd DA bling gear i have stashed away:
