I did some more work on my **** kicker bike yesterday. I found a 400mm seatpost, which puts the saddle in a much better position ie: my knees aren't hitting my chest anymore. It looks funny now, long silver seatpost with a Fizik Arione on it and then the rest of the bike still looks ****ty. Today I'm going to repack the headset, hubs and bb, change the cables/housing and install the fenders. My friend at work is giving me a pair of 1.25" slicks. I'll need to true/tension the wheels too they are pretty sprong-y.

For some reason I'm really excited about this bike! I just realized yesterday when it is done it totally is going to have a 90's bike messenger vibe. Especially with the long seatpost.

Keith do you guys have anymore of those Sugino cranks? Did you say they were 175s?

Do any of you guys have or know of a rigid 1" mountain bike fork for not too much coin?
