Once I get everything together, I'll post it up. But the RD hanger I was sent with the frame is broken, so I need to call, but other than that. . . Neon green zip ties on a black frame looks sweet. (I want to run full length cable housing, so I had to zip tie the housing on because the frame was not designed for it, yellowjeep, you should know what I'm talking about. . .)

Well, I may or may not have just finished building up the frame that I may have gotten. If I did in fact get this hypothetical piece of equipment, the chainstays would be quite short and make the bike super snappy in comparison to my Can-o-ale not so sober handling characteristics. If any of this happened at all, I would get pictures, and maybe videos of it floating in the air with someone on the back.

We had what was probably the same rain two days ago. The heaviest part of the storm hit as a friend and I were riding the fastest rollercoster at King's Island (80mph). In the very front.

Hey, is there any way to easily convert to fixie with one wheel, but still be able to use gears on another (as in using the RD as a tensioner).
Well, I couldnt get any good video today, but I love that frame. I can actually hold a manual for longer than 5 feet now. And from a track stand, I can pull up (without pedaling) and stay on the rear wheel for a few seconds. And, from almost any speed, I can manual at least the wheel base of the bike, which means manualing off of drops is really easy.

There's flip flop hubs, but you'd likely need a bike with horizontal drops to use it.

I think I'll just pedal all the time. Sounds a lot cheaper
#1517
Either way you are going to need a bike with horizontal drop outs to get chain tension. Its generally accepted that a tensioner is not a good idea for a fixed gear (see how I didn't say fixie). A flipfop rear wheel is pretty cheep, you can find complete wheelsets for around 100 bucks.
Anyway
Where are the pictures of the new ride?

Not MTB, but I was near a place that MTBing was available. Not sure if you can see these :
