Reminds me of the Sauber F1 paint job. I like the blue rims with yellow tires.

That black headtube is HOT ......and against the white pearlcoat? Noice!

heck yeah. you gonna try and make it out to the velo this year?

I haven't been out there since I was in high school. I went to HS in Wilmette so I was up in that neck of the woods often. I'd like to ride up for opening night. Then hit the Dairy Queen on Lake St. in Wilmette.

Once when I was like 18 I was pulled over by a Wilmette cop on Lake St at 3am because I was riding my bike. No bikes on Lake St!

raygunner, i'm glad that people like you are around to make me feel better about my obsession. my two bikes are mild and modest compared to your stuff.

just realized something.. i've got a white track frame fetish.

[QUOTE=raygunner]Not the best photo but here's my new frame.

Nice, is that the frame that kaiben_v(or something like that..) had on ebay a while back?

I dunno. I bought it from a guy in Canada. I though I used to see one like in Chicago...

was it trackasaurus? he had a bunch of those up on ebay late last year that he got from his local velodrome.

Right on, nice frame regardless.

It wasn't on eBay. I bought it from the guy direct. I don't think I can afford eBay's prices anymore. They're too nuts!

here is a pic of my Fixie rite now.. its an old 83 schwinn frame. nothing else on this bike is factory.. God knows how much money I put into it.. All I can say is it rides like a dream

and another

Cool fork!

That's a sexy beotch.

yea the fork is great! no problem

Some pics of (the evolution of) my fixie, circa last week. I've swapped the cranks and chain since then, and have commited and done away with the front brake all together. The bars get swapped around between some drops and these bullhorns (I know, I need to take that mess of a brake off)

Anyway, i liked the way these came out.

1) Mug Shot 2) God Made Me Special: Someone gave me this wristband while out one night; I thought the irony was enough to put it to use somewhere. 3) My brooks Team Pro 4) uhg. Unused brake cabling is soooo ghetto. 5) Obligatory chainline picture... is mine good? I have no idea what I should be looking at. It doesn't fall off or anything.

it kinda looks like you could move the chainring to the other side of the spider.

Nolageek:

What handlebar is that?

Yeah, I thought the chainring side was a little.. close. Never had any problems though. I'll post pics of the new cranks when I get them. thanks for the critique.

Leviathan: They're Toro Tsunami bullhorns that I picked up at Chucksbikes.com about a year ago. I love them, but they're a tad bit wider than I wanted. I'm thinking about getting rid of them though. Looking for some track drops. (I know, that's tacky on a conversion, but whatever. <g>)

1990 Pinarello Treviso track bike. An eBay aquisition (just the frame). Came with the original track fork, but it is a little to tight for the conti 700x25s. Anyway, I have enjoyed looking at everybody else's metal, so I thought I would contribute... here are the specs:
-Phil Wood high flange hubs tied to 32h open pros.
-Soma 17t cog
-Phil Wood BB
-Record crank (49t)
-Izumi 'Esh' 1/8" chain
-MKS sylvan pedals w/ MKS alu. toe clips
-3ttt pista handle bars, stem spinning around CK 2Nut headset
-Salsa seatpost (anybody else have one? extremely easy to adjust and not bad looking)
-Sela Italia saddle
Thanks for the past few months of inspiration.

alchemist,
wow i really like this bike. how much did you pay for the frame? what size?

alchemist -- nice ride! you must work in a chem lab, i'm assuming? (i'm a sucker for scientists on bikes, i don't know why)

The bike is 53cm (c-c). I paid $500 and an additional $15 to ship the frame and two forks from NYC. Felt a little guilty until I got the bike together.

looks great! I really like the bars. And the frame, of course!
