^^horrifying.

i'd be totally down with that bike if it wasn't for the color scheme and the hoods. Get some bar end levers. I'd recomend getting silver 75s or something but since I assume you dropped a pretty penny on those you'll stick with them.

I think it would look good without the green tires. That shade of pink does NOT match that shade of green. To add insult, neither of those colors match the black of the bike.

That's saying a lot due to black's ability to absorb all colors. The shades of pink and green represented on this bike are, apparently, not colors at all!

Lol! I did say those are my all season tires - sorry, wasn't about to sacrifice traction for a pair of color-coordinated black slicks!

I agree with the bar end levers, but I pretty much used what I had lying around, and they are surprisingly comfy.

Dayvan Cowboy - I like the silver sugino's as well, but as a girl, I figure I can use as much pink as I want!

black can absorb all color wavelengths of light.

doesn't mean it can fix a nasty color combination aesthetic. the bike is awesome but it definitely needs some white or black tires once the snow goes away.
in addition, omghi2u.

Glad to inspire your utility build Riff. Once you get those black or pinks, it'll be all set.

All nerded out (but it will definitely have multiple looks to it. I may take the fenders off and use the other ones)

Sheer beauty Gyeswho! Thanks for keeping up the inspiration! Will you be mounting racks as well?

Photoshop gave me a view of both... I am inclining toward the black...

Thanks. I'll be throwing a rack on it from time to time

Honestly I like pink better

Decisions, decisions... Although we're having a warm spell, I'm not fooled! I figure I have a couple of months to decide on the tire color!

black tires and this:

That is sweet.... But I my Brooks! It does give it a nice symmetry, though.. Maybe a pink seatpost collar instead?

Finished (sort of) my late 90's SS Trek 7000 aka my beater bike, which isnt so beater anymore:
I'll be changing the saddle and seatpost, and gearing soon. Right now it is 42x15. I'm probably going to end up somewhere around 38x16. Its mainly used for commuting. Its a blast to ride though. Having brakes makes my balls bigger!

Oh that's just bad advice. Those saddles are horribly uncomfy. I was hurting bad after only riding for 3miles

pink collar, black chain, and you decide if you want the pink or black tires

I'm liking this

go with the better tire
not the color.

That's awesome!

i think white would look pretty good. my gf has a black bike with pink cranks and white tires and it looks nice IMO.

Swobo Sanchez

Soma wheelset, Major Taylor bars, Ensho saddle and matching bar tape. Phil BB and CK headset.

i can dig it.

Sorry to cross post, but here's mine with the new bars. Having a blast on it :-)

a fan.

that trek 7000 is sweeeet!

and that sanchez looks a little like one revolution cycles built up, with the kyotoloco cranks and all. i hate that stem though... yeesh. it would be perfect with a silver thompson x2.

this is the photo thread, crossposting is mandatory here.

here's my disker now that it's ridable:





i'll either sell it or wait till i have some money to actually build it like the cyclocross bike it wants to be. i know the drop trial bars look ****ed with that stem but it looked stupid flipped negative rise.

it's comfy, lots of clearance, and i got it for super cheap. it actually fits me now that i have cranks on it.
