My Venge Hybrid in process. I am going to post more photos in the hybrid sub forum. Hopefully I will be riding it next week. So far, it looks like it was meant to be like this all along. The only thing that looks really odd in person is the cassette looks huge.

its a stock feature!
yeah man. I'm surprised they fit with room to spare. I got 3rd overall on a road segment the other night after I put them on...they're definitely not slowing me down. and these are the cheap wire beads I tossed on just to try out. I might end up going with the nicer ones of I decide I really like these.

ive been faster ever since i went from 23mm-32mm tires bitd and ive never looked back. my tires just keep getting bigger lol
one of the best things about fatter rubber (imo) is you dont get the **** kicked out of you so much so you can ride longer without getting so worn out, which = faster avg speed

Picked this up from the elderly bike guy up the road. Put a few thousand kms on it last summer, rekindled my love of bikes. Then I got a fixed gear and that Olmo took stable for the winter. Got it out once recently and the freewheel feels so chaotic...
Edit: yo Johnny that bike is dope. I like the ziptie cable routing a lot.

Guess I'll have to check out the Hybrid forum for my 1st time ever just to see what they think...but out of curiosity - are you really proud of this?

In my opinion, it looks great. And, the guys at the shop were all surprised how much they like it, too. All of us that have seen it in person are surprised by how much it looks like it was meant to be this way, in place of a frankenbike. Proud of it??? I am going out on the first real ride since the conversion this morning. If I like the way it rides I will be very proud of my "new" bike.
