I'm very interested in doing this... please show me what yours look like! Thanks!

this was my first beater fixie

those bars were mighty comfy.





mod edit: I fixed the link.

Here you go

damn those colors are sweet.

wow, my bike looks almost nothing like this now, but you can see the cinelli stem and old shallow-drop bars that I chopped:

This is my beater Schwinn Sprint I found in the trash.

I'll post a better picture when I get home.

I used to use Chimay corks for bar plugs (including the metal Champagne-style cap thing), but people would always steal them.

oh! i used chimay corks too. never had 'em stolen though, but they looked sweet

That's federal hill park, right? I always wanted to take a sled down that hill. Or a bike! But I'm too skeerd.

This picture is almost a year old, the bike looks almost nothing like this anymore.
I chopped the stock, Deda Track drops that came on it, which gave the bullhorns a real nice, semi-circle shape. Very comfortable.

It is. I have seen others go down it when it snowed. It is not the hill that scares me, but the road a the bottom and the incompetent bmore drivers.

Chopped mine an hour ago. Here it is.

Ok ... loose the gears str8flexed. You are surrounded. Give up and you will have a fair trail!!

Your horns looked familiar, I chopped mine the same way. I have a schwinn with the same geometry

I actually just removed the front derailleur and other larger gear last night at 2 a.m.

And...my kickstand (finally!). Now my bike is a lot lighter, but still heavy.

I am still considering whether I should remove the rear derailleur and make it a single speed/fixie, b/c I'm still not quite sure what kind of resistance (gear ratio) I would ultimately like. I just got into biking.

Inner ring 42 tooth count ...

Are you young and strong ... or at least well on your way to get strong?

Go first with a 16 tooth cog 3/32nds of an inch wide. Keep both brakes for a while.

That is what I did and I cannot complain .... love the thing. The horns will help you position your body for enhanced climbing, so the lack of gear will not be as critical.

Local/friendly bike shop can do it for you, or do it yourself ... you gonna love it.

While you are at it, get yourself some MTB shoes and pedals. Safety and efficiency in one package.

man, what kind of frame is that?

Never saw that around savvy town. Damn man, nice ride.

Thanks. It's a Yamaguchi pursuit frame. It just got repainted and will be receiving a bunch of new goodies -- pics soon.

sigh...i remember when you first posted that bike

it was pristine

now look at it

I don't keep expensive wall art and the street is a dirty, rough place. But you'll be happy to know that it's presently looking quite pristine in its new, shiny pearl white paintjob.

How do I post a pic?

i think thats the GT track frame?? could be mistaken though

k never mind, i read up and saw that the this question was already answered and therefore i am a loser

some super banged up Nitto's that got the flop 'n chop. Definetly the best bars I've ridden so far.

Your bikes make me jealous. Where'd you get it painted?

Bah. In my opinion, your KHS is near-perfection. Did you ever post photos here or FGG?

Kyle painted it in exchange for the Flash image galleries I made for him.
