my early christmas present
I recently made a promise to myself to try and ride and possible race this spring/summer. Probably race at kissena and the thursday night races at prospect park. I was planning on buying a new bike but really didnt have the cash to. so instead i bought a new wheelset from nashbar. I was all excited about my new purchase until today. My fiance remebered me mentioning the deal at chucksbikes.com and this was waiting for me when i got home. well it was in the box but you all get the idea
It was pretty much assembled except for the stem and seatpost. Miche hubs, sugino 75 49 tooth crank with a 15 miche cog in the rear. I will probably put some nitto bars on and see how that feels.

Sounds like you've got a keeper there. And I'm not talking about the bike

That's a great deal. I was tempted to buy it for the drivetrain, and selling the rest of the components. If I had the capitall it woulda been a good deal on a Miche track group.
Oh yeah, and great fiance as well. Color me green.

I've seen your 04 on fixedgeargallery. How is it riding in the streets? I noticed that the downtube seems kinda thin.

PS. No, really. It was good to see that. Sorry I added fuel to the fire in that other thread.

I think this bike will see more track miles than street but if your in the park I'm the slow asian guy riding the blue fixie.

now, i'm the happiest mother ****er you'll ever meet. having a girl who rides (and who's faster than me any day) is the best. the ****ing best.
edit; nice bike, Brooklyn! that's a nice damn gift.
