NEw to forums...weeeEEee
 

Just got my first road bike. Ever. KHS frame.. I think a mtb frame but the geometry seems more road.. who knows. Random parts on it to make it a single speed fun as hell bike! The chainring is 40t at the moment.. ordered a 44t to be in tuesday. I might build up a fixed one day, but I honestly dont care about it right now, besides I had a blast earlier tonight just riding some local roads.

I stripped the paint off with some toxic crap.. then just put some cheap ass clear coat on it (half ass job, but you cant tell really).
I road bmx for about 4 years or more maybe.. spent lots of time and money on our trails and my bikes.. then dropped it like a bad habit.. too much "oh im 15 ft in the air and im squirrelly.. SMASH!!" .. bleh.
Then I bought a gt aggressor, good bike, but still didnt do it for me. This bike though, man.. it's actually bizarre how fun it is, even to just put around some parking lots :D

Anyways, Ill get carried away if I dont stop now. Im excited as hell to be on a bike again, and ss/fix is something that Im glad im into now :) ..

later
oh.. crappy pics attached (but I like them) taken with my spectacular polaroid $100 digital camera..

excited is rad...i think bikes are exciting.

yeah man. excited is good. bike looks pretty sweet, too.

thanks.
I'll get some better pics tomorrow most likely

looking forward to it.

very nice ride...

I like the unpainted/clear coated look.... I would convert that rear axle to non-quick-release tho.

heres a shot of a little 2ball for you, enjoy.

It looks like an internal cam... as long as it's a steel shaft QR, you should be fine.

However, a rear brake on that SS would make me feel a little better. Or, make it a fix. :) Looks nice though.

Yeah,, me too. Im rockin it on my fixed. Ill throw up some crappy phone cam pics this afternoon.

Riding last night, I tried as hard as I could to endo.. couldnt do it. Even with the vbrake. So, either there isnt enough stopping power, or the sweep headtube/forks is keeping it settled. I'm gonna switch the front brake around today with another I have lying around, see if that changes much.
So far as running a rear brake.. I'm not going to at the moment. The main reason is that I dont really need it (please let's not get into this debate.. another thread is there for it lol) after confirming how it stops last night. The other is I REALLY like the clean look, infact Ill most likely shave the guides off soon.
Im not sure if I like straight bars for long rides yet. Darting in and out of tight spots I love it.. but I caught myself wanting to go lower on some long straights.

aannnyways.. sun is hiding.. might not take good pics, but new pics coming today.

I dont mean to hijack your thread... but I have an even *****IER camera than you, and a bike with a similar finish. Thought Id share:
