Fgg 3000
 

damnit!
bike 3000 on the fgg is a conversion ...wtf.

And a nice one it is.

man, i'm so over the conversion hating. track bikes are rad, but really, c'mon. it's not track bike gallery, it's fixed gear gallery. the pendulum will swing. it always does.

zOMFG NOT A CONVERSION DRAMA DRAMA WTF

:p

The guy took an old (pos) bike that his bike geek father had sitting in the garage, took the time to learn how to build up a proper conversion, laced his own wheels, and built up a nice bike.

He did it himself, learned the skills he needed, and is proud of his work, as well he should be.

Sounds like a fine canidate for #3000, and as bruce said, it's fgg not tbg.

sorry

... some of us are really cheap. :D

I think that bike is sweet...and you can tell he put a lot of time into putting it together

3000 already, damn

Isn't a conversion kind of the essence of the whole fixed gear thing? Simple, cheap, reliable? Working with what you have? Maybe its just me but I think a conversion is a very fitting #3000, or #2688, or #5,794... I didn't realize that 3000 was a magic number.

i love it when people throw pre-conversion pictures into the mix. before and afters rule.

He did an amazing job on that bike. One of the few conversions that I actually really really like. Nice simple, cohesive build. Just goes to show that some people have an innate sense of style.

I want some of those yellow michelins...

And I bet its rider is a hipster... with a chrome bag... full of pies... and jam... etc. etc. etc.

he needs to plug up those water bottle cage holes.

his top photo is also photoshopped.

they're vittorias. probably rubinos. probably about $30 if your lbs carries them or you order them. rubinos are the jam. (as some folks would say)

did anyone see this photo? absolutely beautiful.

It's the Fixed Gear Gallery, not the Track Bike Gallery.

Remember that old commercial when the guy litters on the road, and the Indian has a single tear? Yeah, I was like that...

Oh wait... who cares, its a really nice bike.

its a nice conversion, but i must admit i too was hoping for some crazy track bike. im still impressed they got up to 3000. crazy.

what's so special about 3000?

Oh yeah, and nice bike.

God what an amazing bike.

I don't know why, but this might be my favorite I have seen on FGG so far.

I freaked out when I opened the page.

could have been worse - it could have been a pista... hhaha

wakeuponfire-
thats my favorite bike, and picture, of all 3000. totally amazing
