gyuk gyuk.

hey ma, git off the dang ruff!!!!

Looks it to me.. Maybe neon orange. I think its pink though.

i'm told that it's sort of a day-glo orange-pink.

sweet gundam, bro!

might it be that the lighting is weird? looks like the KHS aerotrack aluminum version, which came in red - the tape is covering the original decals thus it has the original paint job?

Yeaa! Rustoleum sells that. It's great.

are we talking about the good ol days of skyway mags??

Some of them actually have a hub, some fronts can be converted (by "axle adapters") to become rear FG for track use.

really? thats pretty rad.
(edit) wait, wouldnt there be a dish problem?!(/edit)

You got more detailed answer by ZappCatt in #22 above. He is also right saying that the freewheel ones are the universal ones (I have never seen the casette version)
No, there is no issue with the chainline when you use the adapter.

One thing I forgot to mention was that the chainline adjuster does not allow for a lockring. Due to the fact that it screws onto the freewheel hub, a lockring would cause the whole assembly to spin off.
They are geared for track use, but I believe some people have used them on the streets(I use a brake when I use mine on the street)

I have seen a couple cassette versions on eBay, such as this one.

ehhh?

I thought a troglodyte was either a prehistoric being or an animal (ape of some kind) that, either way, would be unable to declare an allegiance to a state.

jacobpriest -- my boyfriend's bike actually fits your description (pursuit + 650 front/700 rear carbon HED trispokes):

it's a bit uncomfortable for longer rides and he's had trouble w/ his rear wheel in the past couple of weeks. in fact, it sounds like it's gonna crack apart any minute now but i think it has more to do w/ his gearing than the integrity of the wheel itself? but we don't know the problem so i'm just talking out of my arse right now..

yeah i saw that one and thought it was pretty rad.
yikes about the wheel, when you find out what happens/happened be sure to share with with all of us.

ZAPP-
those people who used the freewheel adapter for track w/o the lockring, do you think they rota-fixed it on or did something of the sort?

I rode a spinergy carbon wheel on my GT pursuit bike for a year or two.

They're fast as all hell, but you either have to have a lot of money to buy a new one when it goes out of true (which it will if you ride any reasonable distances on city streets), or you'll have to deal with it until it almost explodes. In other words, you'll either need deep pockets, or a deathwish. I guess you could also live in a city like SF where you don't have to ride more htan 5 miles to get anywhere.

As for pursuit bikes with 650c fronts, I ride a dual 700c pursuit bike now, and I'm much happier. Pics forthcoming soon!

EDIT: On the note of the adapters: They are really only good for track use (and non-match sprint events, at that). I tried JB welding one to my spinergy, and it basically destroyed the hub. They help with chainline, but they're just another point of failure for a street rig.

If anyone knows where to find a white 3-blade (like the one that dude has in the M*A*S*H video) do NOT tell me! ;)
