whoooeee

wow...just wow.

what the **** is the point of that? ^^^^

campy made hi-lo strada hubs for a short time in an effort to normalize spoke tension..
but this looks like a prototype or one-off pista version, made with a rivetted-on early gran sport type flange..

you can bet there are not too many of those out there

This is lovely---but too small for me, sigh:

i think i just PEED :eek:

No $hit! That is amazing.

is there a way to make your browser translate yahoo japan auctions into english?

Mavic TT bar, god I love these things, but just don't have a bike for them right now.

babel fish wont do it

many things can be tried, nothing will be effective

google translate is decent. if not entertaining at least.

yeah `effective' is a relative term. I meant `for sure enough for me to start entrusting my money to someone/thing based on the translation.' for this I don't know of any good enough engine.

ending very soon

arg...i can't believe i missed that. 75 dollars!

Must resist temptation
 

Why is it that even knowing there is no way that bike will fit me, I have to resist trying to buy it? And I don't even like green that much!

hey, i'm new to bikes and i've been looking for an inexpensive fixed gear frame and i came across this one on ebay for only $199.98, but it costs $139.00 to ship. do you think that's a good deal? it says 105 inches, is that the right size for me? what else do i need to buy to make it a fixed gear? where can i buy spoke cards?

that high low hub went for 1k and the schwinn went for 76 bucks

lol

hey, i'm kind of new to the whole fixie thing, and i was wondering if this seemed like a good starter bike: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/bik/376703608.html i'm going away at the end of the month, so i'd like to get one before that, so i can take it with me. and at the very least, i'd like one before school starts. i used to be all about bmx, so like i said, i know very little about this stuff.

thanks in advance.

First read Sheldon Brown where it seems like Puch is somewhat low end. Also found this thread.

definitely not worth $175, maybe $75. dont bother buying pre-built conversions, they're all rip-offs, and you should learn how to build it yourself.

To that end, when you want to unload a conversion, what's the best course of action: restoring the original drive train, etc., and possibly offering to throw in the fixed wheel/hub you were using, or selling it as a conversion for a non-rip-off price?

I like green but even if I didn't .... 25 years old, pristine collection item (if the seller can be believed), nice. I've been eyeing it even though I have little use for a frame that won't fit me. Still ...
