Eh...that's a little too BMX (I don't know do BMX bikes still have TT, stem and bar pads?) slash fixie hipster for me....I like a nice clean look...which is what is killing me with the current setup. I got a set of Jagwire housing guides holding the housing but it is sloppy looking...and the housing flexes all over the place which makes the rear brake mushy and lack feel.

I have been looking at getting a custom Bob Jackson that is a mix of their track bike and one of their road bikes...I want to go with the internal cable routing of the rear brake in the TT just like my Merckx....basically I want my Merckx with track drops, no DT shifter bosses or HT cable guides, no FD brazeon tab and no RD housing guide.

Now I see it..
They make the 38 in black and the 42 in chrome.

That's by FAR the best looking group buy frame yet.

LOL I wish...I would have gotten more than one if that was $150.

Sank-a-You, Gurrrass-a-choppah!

You gave the review that I was hoping to read. I'm excited because my "other" frame is a mountain-track hybrid made of Dedacciai Zero Uno tubing with Long Shen Lugs, and I can't wait to have that up and running too! :D

I am running these jagwire guides too, the only way to have the housing more stable and improve the brake feel is to use zip ties on the clips instead of their C-Clasps. It does look messy, you are right.

get on it slacker! :D

You're going to be rich.

That would look great with a Miche seatpost;).

As you know...very soon...with better lighting in the photo. :beer:

What kind and what size bottom bracket is everyone using on their group buy frame? What cranks are you using with said bottom bracket?

I am going to be using a 107mm shimano BB with some converted double cranks for the time being. I hate to have to run the chainring on the inside of the spider. I would like to upgrade to some SS/fixed specific cranks in the future.

I have the same BB with converted Sugino cranks, and I was able to comfortably run my chainring on the outside. I made have flubbed the chainline a bit, but it's a 1/8" chain on a 3/32" chainring and cog, so there's room to flub.

sugino rd2 cranks. Matching sugino 68 X 103 BB.--chainring on outside of spider

I'm using a Shimano UN73 107mm BB with some old Shimano 600 cranks, chainring on the outer position. Or should I say I *will* be, once I get this thing built. The crank & BB are installed and the chainline looks like it'll be perfect. I just ordered by wheel parts from Harris yesterday: Harris hubs, Mavic CXP-33 rims, DT Competition spokes. Everything is silver.

Got a set of jagwire cable guides coming, too.

I KNOW, RIGHT!?

IT'S LIKE I'M SELLING MY SAN RENSHO ALL OVER AGAIN!

Here is mine; not as beautiful as the others, but a nice budget fixed/singlespeed.

MUUUUUURAHHH-----its the call of the wild canadian moose, as it brandishes its large rack of antlers.

eh.

that frame is shot like cheap california porn

totally

anybody remember what the seattube collar size was?

Tony said it was 29.6mm, but the collar that came with the frameset is actually 30.0mm.

pics of mine will be up soon!
