I think its some sort of small chain with padding on it so that his seat wont get stolen. Though why anyone would steal that seat is completely beyond me.

you must tell us more
06 Pake in almost all black. 07 Specialized Langster in Grey (My friends, I gotta fix up his headset.) As far as bar tape, Im still unsure about the drops for now. Might slip on a set of bullhorns, just to see how it looks. If/when I decide to stick with the drops (most likely) Im gonna fully cover them up with white grips, rather than white tape. Its easier to deal with. |

why did you take off the pretty fork for the ugly one? don't you know this is fixed gear. that means form before function. I'll take the old fork if you don't want it. also, serindipper called dibs first, but I said I was going to use it. R.I.F. |

Lets just say Ive put in some miles in not only NYC but also a handful of the other major cities in the state. I also ride nearly daily on Chicago streets with an Easton EC90 full carbon fork. Its just like all the other components, if you pay even slight attention to them over time then a catastrophic failure shouldnt sneak up on you.
|
I though carbon was hard to detect though? I get your point though, I guess carbon is just a thing I'm not too comfy with for daily abuse. If it comes to racing, that's a different case

I use to commute daily in Los Angeles with A Reynolds Ouzo Pro, no problems at all. And the streets in LA are way worse than New York (not alot of earthquakes there). Plus I was 240 # at one point.

For an extra $30 get the Forte Axis Pro. It's full carbon (as opposed to carbon blades + alloy steerer) and weighs something like 200-300g less, no joke.

Here's my quite new and totally lovely bike. It's an old (late 70s maybe) handmade and lugged Harry Quinn track frame with a mix of Campa, Miche Primato, Dura-Ace etc. components. And yes, I've been riding a around with the bare drops but I'll be switching to a narrow straight bar with Ourys once I'll found a nice stem. A front brake will be added also since the fork is drilled. |

Here's my Motobecane Nomad

yeah...I'm gonna throw a front brake on there soon. No toe clips though, I'm not into those, and the dangly thing is just a piece of tube I was messing around with. I dunno about another link in the chain, the bike shop set the back tire up.
