Long Shen 300 series

They're great!

Here's my new Soma Rush 08. Here's a list of components:

-59 cm Soma Rush 08 frame in pearl white
-Chrome straight blade fork. Not the one that comes with a Rush
-Campagnolo Record Headset
-No name chrome stem
-some old sweep back flat bars that I had
-no name chrome seat post
-Brooks Pre-Aged B-17 saddle
-Orange Velocity Deep V's laced to steel blue Milwaukee hubs
-Planet Bike Race Blade fenders for the winter
-Sugino bottom bracket
-Sugino crank set

It has 46-15 gearing which isn't too bad for the city of Milwaukee. Got bored today because it's -31 degrees outside today with the windchill, so I took these pictures. Enjoy.

I forgot to mention it, but thanks to Yellow Jersey in Madison for hooking me up.

You wouldn't happen to know a Devin Arch in Milwaukee would you? he has a Pink Bianchi roadie and a chrome Raleigh fixed gear. He goes to MIAD. Just thought you may have rode with him at one time.

Yeah I know him. We have a thursday night bike ride in Milwaukee, and I've ridden with him on that a few times. Nice guy.

Is that Pepto amongst all the beer bottles?

Why yes...yes it is.

I looove that rear fender on that Soma Rush

good-lookin rush. i love the pearl white. you gotta get some bar end plugs, though.

What fork is that?

that klavinka is amazing

Are there any that aren't?


*unless of course we're talking whole-build, here. then i'm sure we can rely on pedalmafia to prove me wrong

yeah the kalavinka is one of the all around nicest bikes i've seen

Sometimes necessary if you're drinking Blue Moon.

Not mine, but I thought this was a nice bike:

That paint job made me throw up a little in my mouth.

**** yes that guy does some great paint jobs for his bikes

This my Bianchi Pista, not younger than 2001. Except for the seatpost, headset and hubs nothing is stock!

That's the only Pista I've seen that looks like one I'd be willing to ride...minus the brakes

finally got my new wheelset (yes I know it looks like a coffee bike, but I ride it and like it)

Better picture of my pista, the other one didn't really show the color.

so sexy! what kind of cranks are on your Pista?

I don't know what kind of fork it is. They had a bunch of them at yellow jersey, and it was a little cheaper than the soma fork. I kinda wanted a straight blade anyways. It has the same rake as the soma fork too, so it didn't change the handling at all.

Hey all. Stumbled upon the site while looking for fixie pics.

Here's my whip. It's my first roadbike/fixie build. The frame is a Bertolli or something similar sounding. I forgot to save the stickers. Rims are Saavedra tubulars with a track hub out back. Campy cranks (which obviously aren't on). I stripped the paint, cut off all the lugs for shifter stuff, cables and water cages and brazed the holes. Then I took a DA sander to the frame and did a little detailing to the frame then cleared it. Looks pretty cool in the sun. Bullhorned the stock bars and threw an old school BMX MX brake lever on. Here's a couple pics.

the truvativ tuoro track cranks that come stock on most off the peg track bikes.
