i always wonder, how much less weight is it a double vs single butted tube of the same material? does it realy worth it, or the craftmanship could be a bigger part of it?

Campy's come out with a winter specific model: "Ice"

haha I have that fender too but I didn't realize it was going to be icy today. When I left the house it wasn't snowing (the streets were perfectly dry) and I was thinking only flurries for today:o
Today's the 1st time, in a month I think, that the snow has finally stuck

Make sure you treat the underside of that Brooks.

A NOS Casati from the 80's. Rootbeer with orange lettering.

After I wax the frame a few times [to reduce chips] and framesaver it, it's getting built up as follows:

Track wheels:
Wolber Profil 20 aero hardox tubulars to Campy NR 28h tied and soldered, with Conti Tempo 22 tires.

Street wheels:
Phil Wood fix/fix to Mavic OPs 32h/32h

3TTT Pista bars
Campagnolo NR 26.8 2 bolt seatpost
NOS Turbo Saddle
110 Salsa Stem
Time pedals
Campy Record Pista Cranks 165 46t
Campy Record HS
Campy Record Cartridge BB

Yep too lazy to look for a shim! It was getting dark too and 2.8 focal length an only get so much light! I did not have my flash with me that time!

nice prolly, be sure to post when that italian is built up.

No more concept? I loved that bike, but this frame is a beauty too.

Your neighborhood grocery store gives away an item called a "plastic bag" free with every purchase. Look into it.

Mmm... rootbeer. Who the hell keeps that in storage for 20+ years?

Oh I didn't even know this existed, but anyways I'm brand new to riding a Fixie so here's mine, just built it up today, it's a Pake frame with spare Bianchi Pista parts.

It was fermenting. It's better with age.

Badum crash.

Or ride with steel toe boots, so when you need to stop you can stick your foot into the spokes.

unfortunately i couldn't keep my big mouth shut about the deal i got on the frame and two of my friends bought the same frame =\, one of which goes the same school as me. ohhhh well :)

Get a new fork for the Pake. They are crap. I changed mine out to a CF fork that I picked up and I love it so much more.

could you post a close-up of the frame tensioners? ;)

mine must be malfunctioning. they do nothing for my frame tension.


(okay, I'll stop)

it wasn't until he put those on that his frame became alum. it used to be a sparton.

yea i can post a pic when i get home (if u were talking about my tensioners)

i think they are great for tension and great to center the wheel =)

and then run a brake.

WOAH!
1st of all there gonna have a ****IN ABSINTHE KEG and that chick is hot.

I LOL'd.
