something about that just doesn't sit right with me. Actually I hate to say it but the whole thing I don't like. It's not that it is a bad build I just don't like it.

Besides the unicrown fork, your bike is great Gyeswho!
I've always wondered what the cap-less Dura-Ace cranks would look like on a fixed/SS with one chainring. I think you should try using the original chain-ring that came with the crankset, they look great together! Considering the size of the rings, you'll probably have to get a huge cog/freewheel to keep the same gear ratio though! Those disc-brakes are the bee's knee's too! |

Is it a SS cross frame or just some super tricked out road fix? Either way, I call waste of several thousand dollars.
But it is damn sexy. |

But it is damn sexy. Agreed. Based on the custom carbon wheel selection and clearances, there's no way this could be fitted with large (enough) tires. Über-$$$-snore. I maintain my position that the most boring bike in the world to ride is a single-speed road bike. |

I know I ride my white tires in the dirt.
Ti is cool, but kind of gross for a frame. Drop the cash on a Reynolds 953 stainless frame, with stainless lugs. Paint everything but the seat stays, chain stays, and fork, and polish all that up. Now you've got yourself the lightest, classiest bizzitch imaginable. "BILENKY: MAKE MY MONSTER GROOOOWWWWW!" Where's that kid with the loco yamaguchi and custom mercian? He's got money to burn - I bet we can peer pressure him into building one. |

even if he didn't pay full price, he still spends ridiculous amounts of money on bikes. what about his bilenky? "they say he trashpicked it....from god's dumpster."
