Second, the dollar is ****. And believe me, that has a LOT to do with European parts. When I went to order my OPs at the shop I used to work at, I was told I'd be better off trying to find a shop that already had them in stock to avoid inflation (or whatever the correct economic term is).

I finished my conversion today. basically a parts bin bike with no real purpose. When I realized I could put the fork on backwards I did for a test ride but forgot to switch it back before the picture. It rode twitchy as all hell as stayer.

yeah, they are RD's with the 44t messenger chainring and a 17t 1/8" surly cog. The chainline is really nice, and way quiet.

[QUOTE=RaeFixie;6194723][QUOTE=frankstoneline;6194713]yeah, thats the cog, what frame is it going on? I mean, if its a track frame with 120 rear spacing, and you have the matching sugino bottom bracket (103 i think) then you should be fine.

CX mode. need to add the brakes since wearing out the treads isn't ideal in snow

thanks. it'll be the do all bike
they are 700x32 Ritchey Speedmax Cross tires. I got the pair for $25 on ebay. They haver really great traction in the snow (when there is some) and the tread doesn't slow you town too much when you're on clear ground
