You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

Here's my rat special that I just finished building.....

Our local council does a kerbside collection every 6 months or so and this beast is a mix of parts picked up off the sidewalk. It's sole design brief is to transport me to the local train station - and to still be there when I come back. Oddly enough, it's actually quite a cruisy ride....

And if it get's stolen (unlikely!), it still only cost me $0

Oh yeah - and someone had attached a bottle cage with self tapping screws. Nice!

The pictures don't really do it justice - it is hideous.

Enjoy

Hillsy, that must be the coolest fugly bike here so far.

Like so bad it's actually good. Way to go!

If those pictures don't do it justice I can only imagine that the real thing would cause grown men to cry.
Quite possibly the first bike I've ever seen that could be classified "unstealable"

Nice job

Everything is stealable in Savannah. Even the the street.

Just finished this up a few days ago, still need to rewrap the bars and trim the brake line a bit

my first fixed was a fuji. man that is a sweet color blue...

Recently, an entire beach in Hungary; huts, rides, park, 6000 cubic feet of sand and all, were stolen and removed from Hungary.

Take that Hungary! no recreation for you!

what is the frame of the brown thing?

my IROGB set up as a TT bike. very light. i'll post a weight when i get a chance.

Nice. Where'd you get that Sheldon Brown sticker?

my brown thing? haha, its an EAI bareknuckle.

I like it bward1028, but ditch the pink chain.

Good call upgrading the fork. The stock one was a beast.

I love it^

pink chain was the only 1/8" i had around. it will be used in the first TT, but then hopefully i'll get something better. it looks ok in person, but not that ok.

sticker came from someone on the forums, should still be a thread somewhere

What gear are you running for the TT?

Just to answer the inevitable question, the handlebars on the IRO GB above are Scott "drop-in" bars, popular with Greg Lemond and others in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

Nice photo quality, but take a photo of the drive side. It's more descriptive.

Oh and I like the build (except for the brake, get yourself a better lever!).

Yeah, and put a puppy under the pedal - that's where it's at.

i'm trying 52/15. TT is less than 5 mi, though, and i know the course.
i have the miche splined cogs, so i may switch out last minute, but probably not. it's~91 inches.
i'll probably go with the front wheel off my road bike for the actual event.

We covered this while you were gone:

Man, you missed SOOOOO much.

that fuji looks super relaxed.

A new brake lever is probably next along with some new pedals. This is my first fixed gear but im loving it so far. Heres a few more pics, picked up the saddle a few days ago so thats why it still looks so fresh and new.
