holy sh*t. that bike is now...un-ridable. after all that work how can you not be terrified of scratching it?

so this is my bike from the senior project thing.... my first fixie ever!....
its not that great but its good (i think) :D.... at least im happy with it
what do u guys think?

since i usually ride my ghetto heavy road bike i feel really light on this sparton frame =D

one more thing, i will change the saddle soon, this is from my old bike lol,,,, and the seatpost is really high because i was hanging it on the bike stand

looks clean! I dig it, though thats a bit much seat to bar drop for my tastes

rae just said the reason for the high seatpost . looks great man! i'm not crazy about the cranks, but i love the silver frame w/ silver wheels.

EDIT: and please change that seat as fast as possible!!

goddamn, rae. i had my doubts, but that is a nice bike. the anodized rds are a nice touch.

Wait...was "sparton frame" and "light" just used in the same sentence?

Looks good though. Wheels = formulas + DP18's?

haha this is light for me, because my road bike is waaaaaay heaaavier!, idk if i ride a bianchi pista concept probably ill change my mind haha...

and yes it is formula and dp18


and thank you for nice comment people! i will post more picture once i polish it up again :o and change the sit, i hope it will make much different...

here is something that i like about my bike,, =D idk why but i like how i shank 5cent on my pedal:D
(sorry for bad picture)

my only complaint is the white chain. i'm not sure why, but i think i want the bike to be monochrome except for the chainring. maybe the white seat will pull it together, though.

thought id better post my new bamboo fixie. home-made fixed hub until i can get a legit track hub from the USA or Canada sent down here. the parts are all cheap stuff found in southern mexican bike shops. the frame was made by me using 2 kinds of bamboo. it is like riding a cloud over bumps, yet plenty stiff. i am very happy and will soon be making another, cleaner looking bike.http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/4967/dscf5987fb0.jpg

Whoa. What did you use for the joints, resin and some kind of fiber? Looks really good btw.

henequen (or sisal) fiber from a large agave plant + polyurethane resin used in auto body mods
not a technique i invented by btw, see calfee design

im glad u didnt get a bamboo fork too...

that
is
so
****ing
cool

I agree completely. Surprisingly nice build but a silver chain is a must, also I hope the new saddle is still black.

Borat and I approve of this bike.

You're f u ck ing kidding me. And here I am, kinda proud of having put together my bikes like lego pieces.

Wow, that bamboo bike is something special.

rae, get rid of that white chain and get a silver one. later when you have money, get a white saddle too. But that bike is really nice, though. good job.

Rae, did that frame give you any problems during the build?

yes it did gave me problem, i needed to file the drop out because of the sucky ass paint job and shim the seat tube, i bought it when it was still cheap tho... im personally happy with it because its not as heavy as i thought it would be.. but i would not recommend this frame for people who want to have some real deal... especially the price is ridiculous now for its price...:D my mentor was like, "so r u going to give a bad review about this frame?" i was like "yes!" hah..

next time i get a frame i'd rather save up some money and get a concept (idk why i like this frame so much)... well you get what you pay for....

well you did a great job on your first build.

i wish i would have something this cool for my senior project. i just talked about the arms depot in Umatilla. LAME!

aside from the fact that the chain and crank clash with the rest of the build, i like it. however it's pretty obvious that your bike is a few cm too small for you, and you'd have a hell of at time running anything other then risers with a stem like that. next build you might want to up your bike size about 3-4cm.

Andre he put a disclaimer saying that it was extended for the bike clamp at the LBS.

edit: well i guess in the other pics the saddle is pretty high. my bad

It's not very obvious, but 'luceo non uro' runs down the fork blades - he's pretty well thought of everything.

do you get that from my seatpost? because if so ... my seatpost was high like that because i was hanging it on a bike stand when i cut my handlebar... idk if i am clear enough or not:o
