And is it 57.5 square, or what are the exact measurements?

Finished my latest project, cost me $40 ($20 for most of the bike, $20 for paint/sandpaper/etc.)
Still need a seatpost, and some hardware for the rack. The wheels weigh a ton, old steel rims, cassette doesn't come apart so I can't take out the cogs and replace with spacers. Cassette sounds like it's gonna explode anyway. Also need smaller tires (slicks) that will allow the fenders to fit. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...X/_4276256.jpg Wooden chainguard: http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...X/_4276257.jpg Smoothed out the welds and rattle can paint job, they looked nasty. This WAS an early 90's Magna mountain bike. (ignore the sticker :p ) http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...X/_4276258.jpg |
WTF is that ****ing thing?

you win at bikes

Regarding your headbadge: NEEERRRDDD!
Also, I like the grips and the saddle you used, though the rest of the bike does have a certain "a large portion of my income depends on collecting bottles from trash bins" feel to it. Edit: For future reference, nuts and bolts are generally considered the preferred method of attaching a rack to a bike, but good effort. Let us know how that knotted wire (?!) holds up. |
Keisatu- That chain guard---why? WHY?
|
The chainguard is my favorite part... ;p
Part of the reason for building this bike is to take it to Burning Man next year, so it's gonna get beaten to hell. |
Man, that thing is ****en ugly...but I guess that was your goal, so umm...great job!

I found out the bolts that came with the rack are too small so the wire is temporary, I won't be riding it like that obviously since I don't have a seatpost yet. |
saddle is too nice for the bike but whatever

Where did you get a NOS Superbe group at? I've been looking for one for quite awhile. I've got okay condition cranks, what was a NOS ring, and good condition hubs currently.

nice cheapy bike. im working on my old pacific mountain bike. vertical dropouts ftl

My shop has lots of NOS Suntour Superbe stuff laying around, including three pairs of 165 track cranks and more than a few hubs. If that's any indication, it should be fairly easily to come by.

Nah, dust caps don't ever survive. I've been searching the shop for a Campy pedal dust cap for the past month, to no avail
|
the mks dust caps sorta fit on campy pedals if you cant find a proper one.

The Japanese characters are: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...pt/3RKanji.jpg and mean "Three consecutive Victories" or "Three Straight Wins"; allegedly from a certain feat in Keirin racing that was/ is rather impressive when executed. |
