It's a shadow conspiracy chain. They make em in black, white, silver, purple, lime, and red

Neat, thanks
Nice looking bike by the way, the chain looks like licorice.

Thanks benbammens and phoenix!

I'm happy to see that great build with great wheels, Gyeswho.

It looks so right now, though I can't say I'm a fan of coloured chains.

2/3 ain't bad....I'LL TAKE IT!!! Thanks:thumb:

I bought an IRO after seeing your bike. But I couldnt get 32c tires on it in the front! I filed down the bottom of the crown and it just barely made it, but the tire wouldnt clear the brake. I just went with a 28c in the front, and 32c in the rear, works great! I need to get some pics up.

With you saying that I'm guessing the reason why I can do so is because of the Phil's axle nuts being smaller than regular ones so it allows for a little more space to be cleared in the droupouts. glad to inspire you though. I was inspired by my friend Niki (Yoshi) when I saw his IRO had enough space for large tires and I wanted to have a bike for the snow. This is the pic that made me want an IRO

Not bad, just wrap them bars and get a real wall-mounted bike rack before that door closer chews up your rim. At least a rubberized hook.

Also, Oldboy!

maybe you would have enough cash for bartape if you didn't go out and spend $250 for crappy sneakers

I cant tell if they are real but if he got them from BWS then they arent near that much.

the teesdale wins although it is lookin a tad small

that teesdale looks familiar. from sashae? it looks a hair small but i imagine it's hard to find bikes that fit the poster, considering the setup. sometimes you just gotta make do.

dom, that's a great picture of Niki. I loved his bike in that setup. and I love yours lately, too.

amazing colnago aluminum track bar i just put on:

my bike is going to be way cool once i get my kazane cranks.

Are you ****ing kidding me? please tell me you don't ride that on the street.

maybe you are thinking of this http://velospace.org/node/2955

What size be dat?

thank you!
i was about to say that

sorry, i do. i'm in the process of collecting wheels. so if i find pair more suitable for street, i'll swap them out. still changing some components too (saddle, stem, grips) then it'll be ready for track.

This bike reminds me of a 32 highboy roadster or something with the rake and everything. I would love to build a ss/fix..i just dont knowmuch about them. Nice stuff guys

The bike doesn't live there normally, just a place to put it in my cramped room for a photo. Oldboy is fantastic! Park Chan-Wook came to Oxford earlier in the year for the Korean Film festival with his film Cyborg. It was cool to talk to him about the Vengeance series.


Fortunately the sneakers were a gift, so cost me $0. Got bar tape to put on, but am enjoying it without during the nice weather at the moment.

so I shot these today

awezzum!

i am at the point where i can balance front/back enough to swing a leg over if i could balance side/side enough to take a hand off. i've put a leg over onto my hand even, it looks so weak:lol: maybe if i get to session a few more times.
