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.

New wheels! 36h Phil SLR 3x laced to Mavic OP Ceramic. I use the IRO in all weather and I wanted to have a brake surface that was better for the rain as well. The surface definately stops you faster and I'm amazed at how much lighter and faster the bike feels now. With the A-spoke I rode a 50/17, but with the 50/16 I have now it feels the same. Crazy how a stiff wheels make it easier

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.

the teesdale wins although it is lookin a tad small
aka mattio
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.

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.

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.

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 maybe if i get to session a few more times.
