lol You guys see "emo" I just see a guy chillin.

First pic is what my bike looked like originally,not my bike though,just a pic i found on yahoo.The second pic is my finally finished ride.

I started out with a Specialized Sirrus road frame i found on top of a trash heap.At first i built it up with parts i had laying around the garage.then i decided to remove all braze ons and der. hanger,then i had to paint it,so i decided on Kawasaki green with pearl clearcoat.I upgraded slowly to a carbon fork i got from Chucksbikes.com for 35 bucks,Formula flip/flop with Mavic CXP wheelset from Bicyclewheels.com,and a bunch of other parts scrounged on Ebay. I really like this one a lot,so much so that i havent ridden my 29er since this was rideable.

sorry for the crappy pic,i lost my camera and had to use a buddys(wich sucks)

Here is my specialized. Still need to get some 1.5" slicks on there because my girlfriend rides it more than I do (around town). It's a little ghetto but it's built to pwn, and pwn it does.

How do you like your chain tensioner? I have the same one on my 29er but it makes a lot of noise and i dont know if thats normal.

To be honest it's kindof a POS, but it gets the job done.

Still, I'd rather have the tensioner than have to f*ck around with trying to get the right chain tension on a frame with vertical dropouts. I know there are formulas to determine how, but I tried that on this and the chain was just loose enough that it would come off when I was really beating on the bike.

Schwinn Madison, for Less than $350 brand new at a local LBS. This is my commuter and coffee bike.

I like that this name is a porn name, and, apparently, of a little hippie town in Wisconsin.

Cheers.

And here is a bike I take to the Velodrome to embarrass myself, a Raleigh Rush Hour. Even though it spends a lot of its time at the track, I put a front brake on to train on the local streets, so that I can get more training specificity by being in the drop.

This is how it's done, kids.

Hey Im deciding on new pedals...any opinions..
no clips just straight pedals.
thanks

just curious, who makes the coloured chains, and are they actually strong and good quality?

my daily commuter on my morning ride into work - now with a taller salsa fork and other bits. room for 32c tires with the new fork.

more tape, clips, bigger cog, and new picture.

i am too poor but eventually i will get a seatpost, crankset, and clipless.

Thank you! It is a very comfortable bike, both on the track and on the street. And everywhere it goes it receives compliments.

I like the Lemond. Campy crank?

Oh thanks. Campy Record.

Here is my Rocky Mountain Boroughs. Figured i would take some pics and post them up here since its just teasing me and my broken ankle all day.

What Kind of pedals are those?

crank bros candy sl

those light trails just make the bike look faster!

PS- Scat. *snicker*

Love my Scattante and that one looks fun as well.

thanks... yeah there were cops talking to some guy in the apartment down the way, and as they left i guess they decided they didn't like the look of me and asked "what are you doing?" so i said "taking pictures of my bike" and he said "what for?" and i said "for pictures" and realized i didn't really have a good answer other than i like to take pictures and i like my bike.

After a month of indecision as to whether i should buy a fixed gear bike or not, i decided i should. Got the 08 Fuji Track, and i really like it. Never had a fixed before but i am very happy with the bike. It's compltely stock except a 19t cog instead of 15t, and a front brake.
