Okay... My bike is totally different from what I have been linking to in my sig so I have decided its time for an update. Click the thumbnails for a larger view.

New parts include: FSA cranks and bottom bracket, miche chain (49x17 gearing) eggbeater stainless steel pedals icon stem and mavic bullhorns with sigma computer routed through the steer tube no name carbon seatpost and san marco rolls saddle I took off all the useless stuff such as brakes, top tube protector, bottle cages, computer wires flopping everywhere and most of the stickers (I moved the spicer stickers to look cooler). If I had to describe it with one word now I would say 'kinky' Link to how my bike used to look in my sig |
That Spicer is incredible. It looked great before, but my god what an improvement. I love the Spicer logo placement. Very Clean. Good work.

You bike so totally could beat my bike up on the playground.

He actually cuts down the steerer tube, pounds in a big ass plug then hammers on a threaded steerer tube. He then checks it for true, tig welds it, checks it for true again, then grinds down the welds. The result is a steerer tube that is so overbuilt that its probably stronger than a stock one!

I just really like the way threaded head sets look, plus its easy to adjust the height and you can use all the cool track stems. He only charged me 40 bones to do it, and I already had all the parts, so it was pretty cheap to do. |

Next, the bike is off to powercoat. Pardon the brake, I like to go fast down hills. I eventually want a new wheelset, but gotta wait for that a bit longer.

dayum shiznaz, that rear triangle is slammed!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but if you mean what I think you do, its a combination of my seatstays being extra long and my dropouts being big old chunks of aluminum welded way back. It is pretty gnarly looking though

This is Baby Princess Little Bear. Baby Princess for short.
She is a vivalo keirin frame with deep vs, nitto bars (stem on way), Record cranks and BB, chorus headset. She is waiting for some new hubs as soon as financial aid checks are cut again. I had to recently ditch the gold izumi chain because i changed my cog and it wouldnt fit, waiting to buy a new one, again, once financial aid comes in. Hope you likey... |
Hot girl on girl action!

lovely vivalo, terror. she'll be scores prettier with the jaguar and a shiny new set of phils.
[edit] er, you never actually made mention of the phils i spoke of, did you? my appologies. [/edit] |

Cinelli bars & stem. Unknown steel headset. Selle Italia Ti saddle. Uno seatpost, (silly decal removed and polished). Looking for - Old style Campag 27.0 seatpost Campag headset. Campag crank 165, 48t. Stronglight 93 47x1/8 track ring That's it! http://www.execulink.com/~dtierney/w...3-colnago1.jpg |
First time poster, long time lurker.
First I have a base model IRO with B123's and one of the $10 Selle San Marco saddles off Nashbar. The Raleigh is my commuter that I bought off of Marty at Urban Cyclery here in Des Moines, IA. It has a Surly Rear Hub laced to a Mavic MA3 rim. The front wheel is a Suzue basic lace to what I believe to be an Alex Rim. The forum here is great. Pretty much anything you could hope to find out is just a click away. http://photos10.flickr.com/15973217_5f866580bb.jpg?v=0 http://photos9.flickr.com/15973216_b672f2607b.jpg?v=0 |

Copper plating? Where do I sign up? I want a bike with that finish badly. Like I'll-give-up-aluminum-forever-to-ride-a-bike-with-that-finish badly. |
