I can't even imagine how fun that must be! I'd pay way too much for that thing! cheers!

yeah i have now adjusted the bars it was a not too bad angle though but it is better flatter just not so good for my **** neck. yeah i love the green hubs and the green brooks seat, and no i dont plan on using the flop side, and yeah its a old bottom bracket lock ring, same thread and works sweet and cheaper than a brand name. the front spokes are twisted also, glad some one likes her, great bikes on here.

normally i like the fork decals and i would have blocked out the downtube and top tube ones, but i like yours even more.

the saddle is just forward so he can have a more upright riding position. if the fit is off, that doesn't mean the bike won't fit. you'd have to know his body ergonomics and measurements to say the bike doesn't fit him.

Finally put it all back together after painting. The paint really brought out the massive amount of rake on the fork. Which I think looks silly, so it may get a fork with significantly less rake at some point, maybe chrome.
Bars will get repainted if they stay, and I am waiting on some MKS Sylvans with clips. Other than that, It is done. So really, it still needs bars, a fork, and pedals/clips. http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/phot...03142_5541.jpg http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/phot...03144_6179.jpg Frame is a Miyata 100 with braze-ons and derailleur hanger taken off, stripped, and repainted in Metallic Sage with white lug pin stripes done by me. |

nonsense is what makes him say that.
"fistful of seatpost" is a classic fit standard. |

Made some changes today. The cheap plastic pedals and toe clips will have to do until I can make a decision on a clip-in system.

Clipless is sooo nice but I have eggbeaters and entry/exit are bit easier than(spds?) those your rockin. -Powers |
mtb shoes are awesome i'm just not used to it. they're spd m520's. i like them. just the feeling that i can't jump off... not that i could anyway. i just need to ride more. which i will.
|
You'll get used to clipless after two rides. Just unclip one foot before you've stopped moving until you're 100% comfortable with clipping in and out, and you won't have an embarrassing 0mph stoplight crash.
|
this was only my second ride... first with hills... because i'm so busy packing. portland? seatac? dunno yet.
what's up man? i'll facebook it up so we don't hijack things. |

aside from the fisty-post, he definitely needs more drop to his stem, less bartape, and a saddle angle that'll help the slide out to the horns. like this!: http://velospace.org/files/makinosignpi3.jpg |

While it's obvious you have a lot of money to spend seeing as this is your first fixed gear, it does look simple and fun. Enjoy.
