This one's a little clearer.
That Fanini is one gorgeous ride.

Beautiful bike

T1 Barcode?

very nice ride---the wood rims and skinwall tires look great.

Great name for a bike too.

Close! T1 Ruben.

And that's the thing. I live in Chicago, land of no hills. The largest incline I have is coming out of the basement garage of my apartment building.

But days with a nasty headwind. There have been a few where I can't muster up the strength to get beyond the single digit MPHs. I'm willing to deal with that for the chance to crush on days where the wind is at my tail. :D

Fair enough. Personally, I have to climb over a railroad overpass to get anywhere and my parking garage features a wonderfully bike-friendly steeper-than-hell entrance/exit which, because of the door remote not activating it until you're practically next to it and the door being slower than hell, means you practically have to start climbing from a stand-still.

Also I live right on the lake and the entire city is pretty much uphill as you head north.

So yeah, no monster rings for me...

My first fixed gear.

What hubs do those langster city editions use? They come in nice colors, and have nice flanges.

They list them as Specialized...no markings on the hub bodies anywhere to be seen...

Man I wish you could take all the sticker off the Langster, I took off all I could and it's still a bit over the top.

if this person fixed their bar position they'd have one great looking bike.

The Boston above is pretty clean as far as the Langster themed bikes go...I just bought a "New York" last week. I bought it on sale and thought I could have some fun with the "taxi" theme. I think when I'm done with it it will look pretty cool...to me of course. Not everybody's cup of tea is a bright yellow bike that looks like a taxi :) Always had a thing for Harley bikes with custom yellow/checkered schemes...to each his own :thumb:

Gorgeous

is that a Sugino XD crank? And did that come stock on the bike?

yes, they do. but the chainring is a 130 zen messenger ?44? or something stock.

they sell them on ebay for $54 i think, they seem pretty nice for the price.

nope its an RD

Looks like this XD

it's the rd. notice the xd's different logo placement and lack of a visible 5th bolt on the spider.

Everything on the bike is stock, but the chain ring. 42 zen messenger is the stock size. The hubs are not to great. Im looking for new hubs or wheels and pedals.

God dammit I am such a nub. A word to the wise, if you've never wrapped bars before, get some cheap cloth tape to practice with so you don't end up ruining your fizik antique brown handlebar tape that came with your saddle and that you can't seem to find on its own anywhere.


God dammit...
