Can anyone find a picture of a teal frame with yellow rims? Not exactly sure how I'd go about it. Figured I'd ask here.

sexy..

Why don't you just use friction tape? Hockey tape? It works great.

Here are some new pics of my hooptie thats for sale

I picked up a couple rolls of black cotton tape for next to nothing, I'm gonna do it up sometime this week. The bad news is, the fizik antique brown bar tape is discontinued. In that regard, I'm pooched.

The plan, as it stands, is to, first of all replace my too-tall stem, then just pick up some natural-coloured cork tape, twine finished, wine-cork bar plugs, and shellac the whole shebang to try to colour-match it as best as possible.

Also, here is a quick pic of the bike. I left for work right after I snapped these, so I had to nab this from my GF's facebook.

Please note that I KNOW the stem is obscene. It was tall or nothing, and I'd rather ride this than ride nothing. I'll be replacing the stem with something shorter and fully wrapping the bars ASAP.

Other than that, I love it!

cant you cut the stem shorter? i saw a how-to somewhere on the forum.

if the fit for you is perfect, why change the stem? who cares about looks, it's riding that matters

Well, it's comfortable enough, but I never said it was perfect. This is my first bike rocking drops though, so I'm not 100% on how it should feel in the first place.

Sounds good.

As soon as my dad uploads the pictures I will post my new SS. It will be a fixie as soon as I am brave enough.

My club had 10 of us show up for a few hours of fun in the woods tonight with one gear. Good times :)

too bad no one in this forum would actually heed your good advice.

I know this probably not directed at me specifically, but when I said it was tall or nothing, I mean the last thing I needed in order to ride my bike was a stem, and I couldn't find anything shorter from any of my local shops. $20 shipping is a ***** when all you need is a stem, and I wanted desperately to ride this thing.

No need for that to be honest, just make it fixed and ride it. My first time i had a few close calls when i relaxed my legs, but a week and half after it's all good. Don't waste your time with a single speed if you want to ride fixed.

Here tis for now

Hello (1st post),

This is my Schwinn World Tourist converted to a Run-DMC fixed bike, maybe you've seen it on other sites. It's fun to ride. I have changed to 38cm Sakae drop bars since this pic.

Thanks,
Owl

owlboogie are you on BAIC i-club? I used to post there a lot and I thought the name sounded familiar.

Yeah, that's me. Still got my OBS and it's dirty as heck... If you went by daybreak on there, I remember. Funny I was just reading your review of the bikesdirect.com bikes. And I'm an AAU/AAC (when I was there) alum. The world is small.

Wake Racing.....
 

Niner............Team Bikes.....Well one of them!

What do you?

Beautiful

current state. the poorer i get the better those touros become.

i like the looks of this /\

Wow that eddy merckx is fabulous. I like the openpro CDs, too. They are in my next wheelset. That bike simply explains why its better sometimes to just spend the extra money for a real vintage track bike.

thanks guys. It's a great ride. Clearances aren't too tight and it's comfortable on long rides. A much needed break from the steep angles of the Casati.
