The bars are Nitto B123s chopped and flipped. My front end is all steel.
The wheels are Surly 36 hole fixed/fixed hubs laced with Wheelsmith DB 14/16 black spokes to Deep Vs. They're heavy but tough as *****.
My drivetrain is a TA Alize Track crank mated to a Phil BB, an EAI cog, and an Izumi chain.
The pedals are MKS Sylvans and clips with EAI laminated straps and Toshi buttons.
Aside from wanting to either get some MKS RX-1s or maybe try clippless, and wanting a better chain, I'm very happy with my current set up...

Things could be worse. You could live in St. Louis.
At least you have cool chrome lugs and chrome dropouts

Actually one of my cats ia a tuxedo cat, mostly black, with a little white. Cute little bugger.
I have this idea to have a bike that's the opposite of Sophia, all white frame, all silver components. We'll see.

Nice bike ostro, just one question- why did you replace the crank arms?
What was the total $ invested in the project?

Very nice paint work ostro,
what kind of rear hub is that? I have a cheap Quandro and that axel looks like mine...sticking out almost an inch on either side past the lock nuts; ready to snag pant legs, leg flesh, door frames and anything else that I get to close with...

finally done basically an internet built bike. frame, stem, seatpost, saddle, cranks all off ebay. wheels, bb, cog, chain, bartape purchased online. forgive the budget cranks and wheels, i'd love some campy pista spinners but alas...the sugino rd's are actually pretty nice. all in all i'm quite pleased.

Gorgeous bike and very classy. However, IMHO eggbeaters look wrong. Track pedals and steel toe clips complete the picture.

Moving from Santa Cruz to the Derrrty Lou...wow. I was just in SC a few months ago for the first time and I fell in love with that place. I plan on moving there (or the Bay area) soon. F this humidity and cold ass winter's. I'm done with the midwest.

I posted this bike here a while ago but since I have changed things around a bit.
Heres the details:
-1982 Schwinn World Sport frame
-Sugino GLP cranks 42t
-Surly flip flop rear hub, quando front hub, laced to ritchey vantage crossports
-DuraAce 16t track cog
-specialized armadillos 700x25c (going strong since october)
-shimano sealed bb
-Brooks professional saddle (taken off an awesome thrift store bike that cost me $15!)
-generic stem off a Schwinn Sprint, bars from an old Peugeot
-cut up inner tube as bar wrap
I have it set up like this to try out a set up for some fixed gear racing we might start around these parts (Delaware). My normal commuter bars are a pair of el toro bullhorns with red bar tape and red oury grips.
