Sorry for moving this! I posted it while that super gigantic post in front of me was being done. I thought I ended up in the middle somehow. That blew my mind.
Here's my single speed built up from a 2000 KHS Flite 300. It's nothing special, but I absolutely love it. I have a sugino 75 crank and a nitto technomic deluxe on the way. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5..._/_DSC0002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5..._DSC0003-1.jpg |
How do you tension the chain??

not sure, i think the soft. I'm tempted to give it another shot, I just found that there being no adhesive and not much stretchness made it really hard to wrap on tight. Feels/looks great though yes i was debating over whether to get this or the alien and went with this for the account of the pretty dropouts and the columbus tubing. Oh and I got it a hell lot earlier too than i would've if I'd waited for the Alien |
Good looking KHS. Foot retention would be a nice addition to the 75's. Crank Bros or Speedplay. BTW, I mean that as a friendly suggestion. I like that bike.

I got some photos:
Before http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3146/...2f71ab.jpg?v=0 After - Yeah I know, I seriously need a break. Ive looked everywhere, but I can not find the one that fits. There was bigger wheels on the original one. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3155/...3d49f5.jpg?v=0 Parts: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3116/...887a83.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/...b58215.jpg?v=0 |

^ i bet that if you get some non-insanely-long bullhorns you won't need to have your saddle that far forward.

I love my cxp22's but they are not deserving of a phil hub. |

Some day I'll scrape some real $$$ together and build a few different bikes, each one specialized to the tasks I use it for, but for now, I love having one very versatile bike! |
cant spin with the fork on the grey pista, just by looking at it
