why the single red spoke on the front and rear?

Why not? I like little details, and since it has red decals, and red wall tyres... Kind of an homage to Mavic's Tour Centenary Kysriums.

aah. i like it, i was just wondering if it was serving a larger purpose.

I like the downward sloping top tube, oh and the red spoke is cool. Looking good. Mine has a slight downard top tube, yet to take any decent photos though

I'm almost 6'4''..its a 59cm bike...Ive got long legs, shorter upper torso, so, it fits me well.....

randy

3Rensho NJS certified frame with all Campy Record, minus headset, which is Dura Ace NJS.

NICE! Whatcha got going on in the back spokes?

Spoke cards from a few local alleycats.

-or-

The wheel is laced 3-cross and radial on the non drive side, so it may look a bit weird.

hell yeah that's hot

I love the way the pimp ass gold chain matches the gold details on the frame. Is the saddle colour coordinated too?

..couple new pics of my panasonic..as I dont think the pics in my prior post are working any longer..

nice ride! but whats with the rail-yard photos?

that's at the port not too far from my house... its kinda nice to ride there on teh weekends b/c there's wide open roads and no traffic... just some rail crossings ...but we were down there riding this weekend, and happened to have the camera

that would kinda suck if the train started moving then

haha...definitely... but there was no one in the locomotive I checked..

Love that bike, especially the wheels. If you ever get bored with them, drop me a PM, ok?

i can't see the pictures.

haha...deal...but they're not all they're cracked up to be... but you cant deny the cool factor

pics should work better now... imagestation only lets you link for so long lately

Hey Marked001........ How did you fix the hub on that Spinergy?? I've got a set of Spinergies I'd like to convert but it's got a Campy 8-sp body.

George

unfortunately, I had to go the loctite method with these... which, I'm sure...alot of people dont agree with..but I've done a few and ridden alot and havent had a problem yet <knock on wood>

my intention was to attempt to use the surly fixxer...but not paying attention to the description in the ebay auction, I didnt realize these had a threaded hub...

Surely if it's threaded you could just use a normal track cog?

How does the chainline shake out? I smell loctite....

Dave

no brake and no lockring... i smell poopy pants [when it all goes wrong]

sparky

Always a front brake. In additoin, a BB lockring and yet more loctite does the trickery.

Dave

its pretty good... a couple small spacers did the trick..

Here is my main bike (only thing that runs right now), used for getting around town, commuting to school/work, chasing rats in alleys. 1989 trek 330 (I figured this out from brochures on the fine website vintage-trek.com) that a friend found behind a dumpster in north carolina while on a road trip. Aparently it was intact as a 12-speed sport bike then which rode fine, but when he brought it home a really weird roommate of his decided he wanted to "tinker" with it, and ****ed up the drivetrain for no reason (looked like he stuck a screwdriver in the rd and bent it along with the hanger). My friend passed it on to me to play with and I painted it (brown rattle-can-I love brown bikes) and completely rebuilt it. Nothing too special, surly/mavic rear wheel, front wheel whatever the hell it came with (I want to change to non-qr axle to simplify locking up) new tektro dual-pivot brake, profile stoker bars, oh and a used selle italia flite saddle. This is basically the nicest bike I've ever owned, mainly because it is light, fast, and everything runs nice and smoothly. I've also learned a tremendous amount about bike repair/construction in the past 6-8 months I've been playing around with it. And I love riding fixed. It wears me out, but the simplicity and connection to the terrain are great qualities.
