Hey a pink milk crate is fine, I was just thinking a black one would fit better.

heres my new bike:

http://static.flickr.com/3212/296606...d0456b38_d.jpg

either coating the entire frame in priority mail labels (got 3 rolls of 1000) or painting it flat black (no matter how cliche it is) this weekend. i cant leave it red, for some reason i dont like red at all.

EDIT: the seat is raised now and the chain is tensioned. i still need to find some cheap pedals with cages, im using the pedals off my bmx.

Diggin it Jake, I just posted up my Tempo conversion a few pages back. Paint is sure taking a beating, but it adds character :thumb: Nice work, what wheelset do you have on it?

I am probably one of Eddie's biggest fans... but unless my bike was a Mercxk I would not adorn it with those decals.

Go for something unique and something that is of yourself.

And the paint job is awesome btw.

that bike resembles Merckx's 1-hr record bike which is hot but putting Merckx decals on a bike that is not a Merckx is kind of a travesty.

exactly, what kind of idiot would do that?

Hold up, cats. Just for a minute, ask yourselves if this is really the worst we've seen in the past couple of years.

putting merckx decals on some random frame is WAY more jackass than an aerospoke on some entry-level frame or no foot retention.

Nope not at all... My seatpost is really crappy so I have to straighten up the saddle once in a while.

Yeah, I just was trying to stir up the pot. I like bare bikes. :)

Thanks for all of the compliments on the color, it is really amazing in person, it is an orange pearl & has a sparkle when viewed closely. Really nice.
