So hot.

40mph would be like 180rpm's. 210rpm for your buddy, assuming he's running the same ratio.

I'd like to see that video too.

i call bs.

yeah, thats what i am driving at. doesn't seem possible, to put it lightly.

The Specialized Tarmac is a road bike.....

actually it would be 160rpm for me according to the calculator at 84.1 gear inches

It's not like I'm riding to the bar in jeans like that. Like I said it's the top speed I reach at the bottom of the fastest descent. I rock full roadie gear and clipless when I do this ride. I'm kind of surprised this is so shocking to people, because I'm pretty positive there are lots of people on here who are stronger riders than me.

47 downhill on a road bike = very doable.

Conversion...let the roasting commence

Those levers look like they could kill.

They are the original bars that I flipped and snipped

Ha. Ya I got those at a local bike swap for 15 dollars. They are time trial brake levers, hence the "arrowness"

roasting? conversions are mad legit! more legit that a lot of bikes on here anyways.

I like the black, brown and red. Classy looking build, tell us more about it.

i like the miele - one thing, though, why not get bar-end brakes with internal routing?

didn't notice the click for more at first. gorgeous bike.

I was originally going to do this, but me being stupid, I pulled out the old cable housing from the inside of the bars. There is not a fixed route inside the bars for the cables to go through, which in turn makes it very hard to get the cables back through the holes. So now I have to live with it....

Thank you.

Picked it up from a garage sale last spring. Its a Zebrakenko from the late 70's/early 80's maybe? I repainted it. I put Vuelta Pro V's on it a few days ago (wrapped with Michelin Oriums). The bars are chopped and flopped, with amber shellac to match the honey brooks b17. Andel 165mm cranks (46t, 17t cog.) That's pretty much it. I love the bike but it's a tiny bit too small for me ( I think its ~50cm), so I just ordered a 53cm Kilo frame and I plan to transfer all the parts over to that.

How are you tensioning the chain?

single, I hate chain tensioners though, I luckily got it pretty close without using one... That chain has been on there a couple months, I'll keep buying new chains if I have to.
