dang that's the largest tire-to-seattube gap i've ever seen. i thought it was a 27" frame that had 26" wheels on it at first look.

I wanted to do that, but after I had stripped the paint it wasn't so pretty. thanks for the advice and comp

I knew I was gonna get some talk with the seat and I will fix that. bolt was kind of loose and settled that way. the bars, I tilted up because I'm still trying to get this whole skidding down and I thought I could cheat a little. I'll fix it too. thanks for the advice

lol +1!

Rims are fine seatpost is fine chain is fine.

Anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to further trick this out. Im kind of at a standstill with it

things you could consider:

+ getting nicer bullhorns that aren't flop & chop (maybe nitto)
+ consider a bar-end lever for those new horns that helps to conceal the brake cable more
+ foot retention via clips and straps
+ seat with a slimmer profile

but it looks good.

Suggestion:

Saw the frame apart and add in metal to fill in the gaps to make the bike span the entire width of the room it is in, so you can hang it purely from tension formed when you wedge it between the walls.

Kidding. :)

I dunno what you are going for, but I know the previous poster suggested Nitto handlebars, they might have something ... I know they sell a lot of gold colored products and that appears to be a theme in your color scheme thus far. :)

EDIT: And yeah, that is an ugly seat.

Yeah the seat is god awful I know (though comfortable), I would be down to get a new seat but i dont really want to break the bank, any suggestions on that front?

And good call on the handlebars- i would like an actual bullhorn

Oh my here it comes...

Not my favorite thing i have seen today

pdx climber: Magic gear?

Mandatory "convert it back."

Considering the amount of laughs I get at some of the rigs in here, I'd say it's only fair. :)

All in good fun :)

I do think it would look awesome all blacked out, like the mad max of SS/Fixie

no they aren't or i wouldn't have posted that.
i don't know why everyone thinks they need to have they ****nig chain tuned to a440.

That's my joke. And there is a bit of slack, there's not enough tension to create undue wear or bind.

Besides that, the seatpost looks good and so do the rims. Not everybody likes the taste of DARTHVADER flavoured bikes.

pdx_climber, i would ride that **** so hard. screw whatever haters may come, i bet that thing flies

what rims would you suggest darth?

I started out with a 1987 Bianchi Brava that I bought from a coworker:

A little while after, I tore it down and added some bar tape, brakes, tubes, tires, and a light.

I'm currently running stock drivetrain components (34/15) and wheels. This bike is used mainly for cruising around but I'm finding that it's a bit too slow on the flats. I'm still looking into wheels/hubs and gearing that will be friendly near my hilly neck of the woods.

Nice looking Brava.
I would suggest trying to get those bars leveled out so you have a comfortable riding position in the drops. You can always move the hoods around to you still get a good feel from them. But seeing as you put different levers on, that could be what you like riding.

use different rims?...:Stare:

srsly. i'd do unspeakable things for those rims.

It fit me so well, I bought two.
