Random Bike: De Rosa San Remo (1997)
 

I surfed on velospace site, visit the random's bicycle: De Rosa San Remo Fixed Gear Conversion. His bike is super-beautiful, and well-built!

FYI: Bike in Pictures isn't mine, its from velospace via random owner .. ;)

Ooops I was thought its your actual bike or your wife's bicycle.. I am wrong.. someway by tricky.. Anyway its very sharp and awesome customize! ;)

Pretty much.

Cannondale is a 57
Motobecane is a 58
Garneau is a... 56 or 57? I totally forgot. I know the seat tube is a 57.

They all fit, except the Motobecane feels a lot shorter (toptube,) compared to the Cannondale. Which is kinda odd, I think.

Right here :twitchy:

My newly converted MTB. SS, 38/18 for around 55 gear inches

LOVE that bike!

hey man does your front brake ruin the look of your blinged out bright silver deep v?
im about to have the same wheelset as you and a front brake as well so i was just wondering.
BTW the maddy looks clean

Believe it or not, both those rims are machined. So, no it doesn't ruin the surface. Its really hard to tell the difference between high polished aluminum and a machined sidewall.

For the nay-sayers who want to know where the dirt is...

The Alien mainly sees city riding/commuting/alleycats/traffic now that I have some gears and brakes to do long stuff on. The CX bike sees mud, long miles, extended climbs, 45mph descents and lots of suffering.

AYHSMB

i always liked those giant omniums..

That alien is so clean, my god.

Bike looks sharp with those wheels dude!

how do you guys ride with a 8" saddle to bar drop like that?

it's nowhere near that bad. follow the horizontal, not the frame. it's about 4 inches. i have long arms.
also, nothing in this house is at right angles to anything else

This is so lovely. Is it a Mark V? How much clearance do you have and how wide are those cross tires?

+1 !! :)

Too ashamed to put up a pic of it with that janky thing you call a fender :) in all honesty first time I saw that I thought hmmm a good solution and I'll draft him anyday :) too bad I only get drafts in the basement of the Science library these days tho

thanks! Yup it's a Mark V. Tires are 32mm Ritchey Speedmax Cross. It's a close fit, but I have the axle at the ends of the dropout to make it work. Regular track axles won't work without filing off the fork tabs or putting washers in the axle to be flush with the fork tab. 28's would probably work fine though without the need to move the axle down if you don't feel like doing the able
