If we had a bike calendar for fixed gear stuff, this would be the entry for January. Nice touch with the bar tape, especially against the snow. :thumb:

Wow, you guys suck.


English is clearly not his first language.

my guess is a pake.

eh, pretty standard kilo build, not really feeling it

Its a Kilo alright.

Also JayNev.....just razzin you,I like it.

Maybe we have mancrush's on you!

I wasn't trying to insult you. I only commented because I thought that your english had improved at an impossible rate.

It appears that it's not your first language and coming from someone who only speaks one language (myself) I can respect bilinguals.

Ok, ALMOST done, but can't wait to post the pics... Here's my "2nd" fixed project (1st only kind of counts...I bought a converted Schwinn Varsity, haha).

Unknown 56cm frame (looks like SE Lager/Windor Hour/Dawes SST), but it's matte black with Ritchey 1 1/8 threadless headset & unknown stem (120mm): AlexRim 390 on back to Formula fix/free hub with 16T Fixed Surly Cog & unknown 16T freewheel (never flopped it to SS). Front is Mavic Cosmo (need to match wheels). Trans-X bullhorns 44cm, Kalin seatpost with Velo Plush seat, held by salsa liplock. FSA Vero cranks with Pyramid platform/SPDs. Tektro 4.1 lever (black "matching" brake on the way). Blue KMZ Chain.

Headed to LBS this weekend to cut fork & get the spacers on there.

Not sure what I want for wheels. Maybe some black Deep Vs with Orange formula hubs. Waiting on some Orange Origin8 track pedals, blue MKS toeclips & straps.

Currently running 39/16, but have 42 & 44 chainring on way ... don't know what gearing I want/need...once I figure out, will likely get Blue ANO Messenger chainring.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Complaints? It's my first "from scratch" fixed gear project & haven't completed yet. Looking forward to getting a ride in, but it's 18 degrees with a fresh inch of snow today ... ugh.

alright, why do my photos always show as "attached thumbnails" and not full size in thread?

Stock windsor hour powdercoated gloss sky white. Love it or hate it.

Open up a photobucket or imageshack account and upload the pictures there and use the one marked for IMG code.


Looks good, will look better with one tire color for both wheels.

Just finished my current build today. There are still some adjustments I need to make. The seat has been adjusted since the pic. So far I'm in love with it. Quick pic for now, more to follow...

^^^Wow, that looks great! I would have went with the Miche crankset, to match the wheels. The tyre color works well with the bike!

I thought of that too, but I bought the cranks before i decided on wheels. I may swap them in the future. We'll see...

Here is some better pics of my new bike....

its a Waterford built un-branded bike sold at American Cyclery here in San Francisco. Its the same as the Milwaukee Track frame that Ben's Cycle sells.
