Look Keo pedals, Campagnolo Record headset, Campagnolo Xenon brakes, Campagnolo Record 17t cog, FSA Pro Track 46t chainring. The patterns on the seatpost and fork were made using electrical tape :)

46/17 on a ss, do you have legs at all? :backpedal::thumb:

The bike looks great though :love:

Thanks a lot! As for the gearing, one word... Seattle.

UPDATE: Relaced the front wheel. Went with a radial cause it just looks good IMO.

I recently put on some Michelin City tires (28c) with reflective sidewalls. The stock Continentals turned out to be vulnerable to punctures but got me through two years with this bike (probably 4k miles). Also switched out the Shimano SPD platform/clipless pedals with some Kona Jack$hit platforms that are working out better. I didn't ride fixed and clipless often enough to justify clipless. They'll go on the MTB now. Normally the lights are removed from the bike unless I'm riding in overcast weather or commuting from work at night. I love riding it fixed but I just don't know how people can ride without brakes. I keep front and rear on at all times. I don't trust other drivers enough when I'm riding 20 mph.

this is nice.

I love this machine! How do you like the Ultremos? Do you have enough (road) miles on them to comment on durability?

Thank for the comments guys.

I have no miles on the tires yet. It is still to cold and snowing on and off here. Bought them through a vendor for a close out price. Ill let you guys know how well they hold up once I start riding them.

just built up my second FG, 1st was a conversion, and this is my 1st time posting on here.
my bike as it sits now, soon to... replace the spokes on rear wheel, get shorter cranks, possibly new pedals, and fresh powder coat keeping it black and white.

the mud and dirt is from its virgin, midnight ride through the forest preserve with no lights w/ my mtb friend.
..and weather still too cold to turn on the hose to wash it.

Hey guys, I'm new here. I've been doing triathlon for 3 years now, but was so intrigued by the fixie wave that came to town, I decided I had to build one. Here's a few pics of what I ended up with. I started with a 1984 Schwinn World Sport Frame and got some Sun Ringle rims off ebay. The rest of the parts I was able to get locally, and I had some help assembling it at the shop where I bought the parts. It's geared 44/17 or 44/18 on the freewheel. I'm going to add a brake in the front tomorrow, but I really want to get another stem with some drop bars attached and take it down to Atlanta and ride in the velodrome!

What do you guys think?

its cute

bigvegan 02-18-09 08:14 PM


What do you guys think?
Awesome. It's good to see other folks embracing the pink motif.

If you're headed to the velodrome, you may want steeper gearing, like a 46/48t front chainring and a 16 or smaller on the cog, but what you've got should be great for around town.

Nice work.

Critique my bike
 
I saw this thread and thought you guys could tear my bike up a bit. I just finished it a few days ago. I haven't actually ridden it yet.
