thats a lot of twins

that's what she said

1988 Look KG96
Early carbon frame swiped from Ebay. Bontrager track cranks, 3/16 chain, San Marco saddle and polished randonneur aluminum bars to compliment the lugs. A reliable lifeline to work and wetting the whistle.

they need to make chrome polished bar tape.
i agree that the bars accent the lugs, but i fear your hands slipping in the rain.
please wrap them? maybe just for the remainder of winter?
but it looks good!

ps. i think your bars would pop a bit more with some silver cranks

i question the necessity of 3/16 chain, but otherwise i like it. cinelli makes a clear jelly tape that you might look into, or clear champ grips.

Well here she is, almost complete need to put on conversion for the bottom bracket and a new seat will be next purchase.

Back to the drops and brake. Used the room mates 10-22 wide angle. Thing is pretty sick

A beater is used for inclement weather and I haven't had any problems of hand slipping on aluminum bars in the 2 years+ that I have ridden them. Chrome cranks would indeed be nice but the $50 GPX set on Ebay (seller misspelled Bontrager) could not be passed up.

While the weight and thickness of the chain (a beefy 900g) may not flow well with the theory of a relatively light carbon frame and whatnot, I have become used to the sturdy, almost brutish presence and enjoy it from its use from on another bike. Properly cleaned and lubed it is almost silent. The chain was initially bought after having had one snap going up a rather steep climb, a rare fluke which was as ef'ing startling as it probably was entertaining to see for those watching. Saw 2 bikes this morning with the same chain.
It will eventually be replaced by the KMC 710 when the sentimental attachment fades and some silver deep V's when the Gov't gives me back the big bite of cash she took out of my paltry paycheck.

Very interesting frame -- any idea how much your current build weighs?

looks like your seatpost is on backwards.

They do

who cares about bartape? I want to know about your avatar.

it is a body,

and I have have ridden several bikes naked, at this point shame is an after thought.

this bike is awesome. i'm surprised you don't run clipless though.

very well could be, thanks haha

if you do some aerobars there is only one option for that beast. cinelli angels. they look like a spaceship.

i thought so.

dang look at those tight clearances ;)

My new baby that I finished building finally. It's my first fixed gear and I love it. I built it on a tight budget but I'm quite happy with how it came out. I've been having a ton of fun riding it in Boston and back home.
