New to the forums as I just got into biking again. Been using it for road cycling mostly but I like the fact you can mess around on fixies too just for fun. I like it as my first entry level bike and I plan to pick up a nicer frame when I am better. Bought it new a month ago but here it is after a month and most likely how it'll stay. I love how it always gets me out to ride now, biking is just fun.

My bike 2 days ago......
$12 worth of spray paint, $10 metal polishing kit and several hours of work later....
for people wanting to polish up their bikes....i didnt use the EZ Off oven cleaner method, i just bought a polishing wheel for my hand drill and some polishing compound. it worked wonderful and had amazing shine to it. i polished my hubs, seatpost, cranks, and stem.
any questions just let me know!

mine is still totally stock, this isn't MY actual bike, but the same f'ing thing. I haven't had time to have an intimate bike photoshoot yet. It's coming though. I want some input on some customizations that I could do to it, first is the seat, maybe some new wheels. not sure what would look decent. i love my little bumble bee

i love the redline.
also love the wannabecapo, very nice work. paint looks great. and the sputnik(sexy), and the t1. the only thing that bothers me about the t1 besides the chain is the clips and straps. that bike is begging for clipless.

It's funny, when I bought it a week ago, I had unbridled lust for it. I was confused at reviews that said that the crankset is ugly. When I look at it now, I see what they mean. Also, that 19T cog looks kind of out of place and gross - it's so big. However, there's no way I can push a bigger gear around town - and I'm not yet prepared to burn out my legs everytime I get on the bike just so I can look at a pretty little rear cog.
