One of the cleanest conversions I've seen. Very nice.

for some reason i don't really like the way that bomber pro looks. it must be the colors. once i get the bloody chainring, cog, and chain that i have been waiting for (backorder!) forever, i will put up the pictures of my mindblowingly ugly makino. you're all welcome to talk ****.

After seven weeks of healing from this I am back in the saddle on my finally complete, first ever build. For now I am riding the freewheel side of my flip flop hub but am going to make the switch to fixed really soon.

Concetta, the new edition to the stable. Guerciotti time trial in Columbus SLX; lightest bike I've ever owned, even with the tank wheels. Still some loose ends to tie up but I was stoked so I wanted to snap some pics. Specs: Some Miche, some Campy, some 3ttt, pretty much all Italy.

we are, however, having our names engraved in the seat cluster / seatstay joint. looking forward to riding MY bike, ya know?

I saw that on craigslist yesterday and didnt know if he was selling the full bike for 250.00 or 500.00
I also saw in his post it had a "Salco" track wheel. Im sure from the pic it was a typo and its a "Jalco" wheel. If thats the case. Put that front brake on. Those wheels are not very strong and you strip that hub in a matter of months/weeks..
other then that. Nice bike

Due to limited experience, (and not familiar with the logo) I'm not sure whether it's an "S" or "J" -most likely a "J" - I've included a photo...as you can see, I already started installing the brake.
