Or was at least. I've been out of touch since I've been out of the city for the past year.
But yes, its friggin' sweet.

What are those little illustrations on your downtube? They look really interesting.

More pics of the fix, taken at my friend's birthday party. Pic #1 is them telling me "look like you're riding it." (and my drunken impersonation of myself riding it.) Pic #2 is earlier in the evening, how I was forced to lock it up, since the bottom 5 feet of the posts on that street were all too thick to fit my U-Lock around. No respect, I know.

It now has an FSA chainring, Chris King headset, and a more comfortable stem.
I would almost consider selling it... if the right buyer came along. This is definitely not a street bike.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.... Don't be jealous but don't be surprised if I run you over. I'm fully loaded with the hammer down.
Seriously though, that thing is kind of a B to haul six miles through stop-and-go traffic on a 77" wheel. With gears or without the stopping it would be fine, but winding back up to speed got to be some work. I can't wait to get my monster quads.

I feel that the Merckx ST angle is a little slack for that Colnago, but damn that HT may make up for it.

Still, you do feel like a numbnuts badass rolling around with a trailer hooked to a track bike. Man, I can't imagine running no brakes + trailer. Hell, I can't imagine actually having a load in there if I only had the front (another reason not to use my fixes as cargo pullers). I'd be afraid of bending the forks.

Of course, a geared bike with two brakes would make more sense, but feeling like a numbnuts badass is important, especially when it comes to setting an example for the youngster.
