thanks nola, love the hummer shirt. always wanted to get a sticker for my bike that says "my other bike is a hummer" don't know why.

still, that is a bike with lotsa class.

wunder, nice bike.

How are the ultrasports treating you?

thanks people

i love phil wood as well. In fact my favorite set of wheels ever (phil woods) was stolen a few weeks ago. The Durace are really nice. I had to get them because the rear spacing on my bike is 112mm and the axles are 8mm. Even the front fork is needs a slotted so i got 110mm durace with slotted 8mm axles.

CEYA!
Enjoy your time over the pond.

Blast. Oh well, maybe it's a good thing that I'm not spending any more cash on bikes

wow - nice restoration job! Where did you get it painted?

Yea, that's an awesome paintjob!

If your lookin at "Fixation" I painted it.Lettering also. Just wish I had Fatlace's cutter for the lettering masks.Tryed to capture the very old-school 30s look .Did some adj. on the chain etc and took it for a test ride---yep,needs a small tweeking.The chain ring bolts scrape!But when doing as much mods as this one took--I guess that an't too much to tweek.---sam

Hey, new member here. This is my fixed gear.

Saw that earlier today, solid conversion. Gotta love the bulletproof cranks/dinner plate chain ring.

Your bikes are all so sweet and simple....would love to build one but i beleive im to big for these...maybe a mtb though? hmm

BTW-----I just scored a Cinelli 120mm track stem, Nitto 40cm (yes I know, I need shims) track bar, Suntour Superbe pedals w/clips, and a Phil Wood lock ring. I'm waiting for the Phil Wood sprocket. Once it arrives, I'll remove the brakes and file away the guides. I gotta tell ya, the Michelin slicks atop the 650C deep dish, laced with double butted spokes around the PWs are insane! It handles so ****ing tight - no flexing - with slicks tracking! I can dive so deep into corners (like Moto GP) and acceleration feels more like bursts.

I have to confess, once I go fixed, I'm gonna miss the "deep-Stuka-dives" into corners; not to mention that whole "fang" look with the brake levers.

This is my fixed conversion thus far. I may have lowered the stem a little more down, but it looks pretty much like that. I am waiting to save some money to buy myself a ss/track frame soon.

here is my makino. after excessive ridiculousness in getting parts, it is pretty much done. will probably be switching out the wheels to clinchers at some point. and yes, i know, the yellows don't match 100%. i don't care. it's not all njs. i don't care either. it will be ridden and will get dirty. i'm happy about this.

for those who care:

frame - 58x58 makino keirin track frame
wheels - dura-ace 28h high flange hubs laced to mavic cxp-30 tubular rims
tires - some continental tubulars
cog - dura-ace 1/8" 16T
tensioners - mks
bottom bracket - dura-ace 7610
cranks - dura-ace track 167.5mm (square taper type)
chainring - sugino zen 47T
chain - izumi esh
pedals - mks royal nuevo with mks clips and toshi straps
headset - hatta swan
stem - nitto 58 degree 110mm steel drop
bars - nitto b123
grips - champ
seatpost - dura-ace
saddle - well-loved selle italia turbo

i think that's the pertinent information. feel free to critique. i love this bike.

that wheelset is nice - just passed one up last week b/c the frame was not all that great and the dude wanted to sell it complete. I say ride the tubulars on the street. just carry a spare.

overall, Captain Belated Birthday, it is a nice build.

You weren't riding that last night, were you? I don't remember anything bright yellow, so I'll assume not.

Agreed, nice build. If you don't care about dirt and wear, then ditch the top tube protector.

i live for top tube protectors.

zempf. nope, i just finished it this morning when i got my zen chainring in the mail.

just for reference.. the saddle is no longer at that ridiculous angle. my wrists were killing me when i got in to work today. it was brutal.

more pics of the makino please

Nice!
