Here is mine after a new paint job. Sorry for the large pic. She gets a new IRO fixed/fixed hub laced to a ma3 tomorrow.

Plan B (see my sig) just got almost 500 bikes from Working Bikes to distribute/sell here in New Orleans. Met a few of the guys on tuesday when I helped unload them. I can't BELIEVE how many bikes fit into that truck. Amazing sight. Lots of Schwinns and Free Spirits, but lots of bikes nonetheless. They might be heavy, but old Schwinn Varsities had the pretiests paint colors EVER.

Come to think of it, I need a beater myself. May have to buy one myself. :) (Sorry for the off topic post.)

I think if you put a shorter stem on the bike you would be able to fly your saddle level.

very nice. I love orange bikes. mmmm

Switched out the 53t chainring with a 42t. 15t fixed cog.
And the bear traps have been switched out for pedals with cages.
But the rest is pretty much the same.

holy shat that's huge.

Are you a giant?

I'm 6'7" and my legs are like telephone poles.

I want to see a picture of that bike next to Turd's...

Whoa.



Seriously, congratulations on finding a bike in your size. That's got to be a lot of work and a good measure of patience besides.

My two friends. The IRO is new, obviously, and the other is a converted KHS. Yes my handlebar tape is masking tape...

That is QUITE the handlebar angle.

what is up with those bars? They look like they are ready to stab you.

i heard some discussion at WBC about this shipment.. good job furthering the gulf coast bike charity movement!

i think i saw you on the kelly drive trail the other day... that is the tallest bike i've ever seen! it looked like you were riding a horse! :D

haha..I have bad wrists, its actually the only way they dont hurt while on longer rides..its strange.

Yeah, I'm out riding the loop pretty often on my trusty steed. Which reminds me, I should probably go out there today.

yeah, i'm pretty much there every day too. i ride it to 30th st. to catch the train to work. if you ever see a pink and black fuji conversion, that'll be me. if i see you again, i'll stop and say what's up.

This is my fixed gear. I've had it about a year and a half.

The lampwork beads hanging from the saddle rails were made by my wife. :love:

How'd the chainline work out for you? Hard to get, or did you just get lucky?

he forgot to tighten the stem clamp.

Here's a Bridgestone 600 I finished building. 52/17 Gear Ratio with 27"x 1 1/8 Continental Tires. Campy Hubs on Mavic G40 Wheels.

EDIT: On the LeMond above

What's that tape? I have the same saddle, and I want to find tape to match. Thanks!

Cinelli cork. However, if you really want to match your saddle, you should check out Brooks Leather Handlebar Tape - http://harriscyclery.net/site/itemdetails.cfm?ID=1877

:eek: $60 for handlebar tape? Ouch!!
