And thanks to all for the flowers to my bike, you're very kind!

Yes, K, your bike is one of the neater and more original bikes that I've seen in a long time. Thank you for the inspiration!

Uf... you're going to blush me...
But it's me who has to say thanks, because I was inspired by all your fixie bikes that I've seen in Internet, and just with some Tomac-cruiser-madmax factor to do it by my dream-style. ;)

that fuji is fresh

No fair, you can't change the rules! If we didn't have horse****, what else would we talk about om this forum? ;)

Bikeordie,

The Concept is looking really really nice.

DAMN that painted concept is nice! Looks pro!

Your concept is cool.

I want to do that with tandems. I'm only up to a long weekend's worth of those at this point...

How big is that cassati? Look HUGE! I love the color.

60 c-t. and thanks.

Jixed?

Like cursed?

Like it'd some ghost bike outta Scobby Doo?

Jinkies!

Here's the frame I just got off ebay. Can't determine anything other than the Lugs are Tange and Dropouts are Shimano UPF 10. I love the color scheme.

Dolface, that room is a mess. You gotta get that computer outa there to make more room for bike parts

i know, i know. the monitor's only there until i get that box configured, then the box goes under the desk and the monitor goes away.

So I gave in and bought one of these mass-produced things from ebay.. paid $ 350 shipped NIB... . I assembled it and rode it around the block, and here are my impressions. (mind you, my only reference to the FG world is a a bit over 1 month of riding on a FG converted 1986 schwinn world sport)...

1. The response is very quick.
2. The fit for me is even better than the schwinn, even though the stand-over is identical on both.
3. I can get it up to speed just as fast if not even faster than the schwinn .. even with the much taller gearing.
4. Its noticably lighter....
5. It rolls smoother...
6. I like the drop bars much better than the bullhorns..... Now I have to get a set for the schwinn.
7. the seat is very comfy.
8. the tires hold 110 psi easily... much better than 80 psi on the other bike !
9. I had to loosen the fork shaft nut, it was tooo tight from the factory..
10. The tires are cheep, but I already ordered a set of TUFO Clincher Tubular tires from ebay... they were $ 30 each...

Anyway... I like it alot, and I'm gonna break her in @ the velodrome after work tomorrow.. I hope it doesn't rain !!!!!!

Looks nice! Glad to hear you're gonna take her to the 'drome. And isn't it wonderful to ride on triple digits of PSI?

Congrats Ford. So is this technicaly your third fix since first experiment? You've shure got the fever!

here's a preliminary build of the newest addition to the crew.

tange levin njs headset (anyone got any info on this?)
placeholder bars and stem
165mm njs superbe pro cranks
sugino 75 njs bb
32h superbe pro hubs laced to fir (i think) rims, tufo s22 tubs
superbe pro seatpost (too small, anyone got a 27.2 they wanna trade for a 26.8?)
titanium flite saddle

some of the parts will change, but the basics are there

That seat tube angle is steep!
