neato taquito.

That's some cool-ass looking **** there!!!

yeah, what mf just said and -

it's true to it's roots too (no pun intended).

i've seen some real aw inspiring photos of "grass-track" racing taken from the early 1900s (england?)

having bit my local velodrome more than i care to admit - grass-racing would be welcomed; not to mention the fact that it just sounds fun. smoking grass... err, i mean, smoking across grass, no wait... i can't seem to remember what i was about to say... oh well, now where did i leave that bag of chips?

tiger woods... move it, or lose it!

that bike is awesome...I like the riser bars filpped I am thinking about doing a setup like that on a bike I am in the process of rebuilding.

haha ha :D yeah. i'm looking forward to zipping around on trails and such. I think this guy is somewhere around here in western PA... hooligan guy, you on BF?


thanks. I've had these for a while; keep your eye peeled for old trash day 3-speed bikes... especially American ones, as they often have these weird non-North Road steel bars. I think these came from some 1950-ish Sears or (gasp) huffy. There, my secret shame admitted. ;)

would be a great bike for the soma major taylor bars, too.

got muddy with my midges today. this was my first longish ride on them, and i have to say, they live up to all expectations.

i bought a frame from the guy who wrote that article... mine's supposed to be a grass frame. there's been some talk about organizing some races in chicago. sounds uberfun.

and nice Panasonic! rugged yet classy.

AWE YEAH, now that's more like it!

fine looking rig, there, ink1373. i especially like the non aero levers and DT protector (tape and twine, riv style?)

Yep i'm done building the Shimano. Took it out for a spin.. all I can say is its butter.

My '75 Windsor ---- a work in progress

aye, but i wouldn't mention rivendell here, the true fixed gear rebels despise rivendell.

by the looks of it, you my friend are the fixed gear rebel, or just riding the correct set up for your obviously inclement weather conditions...snow looks like alot of fun...

stylish. very nice look.

have a look at this, too.
