theres a little issue of the hub rubbing the front fork but i'll fix that later, i took Earl out for his maiden voyage and he did wonderfully.

Goal of this bike: Spend no money...succeeded.

this bike is ****ing awesome!
i love the crazy welds and raw pipes mixed with the pink rim and white tire.
some beautiful contrasts going on there.
how does it ride?

like ****, but the funny looks are worth it, the geometry is pretty tight though

Are those Sefaras barends? How do you like 'em?

my san jose. bone stock for now.

are my eyes deceiving me, that looks like a can of sparks...

I spy Wd-40.

winner, although that would have been awesome if it was sparks

My Milwaukee after adding a front brake, changing the tars to Vittoria Rubino Tech 700x25, changing the bars to Profile Stokers and stripping off almost all the stickers.

oh man, this is awesome.... it's up there with that bunk-bed-framed bike that was posted on FGG a month ago. the small rear seat/chain stays and rear wheel make for an almost cartoonish time trial bike. Good work!

This is my 1995 Serotta, recently converted to fixed gear. For more info on the build, go here:

i once sneezed on a piece of cardboard, let the snot dry and spraypainted it all in silver krylon. the results looked a lot like those headtube welds!!!

i'd be very afraid of "nuts to the stem" on that bike.

Looks good! How well are those non-machined rims (Aeroheads?) holding up to the brake? I thought braking caused the anodizing/powder coating to wear off over time.

Not enough time yet to tell. I assume it will get worn away.

have you bottomed out on that yet? the pedals look dangerously close to the ground.

No. They're 165mm cranks. I'm not very agressive cornering though.

I put a few of these pics in the New paintjob thread. I figured I would post a few in the photos section.
I had my custom Italian track frame painted. Looks plain in regular light. In sunlight, its crazy..

seatpost....

yea. I'm waiting for the Miche Supersype seatpost to get back in stock.

make sure to line up the labels and valves this time! ;)

bike looks awesome!

yea. I went for a lap around the square with someone to see where the cops were. By the time we went back to meet up with everyone they started riding. We did ride right behind the police down broadway with about 20 other people. I had to get back to work. Since I didnt ride the whole mass, I am taking it off.

What?

just givin ya a hard time about the tire labels not lining up with the tube valves

ehh. I'm not that anal. lol
