Great theme! can't wait to see more pics. |

i dont think 'homie' is acceptable jargon 'round these parts

maybe,
perhaps, that is why it would be funny... |
Competing for the worst mobile-camera-pic. Just got my baby home from a few days at the bikeshop. I'll probably take real show off pictures with my Pentax 67 later on but until then this will do.
Bridgestone NJS frame Nitto bars and stem Sugino 75 w/ Salsa 47 chainring Red Turbo saddle Formula hubs + Mavic Ma3 rims + Conti GP3000. Pretty basic but it does the job. This one beats my converted ten times over! http://www.propagandaphoto.com/freddie/bridgestone4.jpg |

[edit] yeesh, tough act to follow! anyway...
put my "summer wheelset" on yesterday and finally snapped some pics: http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/2078/green19ov.png http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/1004/green24sl.png i think the frame is an early 90s schwinn traveler, 4130 cr-mo, pretty light actually i just noticed it today for the first time in the sunlight, but the gray paint has green flakes in it. rad. i have a paul/ma3 front, surly/ma3 fix-fix rear, dura ace locking, soma cog, nitto drops, sugino cranks, vittoria tires. currently running 42x14 might as well post a shot of the "beater" too. 52x16 singlespeed freewheel, everything is generic save the syntace bars and specialized saddle, but check out those high flange hubs! http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/3716/beater8kh.png |
That takes me way back. |
hah, it doesnt make noise unless you go really slow, then it clicks and clacks at the top and bottom of the slide. me and my friend were in class and when we came out, mine had the green one, and his had a blue one since his bartape and saddle are blue. awesome!

no. it just looked steeper than 75 (which it is). i never trust a protractor with photos. foreshortening is generally deceptive. |

http://x402.putfile.com/2/5814145672.jpg can i get a close up of the lugs on headtube and fork crown? it looks sweet. oh, also, does your frame have a name engraved on the bottom bracket shell? |
