Finally got my handlebar situation sorted and borrowed my mom's digi cam to take pics of my new IRO. I'm so in love and it gets a lot of looks...(even though it's not vintage track bling :P)

He dug it out of the attic. He had bought it 20+ years ago because he thought the "high flange hubs looked cool" but he never did anything with it. His only stipulation when he gave it to me was, put a front brake it or he wouldn't let me bring it to Brooklyn. I gladly scrounged around his attic (the Fort Knox of bicycle parts) and came up with a 1940's era black Schwinn brake. Also up there I found some back Mathauser shoes for the brake, the old Super Champion 700C's, the white Hutchinson tires, and the Wrights swallow saddle (the original Brooks was way too soft and cracked). Everything else came original on a 1940's Schwinn Paramont. Ride it daily. |
long live the inch-pitch!

Nice. No clips and straps tho? I dont think I could ride without my feet locked in to my pedals some how. (i ride a frame from the 50's, though no original components... love old bikes)

I love that you ride it every day. That's what bikes are for, be they antiquey old or no. Ride the **** out of it.

transplant, that bike is droolably hottttttt.
ok, in order to get people to stop bugging me, i will post this. Jon K took these photos. I have no build photos yet, since i'm a lazy drunken (sleepy) wandering travelling fool. http://static.flickr.com/45/109335266_816ded16d7.jpg other shots are on my flickr here: http://flickr.com/photos/chimblysweep/ and if you really want to see the build, look carefully at the monstertrack photos... |
how do the S&S couplers work?

It's been taunting me day after day as the weather sucked, and the salt crust grew deeper on my winter beater. Finally the weather was sunny and dry enough that I felt OK about taking the Green Machine for it's first ride.

Nice work Matt, turned out real well.

Nice. Only thing I would change is the breaklever.. I prefer little mtn bike ones close to the stem... Your bike though, ride it how its comfortable for you. How do you like the major taylor bars?
