I strongly approve ;)

Let me know if you want to meet up for pictures -- I'd be happy to hook you up!

you are looking at some little girls ass, you are sick my friend...

You are goin soft on me, what is up.

Oh trust me, I worked out exemptions to the promise. Tubes, tires, tools are all ok. Another frame/wheelset would be a clear violation.

totally soft.. and you would have appreciated the opinion...i gotta stop offending people that i might meet someday...im not a very good fighter.

The fact that you have deep-v rims on a keirin frame and the blueberry crisp I just made and ate is still in my stomach is a testament to how nice that bike looks.

Yeah, the deep-v rims were not in my original plans. It was an impulse buy at T*. They had them all ready to go, filed them down, respaced and that was it. I went in there to pick up a spokecard and walked out with the set. I have no control.

edit: thanks

I've seen you ride deep-v rims. You were even smiling.

holy ****, that's a compliment

this is my first fixed project.....tell me what you think? ;)

Nice. The frame could be a touch too big for you, judging by how low and forward the saddle is. Or it may not.
P.s.: I believe that first fixed projects should have brakes. If you're certain you'll be okay, ignore this.

Clown wheels work on a clown bike.

+1

that bike very nearly made me change my opinion of deep v rims

stellar

Which would make you a...?

(If the holland's a clown bike, what the hell is the keiki?)

My new singlespeed mountain bike with coaster brake - really more like a glorified, oversized BMX, but I love it. I just took it out to ramble around some railyards in East Somerville, something I couldn't have done on the fixie. It's a Univega MTB frame i got of craigslist for $20, along with assorted other used parts from here and there. Gear ratio is 42-17, which luckily works with the vertical drops without too much chain slack (just in case, I left the front derailer on to keep the chain from getting thrown). The chainline was a pain in the ass - I had to use spacers to move the chainring out and keep it from rubbing the frame, which necessitated dishing the rear wheel a lot to one side. The wheel still isn't exactly centered in the frame, but it's close enough.

Here is a cute picture I took of my girlfriend last night with her new bike.

Notice the new bike smile! She loves it and rode the heck out of it last night. I gotta say that the frame IS a little small for her, but where the seat is right now (up real high) works just fine, and once I pop on a riser stem her hands will be in just the right place. I'm still going to keep my eyes open for a larger frame if one presents itself in a dumpster or for really cheap, but for the time being she's happy with how it fits. She also wanted to pay for it herself so she gave me what I paid minus whatever chris king headsets cost (because I'm pulling that thing and putting it on my bike!). I'm looking forward to some good rides with her!

your bike and caffeinated's bike need to get together and make beautiful bike babies.

sswweeett whip... and that girl sitting on your bike is tiny!

After seeing this bike, I think I need to get a fixie!

hottnesss ... :)
