and the white bike is an early 60's sears free spirit ted williams 10spd townie which I turned to a mono in the spirit of my grandfather whose bike it was "I don't know why they had to muck up a good bike with all these gears and such" LB my grandad well enjoy and I in no way have any affiliation with bikes direct I am just a broke college kid in sacramento ca |

Sportymama i think on ebay said she had a limited run of green ones last time I heard she still had 57cm in green the way I figure it is at my size and weight this bike is just right because their is a chance I could break it so I went with a cheapy for my first |
Compared to the fixie pics on this thread, my"beater" ss looks positively busy, but I wanted to post some pictures of the progress. Thank you to everyone who gave advice on making it look "cleaner"! The bullhorns and cross levers really helped.
I met a bike mechanic in Huntington Beach who sold me his Spinergy front wheel (700C w/yellow spokes and carbon hub) for $40.00! The front end of the bike doesn't look quite so beater-ish anymore!And even though I started this with the idea that I would keep costs down, I kinda want a matching rear wheel. http://mysite.verizon.net/joel71/spox.jpg |
what shop in huntington beach? All the shops I've been to there have been a bust...

Wtf beater has carbon hubs.

Actually, it's a purple, but in the flourscent lights it looks red. Sadly, I am seriously thinking about selling it, thus I am dragging my feet on finishing the build. I am not sure if it is worth more to the NJS zealots in pieces, or complete. I didn't do Araya B's, instead I did Mavic CXP 33's, so the purist would ding me for that , but evreything else is NJS ..top to bottom NJS. The pedals are Superbe Pro NJS , though. |
