auk: thanks. Just got it ready, and i´m very happy with it. There is a huge clearence for tires, so it´s perfekt for winter.

Nice bikes, mess32. What kind of stem is that on the Cebici?

PGZX3... how are those power grips?

heres the ghetto single speed , ill have pictures of my 2 newest creations which are alot better than this piece of junk. but hey , you do what you can with the parts that you have when you have little to no money , and you need to get from point a to point b

OK here's the new build, just finished today - had been waiting for a seatpost. An interesting change from my old Schwinn, which some of you Chicago guys have seen. Handling that thing was like driving an old Lincoln - I forgot how nice and twitchy this bike is in comparison. Still getting used to it. I included the obligatory "drivetrain" pic even though its nothing special - just thought it looked kind of cool.
42T Sugino, 15T DA, Suzue rear Sunshine front, Kalloy post, Lookin (Selle Royal) saddle, MKS quills Christophe clips (LBS - $8!), the rest is stock Fuji. This is mostly stuff I already had, just needed a saddle and post to complete everything. Removing the old post was quite the adventure - had to compress the post in a vice, then twist the whole frame to get the torque to get it moving - still took a while to get it out!
Riding drops after a couple months on homemade bullhorns is strange to say the least. Might have to get some horns for this one. Future plans: considering going brakeless once I get a rear hub that can handle it, maybe pick up a good 700c wheelset and get out of my 27" rut.

looks great Ryan!

second that. all you need to do is edit that decal on the chainstay and you'll be in like flint.

ah, the welded seatpost. i permanently scarred the post on my white bike (depicted elsewhere) doing the vise-and-torque trick. a matching replacement suntour superbe pro went for 85 bucks on ebay the other day, but that is just too damn much money.

Will you be riding that on Sunday? Nice.

Here's my Sannino. Oria Cromo Frame, Campy record hubs (high front, low rear) on Nisi (front) and Fir (back) rims. Miche track pedals, Miche cranks. Look ergostem, old 3ttt 38cm bars.

Wow Bikkhu, that is simply beautiful. Love the white panels and, and, and.....

Congrats.

yeah, that is swinging T

Sweet bike Bikku - that's not what you were messengering on, right? Doesn't seem like that would be something you'd want to ride every day...

no sir - he is in the rear with the gear. DISPATCH

Uh, yeah, I knew that. That's why I put the messengering in the past tense...

Sweet stem...

yeah, nice ride, bikkhu. is there a method to the non-matching wheels, or is it simply madness?

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I am DISPATCHER, hell yah :)

I now push a 50-16 as not in so much of a hurry. This is my good weather commie fixie. With tubulars :)

actually, the front is a Vittoria 'Junior' road tire, the rear is Scwalbe roadie. My front wheel is 650cc, and the 650 tubes are hard to come by...

Here's my little green fixie. Better photos coming one of these days...

88 Bianchi Strada LX, repainted "safety green"...found it in the trash.
Sugino VP cranks, 44x15 fixed, but currently running 44x16 free-- I scrounged up a 16t freewheel 'cause my 15t fixed cog wasn't jiving, tension-wise. Anyone wanna trade a Dura-Ace 15t cog for a 16t one? Can't afford a new one at the moment.

Also got Suzue Basics w/ DV15s. Crank Bros. Mallets for now. 23c All-condition Armadillos, which I love.

they work suprisingly well, however until they're well broken in they can be a pain to slip into on the fly!

Oh!!

Oh!!!!

I just wet my self!!!

Oh!!

Oh!!!!

I just wet my self!!!

That is sooo beautiful it hurts.

That bike is like "OOh my God". I hope it rides better than it looks.

Bravo !! Wanna sell it ?

Here's my new baby. It's not the greatest picture, but I'm too excited to not scream from the mountain tops. Ok, so that's a little dramatic.

I've been riding him for three days now and boy are my calves burning! :) I have the front brake mounted, but I need to find a lever that can clamp on because I don't want to ruin my tape job. (I forgot to mount the lever beforehand.)

Is my life worth ruining a fabulous tape job? NO! :)

Running at 36x16 for now and liking it. I was afraid I'd be spinning a lot, but I've been taking it easy cause I'm a newbie with no brakes. :)
