home many jenn's though?... grrl

finally getting around to post a pic of one of my bikes...
this frame i've had since 1990. became fixed in 1999. and just finished tranformation into fixed cruiser.

word.

Looks like that truck/suv is headed right for you. Did you get hit moments after the pic was snapped?

Ok, I picked up a new singlespeed bike tonight (the Bridgestone MB-2), so I should post a shot of that. While I'm at it, I'll put up shots of my other two rides. The orange one is my main ride, it's a Fuji Track frame (2002 is my best guess) with the usual mix of acceptable but not crazy parts. I am proud of my rear wheel which is a Pro Max on an Open Pro rim. The blue/lavender one is a 1987 Fuji Tivoli. The saddle's been replaced with an old Concor Supercorsa and the bars are now a set of Deda's. It has a nice set of full coverage fenders for rainy days and the pedals are clips and straps now. 40/16 on the MB-2, 47/16 on the Track, 42/16 on the Tivoli.

Nice Dog!

Thanks, she's pretty awesome.

My fixie project, finally done.

1990 (?) Raleigh Team USA
Old Sugino VP Cranks w/ Rocketring
Nitto Bar and Stem
Mavic MA3s w/ Surly Hubs (first wheelset I've ever built)
and other various Ebay parts..

Had some fun putting this together, taught me a good bit.

hey that's a nice one there, michiganmogo. where should i be looking, to see you riding it?

Around the diag, and occasionaly up to North Campus :)

I'll try and make the Critical Mass ride this upcoming Friday too.

it has been decades since i haunted those areas regularly; mostly i ride along the state street axis to get to work, or out huron river drive until the mercedes count dwindles (which takes a while these days). but i'm liable to go anywhere.

does cm still meet at state and north u.? i'll be out of town this friday but am interested in joining the ride at least once.

Not much but it works. The specs....
Atlas Nucleus s/s
48/18
All Atlas parts, made in India
Weighs a ton

wow, cottered cranks!

New to me: Van Dessel Country Road Bob
Carbon fork and aluminum frame
46T front on an 15yr old 175mm XTR crank
16t rear bmx cog screwed onto a Surly Flip Flop (still waiting for Miche parts for the fixed side)
Mavic CXP33 hoops laced with brass nips and straight 15 gauge champion spokes. Front hub is a Ritchey with a "skraxle"...not sure on that design but the price was right.

Bontrager 27.0 post
110mm Race Face stem
42cm wide bar
avid v brake brake hoods
avid 3 digit v brakes.
kenda mud cross on the back,
michelin mud cross on front.
Sella saddle.

goods: smooth ride, not sure if its the fork or all the bent tubes. Confident riding, solid. haven't raced it yet but it will serve backup bike status in the next few (i'll take the 46 down to a 42 first....)

bads: toe overlap when turning sharp. long cable housing on the bent top tube creates a lot of rear brake drag. i'll probably get rid of the rear brakes when i get my fixe kit though so it'll be a non issue.

Look! Now she's brakeless:

Thanks for the new wallpaper :D. Is that its twin, in the background of the picture?

Wow, looks AWESOME. The drops and keirin grips do wonders for it. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.

But think how lonely the ped collectors are. Alone. In the closet. Being all retalitory in nature.

That aside, the bike looks great.

for all their bickering round here, they seldom travel apart.

Yup, that's 165's sled.

PM me if you want a higher quality image. I had to scale that one down.

PM'd you, and thanks!

Skitbra - looking great! Those drops are beautiful, the grips suit you too.
[165] - I see that spokecard, quitter :D

Here's an updated pic of mine, now brakeless and clipless.
I love the way the bars look, but riding bare-handed today after a rain made for some slippery grip. $5 workingbikes special, stem and bars.

nice... how about some bar tape?
