Great idea....

2nd that.

(minus tires at the time

marked001........nice ride.... Tell me, how did you fix the rear spinergy hub? I have a set of old spinergies with a Campy 8-spd freehub body. I'l like to somehow convert it to take a track cog if possible at all.

George

thanks

my original intent was to use a Surly fixxer...but after not reading the ebay auction thoroughly..I received them and realized it wasnt a shimano cassette...so I had to be ghetto about it and thread a track cog on with some spacers and ample amount of blue loctite...frowned upon by alot of people...but I've ridden a couple different sets of wheels like this and haven had a problem... (yet)...so...

My new De Bernardi track bike. Sugino cranks (stiff!), Campy front hub, Nitto bars... (other parts are cheapo...) Still looking for an upgrade to the Suzue rear wheel.

I'm planning on taping the bars, or at least putting on some rubber grips--it's getting cold!

Anybody want to buy my old road fixed conversion (frame, fork, HS, BB, cranks, seatpost)?

damn those are hot

MINE
First is Candy-O, a 56cm old C-dale frame, that I've fixed. I run a 53/17(84.9). The drops are vertical, so there isn't much room for play in the chain, and this bike you are stuck in one speed, there's no flipping the hub here.
Seconed is an old steel Schwinn, that is just a sweet ride, not fast but just nice. I did a century on her last winter.

I'm not sure if I like the color, after putting this all together... Maybe it just needs a couple of simple racing stripes or something... Oh well, I can always repaint it.

George

Is that the Pista? I think it looks great. I would get a different stem though (90 degree stems bug me)..

-Jason

Thanks Jason......yeah, that's the pista frame I've been working on. I agree with you on the stem. Problem is, I bought that Profile stoker bar and darn thing is 26mm bar end to bar end. There's no buldging in the middle. I was unable to use any of my nicer traditional road stems because the bar simply would not make it thru the stem around the sharp bends. The only thing I had on hand was that Salsa stem w/open faceplate.

George

George, how many fixed bikes do you have.
I'm counting Cinelli, Steamroller, Pista, Scorcher.

I need a few more...

I do!!!!!!

ok.....replaced that 90 degree stem with a Nitto track stem & an inverted semi-moustache bar. Hope this setup works..... comfort-wise...

Mr. ShripmX......I recently sold my Scorcher...

are you interested in selling the salsa stem that you had on it?

Are you interested in selling the handbars you had on it?

legalize_it & William Karsten... I'm sorry, I'm gonna hang on to those components for future projects. I know I'll be using them for something. Thanks..

George

It's cool, no sweat... Just being the vulture I am. You know how that goes..

I finally got a camera.

Okay, now the image. Sorry.

auk..

Hey, I like that inverted moustache bar.... It's surprising how well that setup works. I just wish that those bars were narrower.

Thanks, got the idea from the pic of your Pista. Pretty comfy. Know what you mean about the width. At the ends these measure about 53cm center to center. Since these are steel, I'll probably stick an ratchet extension inside the ends and give them a little tweak. Or as the Nascar boys are fond of saying, "Aw, he narrowed it up that corner"

I'm going to feel like I'm riding a midget bar when I go back to my 46cm 3T's on the road bike.

Dave

Auk, is that a quick release rear you have there? How's that working for you?

BTW, I dig those tires.. do they come in anything but lime green?

So what you have is a three speed - sitting, standing, and walking...
