as a fellow follis rider i implore you to work out your image hosting issues soon, because i must see your bicycle.

aiyah...thanks...let me try

eh..il figure it out later

if you want, email the pix to rykoala@gmail.com, I'll post them for you.

Hate it? I think it looks pretty sharp. But then again I'm a sucker for black and red, so... :rolleyes:

I'm trying to scrape up enough dough to finish my new ... er, old bike. It's a rescue-case lugged Nishiki in don't-steal-me flat black and junk bin everything else. But then it's also got a shiny red set of Velocity Razor rims, so I suppose it's a study in contrasts. Or something.

Emayex. I think you may have lost a bolt judging from the pick of your chainring.

i think....actually i know i am....they keep falling out...it is getting expensive....i think im gonna try locktite in them when i get a new one....hopefully tom

thanks for pointing it out...i was hoping nobody would notice

Get a stackbolt tool. It's a little tiny three pronged fork that allows you to hold the back stationary so you can tighten them until they won't budge. I'll bet money that's your problem.

Extra bonus: the tool is cheaper than a new set of bolts.

hmmm....i made one out of a fork...i guess recycled utensils just dont cut it

Made some updates to my ride. I feel less like a tomboy, and suddenly very girly - its kinda fun. I am thinking of changing her generic name of "fixie" to my valentine. I got a new wheelse and threw on some new vittorias as a present to her. And then even splurged on a matching mini chrome as a present for me, for days I am not lugging heavy books.

Aint she peeeerrrty? You think it would be overboard to wrap her bars in red tape?

Very nice. I think our Trek fixies would get along well together. And fixed-riding girls never fail to be hot.

And no, red tape would not be overboard at all, I think maybe halfway like a keirin bike with black tape would look very nice. Now I wouldn't mind wrapping your bars in red bar tape and....er....anyway looks very good.

Half bar wrap _would_ be great looking... and maybe a saddle with red accents too.

While you're at it, color your hair red too! :)

SG -
Do the red wrap. A good bike deserves a theme. Gonna go to the stem or just halfway?

love it. i have a follis, too, although i no longer have the orginal fork and headset like you apparently have (got the stronglight 49ds, though, he he). that is one good-looking bicycle there, max.

and where do you put a spokecard??

SG - how about some cinelli bi-colour tape?
