ehh... fixed gears are sweet... this is my first fixed to call my own... purpose built for snow duty commuting 15miles from philly to the burbs... it will be seeing some tire changing over the winter months... but in the mean time i plan to take it mud bogging like a redneck a-hole...
haha sweet

I'm fixing up an old Motobecane much like that for my wife. She wants it in blue though. I'll have to check with her on the basket, as it looks extremely attractive.
Ah....the fun of beign a bike geek

i really want to build a fixed gear old womans cruiser... with a basket and some sweet fenders... the woman that would ride that would be the woman i would want to marry...

and yes... its a dumb idea... and yes.. im dumb haha

Seems like it'd be easier to find the woman and then the bike. At least then you'd have less awkward fitment issues.

It would probably seem a little less creepy too.

"hi there, nice bike."
"thanks. wanna ride it?"
"sure."
"NOW WE MUST BE WED!!!"

its glass slipper mentality...

57cm Pake
 

Here's my first fixed gear bike.

57cm Pake frame.
Brown Deep V's and Velocity track hubs
Nitto B123 cro-mo bars
Nitto ui-53x stem
Drive-train (48/17), head-set and brake are Shimano
saddle and seat post are BBB
Top-tube cover is from a Japanese guy at the CMWC. I bought one from him and he gave me another for my 15 month old son - very nice, shoulda got his name.

It's a miss-match of quality and cheaper parts. Basically, I bought some things and then kinda ran out of money.

Stuff to upgrade in the future, but for now it's all fun.

Thanks to Cheeky Transport http://www.cheekymonkey.com.au/transport%20home.htm
and Lynne at CTA http://www.chainringtransitauthority.com/

From Cheeky Transport, Sydney. They ordered it in for me.

-pete

im an a$$ sorry
-pete

90/90 with a 20cm rake fork? It doesn't get much less slack then that.

Cool. I always liked those flying gates.

my new 2007 fuji track.

it needs work, i'm in the process of swaping out components. i.e. stem, bars, BB, crank. i'll post more pics when it's finished.

Where'd you get the decal?

-nice spinergy front wheel!
I never played with k'nex, always a leggo kinda kid, but awesome nonetheless
