You finally got it posted, good work.

But it's so small... :(

Wow that felt is nice; how much does that thing weigh? Stiff?

Lock the thread. Game over.

It weighs about 16 lbs. Stiff? Presumably, but I'm not really experienced enough to say .. it is definitely "communicative", you can feel every grain of sand on the road.

Yeah I mean, good thing we don't have like you know velodromes and **** where brakes aren't needed.

reflectors on the velodrome yeah **** yeah

touche

Right, since rtack bieks are ridden on velodromes only. How did I forget that?

Eddy the night after mayhem heh,heh

This is a Schwinn Continental from October of 72'. The frame was in the back of the frame pile at the bikeproject. The next stop for it would of been the scrap pile. Alot of the paint on the TT is scraped off, but the frame is perfectly straight with no dents. I got the frame for free, and building it up fixed wheel with parts I have lying around.
:EDIT: Finished pic.

the yellow//black combo looks real nice but the dropouts on the dawes are real ugly

Gorgeous bike. What frame is that? Did you powder coat it or did it come that way?

pista concept. Prolly just debaged.

It is a Pista Concept. When I bought it from Ebay, it was powdercoated white. Year is 2005.

Edit: Oh...and thank you :).

cool entry level bro . in Australia i think those bikes are called allegro . the dropouts are without a doubt the ugliest things ive ever seen though . (sorry you asked )

what size is that chainring?

i like those dawes bikes. a friend of mine just bought a gray dawes, debadged it, got rid of the ugly road brakes and chopped the bars. he's got a pretty nice whip now.

O.K finaly got round to taking soem pictures when I was gving her a clean and fitting a mudgard. I only have a rear mudgard as the frount one was snapped when I picked up the doner bike and I am too broke to buy a new set. Not the most beautiful bike in the world but works well for me and has a couple of Brick hacks on her. Running 52 x 18 big, big:). Rear wheel built around an onone hub with an open sport rim.

It has a home made chain tug on it. No photo of the compleated acticle but here is one post drilling and tapping pre welding and painting.

Hack number two come from the fact that I ride clippless on my road bike but can't always be bothered to change the pedels over so I bought a pair of toe clips off of ebay. They had no size but I thought must be med but turned out to be a small. Hence a Brick hack. Legths of copper water pipe. Better than a stack of washers but still not perfect. I have since bought a another set of clipless but am waiting till the January sales to buy some shoes cheap with any luck.
