http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...mike/pepto.jpg I think you bought that from my LBS! Nice bike. |
what size is it? custom pista or a super vigorelli? measurements and angles by any chance? |

I finally got the OLMO...
this is a rushed paintjob, once I can have it sandblasted I'll do a much nicer job... |

The front half of your bike is tight.

Jacob: Hells yea. Nice bike dude. If I ever come to Texas, we can ride in style. On the note of Concepts with white saddles, I got a new one: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4...ture005uu2.jpg It is like night and day in comfort compared to my other saddle. This thing rocks... mostly because it was free. |

Here's mine!
http://www.geocities.com/rpc180/FG_log/8x6_FG_Log17.jpg An ENO converted 2002 Cannondale R3000si. My first bike build. My first wheel lacing. The DC Pirates helped a whole lot, especially to poopncow for many nights at his place wrenching and some borrowed parts while things trickled in via UPS. A slew of online LBS's: E-bay, TheBikeBiz, Universal Cycles, Bikeman Network, Niagara Bike Works, and even Performance bikes for parts. And City Bikes who helped me find random **** all the time that I didn't have. |

health insurance might be something you want to look into sbc
|
Looks to be a Surly cog back there, so fixed. And I'm gonna guess Vredestein Fortezza Tricomps on the tires. They're multinational AND the jam.
|
I rode BMX brakeless for a few months. its not that hard to apply the same stuff to a bigger bike...
I have health insurance :D I hope I never have to use it for riding. as for the seat, ugly? kinda... but really comfy. and durable. |
Brakeless freewheel isn't cute or charming, it's just
****ing stupid. |
