i was looking at that seat a few weeks ago. is it comfortable?

talkin bout mine? yeah its great, i took it off my bmx

yep, aeroheads.

yeah, shadow conspiracy, right? i'm finally finishing my build today, i'll probably go pick one up. thanks for the reccommendation.

Its not my bike, so I don't know if I prefer them, but the few times I have taken it out so I can feel tall, they seem fine.

I finally finished building up my bridgestone:

Can you ride in your drops? :eek: Pretty cool bike though. . but dang.

it's pretty extreme, but I can do it.

yeah, sure looks like one jacked seatpost. what size is the conversion and the alan?

60 cm.

Don't look now, but one of Keith Haring's drawings seems to be attacking your bike.

HAHAHA

Okay, I got this Fuji 12-Speed and I stripped nearly everything off it:

I got 2 new wheels (Formula Hubs and Velocity Aero Rims)
2 new tires (Vittoria Zaffiro) - it took me nearly 2 hours to get them both on.
Nitto road bars
MKS Sylvan Track pedals with clips and straps
Sugino XD 165mm Crankset

I'm using the stem and bottom bracket that were stock on this bike.
the stem is a Nitto Young, and I don't know much about it.
the bottom bracket is marked Sugino, and that's all i know about that.
Also, the cranks that were stock on this bike are sugino 170 mm cranks with Fuji's name on them. It has a chainring that cannot be removed, and a smaller one that can be removed. (52T and 42T)

This is the first bike I've somewhat built entirely, and it means more to me than my other bikes ever did.

What do you think?

looks really nice!

good call. one should never be without hot sauce. though i prefer tapatio or sriracha, i concur with the carrying of hot sauce on one's person (or presumably ever-present bicycle) at all times. reminds me, i'm out..oh no!

I rocked it like this once..

but I finally have my first fixed conversion built!

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n.../panasonic.jpg

Lots of standard upgrade-y things, my favorite are the aerohead rims with Iro hubs and the new decals my friend Jon (who owns a sign shop) made me. Oh, and the bell on the other side shifter boss.

I really really like all the blue on that fuji. Those cyclocross (?) tires are hot, too.

I cannot recommend enough to practice towarsd getting fast at tire changes. This will make your life so much easier. Are they really tight to get on the rim? Anyways, technique and being efficient is important.

New project frame. Woohoo! My first beer can bike and my first disc bike all in one. This bike is going to be super fun. I heart craigslist.

I think its safe to say that frame doesnt fit you. Its funny what people will do just to have an NJS frame. :D

Damn it, where do I get me some of those invisible brake cables that keep popping up. Only in US?

Finished up my SS Build, 48Tx18T gearing

They are extremely tight to get on the rim. My thumbs were all purple after getting them both on.
