that bike has this "fast as hell" look with the drop stem / track bars, clipless peds, and seat. i like. personally i'd do white deep v's, but that's just because i love white deep v's... what seat is tat anyway?

2007 selle italia slr gel flow. and the bike is pretty "fast as hell"...i'm so pumped! i can't wait to take it up to the track next week!

took you long enough scott. everyone should ask him how many tries it took to get the spoke length right

:p :roflmao:

congrats though on finally finishing it, i can't wait to see it in person.

:beer:

That fluro pink is teh seks.

yeah, i second that.

Compositionally speaking, you need white straps and a silver detail above the rear triangle to pull the whole thing together.

or white sidi shoes and a bag with shiny bianchi pista seat material cover

Maybe a chrome backbrace from riding with that much saddle-bar drop?

haha, close, skateboarding for years does that to your knees.

they are from NYCbikes.com 15$ shipped!
really worth it, though i tilted them a little forward for more comfort.


and its nice to see another white and pink bike, hope mine is that sexy some day!

And to think, you didn't want to take it out for polo...

Get those white Time ATACs for the Panasonic.

If we're gonna be jerks too, get a silver seatpost.

Ok, really though, who gives a ****? That bike is ****ing hot.

Nah...just rock a pair of really thick white laces! and forget the bag, some bling for your grill will do the trick.

Well, I'm not trying to be a jerk. It's obvious that the person who put that bike together spent a lot of money/time on making it look nice, so clearly he gives a ****. It's a pretty bike, but to me the whole thing is a little unbalanced and I'm just making some suggestions on how to pull it together. If you're going to put effort into the aesthetic aspect of a build and then posting it on the internet, you shouldn't be adverse to people talking about how it looks, right?

The white ATACs are a good suggestion - I haven't seen those. If you went with a silver seat post and a black top tube protector, that might work.

aesthetics of a bike build are overrated.
that panasonic is really nice, if it were mine it would have a silver seatpost.

well i was just joking. the fastback seat binder says "hey put quandos on here and i'm still hott"

They only come in white. :cry:

i am sure you were thinking this as you built your jackson....

The black seatpost is temporary. NO bike shop around here had a silver 26.8 post, so i had to settle for black until the silver thompson I ordered comes in.

If your in Boston, where(velodrome) do you ride that? do you go up to Londonderry?

zomg track byks on teh streetzors!

lol.

Oh, I know. I wouldn't exactly say I'm being serious here either... you did see that diagram, right?

yes. although i didnt quite understand why the one went into the air in the back. you coulda stopped it on the binder bolt or something.
i vote every bike company to start making every track bike 27.2 seatpost, 22.2 headset (unless threadless, then inch and 1/8), english threaded everything. 68mm bottom brackets, iso taper bb spindles, 120 space back, 100 space front and most importantly 55cm square on all bikes.

Design nerd.
