I get better pictures later.
O yeah, I didn't paint inside, I just brought it in to dry the rest of the way.

Is it sad that through the whole post all I could think was, "I hope he had a respirator on"

Haha, I guess I should have put that at the top. No I painted it outside in a well ventilated area with one of those dust mask. I have done enough automotive painting to know not to play with paint fumes. Plus you my girlfriend would be quite upset if everything in my apartment had a blue Hue to it!

what bars are those?

If I had to guess, I'd say Deda Pistas.

holy crap dude, that looks exactly like 'irideacenturion's bike. like, color and size too. cept his handlebars are white.

One of the two bikes that a friend and i spent ten hours totally overhauling for friends. Took them from 10 speeds down to single speeds, re-greased everything put in new bearings blah blah blah. They are beater bikes but they were my first complete builds. Here is one, the Fuji will be up later.


PS:sorry for the ****ty camera phone

crap. browser crashed.

nice mixtee!

You know, I scored a set of those Sugino VP cranks for my gray, white and silver IRO Angus (previous page), and I'm really liking them. I run my ring on the outside ( think it looks a little cleaner) and just use a shorter BB spindle to get my chainline correct, but that brings in my feet slightly and has made pedalling much more comfortable for me. Best $10 I've spent on bike parts.

And my saddle is nicer, damnit. ;)

The thing is though...i think you (elad) are calling the bike by the wrong model name. Mine is a Dave Scott Ironman Master and I can't imagine they'd have an identical paint scheme for a different model.

It says LeMans RS on the top tube, and I will be putting my Brooks 15 on it tonite. I should have done this a long time ago. I didn't think coming from multi speed bikes to SS would be that much different but it is better by far. This drive train is silent I am running 45/18 on it right now until I see what gearing will work in my area.

it's amazing the difference pulling a lot less chain makes, isn't it?

i like how the mixte says on it, not just "mixte", but "mixtee"

my 06 pista

very clean 06 pista build... very nice

thanks!

I finally completed my first Fixie conversion late last night. Just now requiring a few minor tweaks.

Built up using mostly old spare parts. Shimano 600 cranks, brakes and levers, Kenisis carbon fork, Woodman carbon seat post with a suicide hub conversion.

It's a powdercoated Centurion frame which I first removed the shifter bosses and derailleur fittings including the hanger.

the lovely model is my fiancee :D

also, on friday i pick up my green phil's laced to white velocitys. it's a used wheel set, almost brand new, but i'm gonna chop the hubs out and give the girl the white rims for her white bike and get the phil's built on to some polished silver velocitys. it's gonna look tight.

****in dope! good job on more than one level.
