My exact thoughts. If the pad is gone, you get A+

Glad to see those braze-ons intact. Nice conversion.

that's enough road bars to feed a small army.

How is that BMX saddle? I know that most of them have 8mm rails and are difficult to get in regular road seaposts.

pretty damn uncomfortable. i didn't really have any issue with the 8mm rails. course i'm just using a generic seatpost that's probably not exactly road specific. the seat is just temporary until the one i want gets released in the UK.

Sean, sorry to add to the rash of tube pad questions, but where'd you get that one from?

Awesome! Yeah it's an arrowpace, and has worked out really well for me.
Initially I really didn't like the colours, but it's been 2.5 years now and they have really grown on me. There are some bad chips and stuff from before my days, and some fresh paint would be good for it, but I have grown too attached to how it looks now. I want a new saddle and maybe upgrade some parts and tougher tires, but I love this frame!

Nice Monocog! I was bummed out that they decided to make the Flight Mono 29er blue, but I could definitely warm up to it, and the basic black looks very Killah Beez, too.

the work bike finished on ten9 her name is cinnamon
the only thing missing is the cetma rack

Nickfocus where you at h20? I think I saw you at the mk1 meet.

What a perfect work-bike, especially for the price.

I just got a CETMA from my brother for my birthday and it's ****ing solid. I already carried my girlfriend on it.

That looks like a blast to ride!

so after having it a while, you like it enough to make it a work bike? did you have to switch some stuff out to feel confident on it for a full day?

i'm almost done putting together a mtb work bike, too, it's gonna be rad. mtb work bikes unite!

yeah I changed the bars stem and pedals I also replaced the chain and the freewheel it is set up flipflop with two acs 1/8" maindrive freewheels the rear axle is bent and it makes a little noise but it is fine nothing that will wear out anytime soon the rear locknuts don't stay put so everytime I take the rear wheel off I have to adjust the hub a little but no big (yes I tried blue locktite)

oh yeah don't forget the tires schwalbe big apples balloon tires with a kevlar belt
either get big apples or marathon tires dude they will roll over a nail and not pop they work great

yes i was. on the bike all week as my helios is down for the count with a snapped timing belt.

check this out
 

this was one of my old cross bikes i made it into a singlespeed check it out

looks like its time for a new camera

i've been lusting after a cetma lately....i don't handle enough freight in columbus to be worth it as a work epense....but....i can think of other uses.

Just give people rides on your rack for a few bucks a pop.

what are these bars?

nitto rb-021?
