the spider? I think sniks can chime in here, it's his saddle, I only rode on it for a couple of miles to dinner and back and I found suprisingly comfy for that short period of time, although sniks is the real witness here, riding on it a ton, and stating that it shouldn't be ridden without cycling shorts. It looks cooler than hell, that's for sure. I ride an arione.

i think it's serious.
but then again i also think it's ****ing awesome, so discount my comments for hipster as much as you like. i bet whoever rides it has a ****ing hell of a fun time.

i think it's a few minor changes away from being awesome. i could never ride a saddle angled like that, and i hate the feel of plastic toe clips, but my other complaints about it are purely aesthetic.

getting closer, got my bars taped up today got my cranks on, and got a few other small things done.
my wheels will be done and my tires will be in on wenesday. I can't wait.
running a 70x 107 bb and a 40 tooth ring. i can't go any larger any front. on the inside of the spider there is about 4-5 mm of frame clearance. I am curious to see what my chain line is going to be once my wheels are built, and I am hoping i can use the outer lip of my cranks.

new top tube pad was slipping because my knees rub it when i ride
lets see bike is a 53cm italian tt steel frame with an aluminum fork
650c rims from and back 40x13 gearing about 70 some odd gear inches
bargain bin bontrager seat and stem, nashbar bull horns
spent more on spokes than i did on both hubs combined
I need a longer stem and it will be spot on

yes thats why it kills me to see all those dead aero spokes on bike being used for barspins, when i cant even find one for the rear.

I'd rather see an aerospoke being used for barspins than in the rear... so tacky. imo.

Looks like a Kashimax Aero, the BMX version. The stars aren't the Illustrator created ones on the tri-spoke so it's possible it actually came like that (likely inspired the latter).

Heres my SS, its just a newer Schwinn frame with a flip flop, it ended up being a sweet ride! I added some Campy bar end caps too, I really am surprised that it rides so well!

or learn how to ride a bike correctly and not put your weight so far over your front wheel
or do a search for the endless bickering already said about running 2 brakes on SS

Uh, its a SS and I prefer a rear brake on my SS, as you can see in the pics Im in the middle of adding a rear brake, not because of someones silly arguement of wether one should or should not, Im adding a rear brake because I prefer a rear brake I dont give a flying **** what anyone else thinks my bike should be built like 
wearyourtruth, If your comment was aimed at me I do know how to ride a bike, yes even a fixie, been doing it for a long while, but now that Im a bit older and my knees arent what they used to be I prefer a SS to a fixie is all 
people do have that choice If your comment wasnt aimed at me just scratch the above
