Well, here's a pic of my first FG/SS. I am having a blast riding it around town. Luckily, Sacramento is nice and flat where I ride because stopping is still somewhat of an issue until a brake is installed.

The bars came off my youngest son's first bike. They're totally generic and not too bad of a ride.

Watch out, I got a ticket in Sac for not having a brake.
I had a front brake installed, but had a hell of a time getting it adjusted correctly, so I got frustrated and just took it off so I could ride. I'll mess with the brake again some day.

Indeed! I have the MKS 1/2 toe to put back on.

I got the frame and fork off eBay from these guys...I don't see them offering the frame set though.

just seems anxious to ride...riding around casually on flat seems ok since you can just slow yourself by backpedaling but really shouldn't attempt a skid or a big hill bomb

bars are really just monstrously dumb
please get foot retention, even if you're just cruising on flat land. And 1/2 clips dont count.

1/2 clips are nothing. especially if you don't know how to stop. why does function fall so far behind?

Nice!

Just a thought though, you can angle your rear super blinky up a bit so it actually goes into the eyes of motorists...wait a second...maybe it is safer the way you have it. Seizures! Horray!
