you actually started a thread called 'nothing left to upgrade'?

rduenas

You can upgrade your front rim to one with a properly machined sidewall.

Do you always ask rhetorical questions?

ralphm2k

I asked. That wasn't an option offered by the seller. It stops fine - and the brake will machine it for me.

trelhak

In that case, I suggest you get some brake pads.

If you are finally happy then thats cool. Forget the muppets on here trying to argue for no reason about this or that. I get what you mean. Your bike looks good.

ralphm2k

Dude, you could buy a house with that kind of dough.

ralphm2k

F' me damit.
I suck.
It'll probably stop better. huh?
I knew it.

ralphm2k

Haha.
You know.
Nice rigs.

ralphm2k

Miche Supertype.

I like the Raleighs.

I guess if it were mine - I would not have gone with Wienmanns, I've heard they are pretty low quality (however, they're hella cheap, and if you thrash them in a year, who cares).

LOVE the saddle.

I'd probably take the RALEIGH decals off of the downtube, because I think it looks bad and because stacked type is the devil. I'm surprised Raleigh did that because they usually have tasteful decals.

The idea of flat/risers on a road bike seems weird to me, but I've never tried it either.

Time to ride the heck out of it.

Funnily enough, I was expecting to see something a little more spectacular after reading the thread title. The 'post your ride' thread is that way, holmes. You deserve everything you get in here ;)

ralphm2k

The Wienmanns are tough. I hop curbs, ride rought roads and dirt trails. They get beat on.
The stickers are under the clear coat on the 07's
I need risers to bring my hands up to where I like to have them when I ride (that's what they are for). I'm not hunched over, but I'm not totally upright either. I'm in a good position in traffic and I can get aero with I need to dig in. I didnt want a stem with a positive angle. If I find a fork with a longer steerer, I'll go back to flats.

buzzybelmondo

quite often, actually
my point was, if you dig your ride, cool, there is nothing wrong with it.
but to start a thread on an internet forum,
about your off the shelf fixie, upgraded with some okay parts
describing it as nothing left to upgrade, you are inviting the responses
you are getting.

I think it's admirable that a guy is completely satisfied with his ride., whatever it may be. cool man.

i personally believe that a bike is never done
i used to think my conversion was 100% complete but i am now slowly learning otherwise
great looking bike though

It's a great looking bike. I especially like the saddle (I have the same Brooks Swallow in honey color) and the seat post. The cranks are nice. Enjoy, man!
