New Camera = New Pix
Finally got around to getting a new camera. I've posted this before after I initially converted but have made some minor changes in the meantime. I chopped the bars a little more, corked the ends, added the schwinn logo up front, swapped the 16t for a 17t (so I can has more skidzzzzz), swapped for a tektro lever and shortened cable, swapped for new seat, added rear light, and just put a conti gatorskin on the rear today...the cheap stock Kenda finally popped. Played with a few borders too

2) Who really cares about your bike? |

Sweet buy and congrats on the camera. I have that exact frame/fork in a different color purchased for $30 that I'm going to build up into my first fixed. It's awesome to see it built up and I can't wait to finish mine. Thanks for posting that
I care... |

We need to conserve server space for why Solly81 has a stick up his kester. Give me a brake (get it?). I am just tired of sifting through 800 new posts everyday of people either a) asking whether they should convert bike x or buy a kilo, b) looking for some sort of affirmation of their conversion skills, or c) asking if something is a "good deal" I appreciated people being stoked on their bikes, but the redundancy of this forum is beyond belief sometimes. And I know, I know it is THE INTERNET, and it is my choice to come here and sort through the crap, and it is the prerogative of the individual to post whatever s/he chooses, BUT this does not belie the fact that a majority of the threads on here are a useless waste of time/space and ultimately amount to a "who gives a f'uck?" since the 'brown shirts' moved in. |
That's just the ass stick talking.

maybe.

Nice conversion, didn't take long for someone to mention how not having clips or straps is dangerous. I guess people get a ***** around here if they get to say "Foot Retention" in a thread first.
Anyhoo, that's a sweet looking job on that bike. My first fixed gear was a schwinn conversion and it looked somewhat similar. Have fun with it. |

Have fun with it. nice bike. if you so decide to upgrade to metal pedals, there are tons of options too. i think those are cruiser pedals and thats the reason u cant run straps or clips on them. at least you have a handbrake incase you get a little squirrelly. bike looks good! |
Nice bike!
Did you paint it? If so, what method? |
Thanks for the positive comments from the more mature people. I'm used to riding my road bike without clips or straps and once I started riding this I really didnt see the need to have clips either, they seem dangerous to me but oh well. Yes I painted it myself. Removed all the brake brackets and everything I didnt want on the frame first, then used Krylon primer, paint, and gloss. If youre going to rattlecan, stick with krylon
|
not to burn you, but isn't the rainbow reserved for bikes that have won world championships?

I was expecting something about cameras or picture taking in general.
Foot retention. Is still gives me a woody even if I didn't say it first. |
