lookin' good. I want to know more about the rear wheel/paint.
|
the wheelset is from my 1974 gazelle tour de avenir. its strange, the bike was a road bike, but came with a flip flop hub. kinda strange. and the paint, well, i got bored a long time ago. im going to repaint the wheels rust red primer to somewhat match the saddle.
btw, they are 27" wheels, 27x1 tyres |
Cool. I just ordered a new rim and some spokes to rebuild a really old Shimano high flange hub that looks a lot like those (only mine is chrome). High flange hubs FTW.
|
yes sir. these hubs are actually chrome, if i hit them with paint stripper
|
My motobecane messenger for now-
http://jonduberman.smugmug.com/photo...67_4uzvp-L.jpg I got new pedals for it, and i am looking for a new saddle. Anyone have any recommendations? Btw: I am 5'4, and the bike is a 54cm. |
well, i got a san marco rolls, as you saw on the last page.
|
Yeah, i saw the fantastic reviews of the san marco rolls, but it is a bit out of my price range.
|

|

How do I tell if I have a threadless fork? I guess they are shipping them out with both types of forks. It says (1 inch threaded or threadless NoChoice) And what will the difference be? The lockrings are referring to the bottom bracket lockrings? Who can recommend bullhorns that will fit on this bike? |
dude, i dont think thats a joke. but everyone has to start somewhere!
|
So im thinking about riding to my local shopping center on my messenger. The ride is only 6.2 miles, but i am an amateur rider that is quite out of shape. Should i try it?
|
go for it, just dont rush yourself. you will be there faster than you expect most likely.
|
dont be a *****! haha. i remember when 6 miles was a lot.
|
6 miles is kinda a lot for me. Generally at the gym il do around 12-13 "electronic" miles in half an hour, but that isn't the same as riding a fixed gear bike up and down hills, ect.
|
yeah. im just kidding. i remember last spring when 10 miles seemed impossible
|
Do it! Let us know how it goes.
