And yes, digging the BMC. At least in the pic where the bars aren't tilted absurdly down.

Really? Weird. The second pic still looks better (and more comfortable to ride).

This is a ****ing tragedy. Converting a beautiful old road bike like that should be punishable by death. |

That's how I feel about most conversions. There are a lot of great bikes being neutered for some ****ty fixie fad. In the end, you get a bike that's useless on hills, useless for long rides, and more often than not, useless for speed, since the wannabe who converted it thinks it looked cooler without brakes.

But most conversions were living their lives in a dusty garage. At least they're getting ridden now. :)

it's a 3 speed that's as fragile as a fabergé egg, either it broke long ago and it's impossible to get a new one so this guy is making the best of it rather than scrapping the bike, or he's made it rideable without risking the value by keeping the derailleur on http://www.blackbirdsf.org/caminade/...e_01_shift.jpg http://www.blackbirdsf.org/caminade/...e_01_lewis.jpg or perhaps I'm completely wrong and it was fixed or ss to begin with like this one http://www.blackbirdsf.org/caminade/images/664/664.jpg http://www.blackbirdsf.org/caminade/.../664/664_3.jpg |

pretty sure a lot of older track bikes had semi horizontal dropouts.
not to mention whoever owns that bike is a serious collector as i've seen numerous other vintage bikes with their picture taken against that wall, so i really don't blame him for saving some trouble putting a freewheel on it, it's gorgeous but i doubt that gets ridden at all anyway. |

Oh, and you can consider yourself an authority on bikes when you learn how to install pedals the right way. Thanks for bringing my old pics onto pg 12, tho ;) |

I respect your opinion. My opinion is; any bike that makes you stop searching for another, is amazing. When I update the pics with my new pedals, clips & stem, I'll let you know.

I had a gaspipe 10 speed that I rode for a while. It stopped making me look for another bike. Does that mean I can post it here?
