i actually do plan on getting foot retention...
and i think a white saddle would look better. and i'm changing my stem to a 17degree/90mm instead of the current 6degree/100mm.

Just happened to be lurking in this thread but any interest in selling the Ritchey stem??? PM and let me know.

Boost,
The saddlebag may be on the way out since I added wood fenders. Its off right now for a cleaning. I love my Paselas though, they are on every bike I own.

These are the fenders. No pics of them on the bike yet. The bag was the weak link, might look better once its clean. http://www.woodysfenders.com/store/i...products_id=42

While I don't ride a fixie anymore I figured I'll play since I'm lurking in here. This was my bike for several years before it was sold to another member on here. Needless to say, I miss it.

I really just hate the fork on the Pista. Other than that, looks good, spoke cards notwithstanding.

Yeah i know that no one likes spoke cards, but i like to show the races ive done i guess. But thanks for the good comments, too.

Not much to hate, it looks pretty stock...

It may be the picture, but are your cranks super f ucking long?

Yes, that bike is, should I say was, businezzzz.

But as stated above the ugly stem is as out of place there as it can be. Shame on you.

Ok... Let me have it!!http://www.banjohangout.ws/users/pho...3198102008.jpg

get rid of the red chain...too TARCK for this rig, get cloth bar tape (not red, maybe brown) & the brooks should be honey, not black

then it would be a lot more classy, right now it's great, but those little changes would make it look better IMO

where are your brakes? and is it just me or is that rear wheel hanging on by the skin of its teeth?

Dumb saddle to bars drop, no foot retention, wrong saddle for that kind of bar position, cable stops on the top tube.

I like the chain though!

I got the frame not knowing anything about anything. It's got fender mounts on the fork and bottle holder holes as well! Can you explain why the saddle is wrong for drops? Feels real nice to me. If my saddle needs to sit that high for my size, maybe I need a bigger frame?

I'm waiting for new toe clips. I don't really need to be strapped in though. It's too hard (for me) to skid on a 93" gear.

The bar tape wasn't normally that shoddy... Just in that pic. Same with the chain tension. It's funny how things change, when I was into riding fixies (2000-2007) a Salsa stem was all the rage. I guess no more.

Cheers!
