pretty good build all around obsidian

Thanks! I appreciate it! It's my first custom build, but definitely not my first bike ;)

Oh believe me they were unexpected for me too! But I couldn't say no to that deal! ($60 off a friend) And I've always been a fan of Dark Green and Brown as a combo (Always wanted a car in that combo!)

Started as a stock Fuji Track...no pic from when it was new, but here it is with everything replaced except the frame and wheels. I don't know what hubs are in these wheels, but they are keepers, so I'm gonna rebuild the wheels with silver rims (aerohead, fusion or cxp33), then I think I'll be done with this one.

those pics make me want a cetma rack. too bad i'm broke.

delegado zero 01-19-09 12:38 PM

That black and brown IRO is probably my favorite looking bike on SSFG, though it would look more proportional with a bigger frame. Is that cloth tape in the first picture?

Mine?! Thanks man. You're right about the frame size, although I can ride for hours and with no discomfort down-under, so I'm in no hurry to replace it. The tape in the first pic was a discontinued Fizik tape. Sadly, I completely mangled it, as that was my first attempt at bar wrapping. I tried cloth in between the brown and black Fizik tape, but it was un-schellaced, and I found it released WAY too much glue when things got sweaty. Made my hands feel gross.

Jabba Degrassi 01-19-09 01:00 PM
