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

before and after

first build was with whatever parts I had laying around

Woah, a group buy! Haven't seen one of them in a long time.

totally! i think the brown deep-v's are kind of unexpected. very unique and different

props

one of my work bikes, use it to sling packages

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.

original setup


midway point


currently

here's my bike as it came:


new saddle, seatpost, crankset, stem, bars


new wheels


de-anodized chainring, new tires


new bars again




there are a few more changes i want to make but probably not until the spring.

Oh I've got some evolution...
I've love this frame so much and it my most favorite bike ever because of it's versatility
1st build

For snow

Commuter

Bad Boy

Carrying Bad Boy

Speedy

After selling the Aerospokes (I loved those wheels), but went for ceramic rims because of all the weather I go through with this bike

Track mode

Big Boy (rolling on 35mm tires)

Switching cranks and wheels

Back to black

and finally recently from the snow this past week

@gospastic yeah dude! that's a great evolution! Great photos by the way, but we've discussed that matter on Flickr

And also the evolution of what I carried with this bike
23lbs of laundry

Cheerios, Cherries, and Strawberries

24pk of Red Bull (for my dad; I don't drink that stuff), 35pk of water, 12 pk of paper towels

Helping my friend out by donating a suitcase

Spending a night at school since I don't dorm


Carrying a leaf press for Botany class

43lbs of laundry

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

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.

gyeswho, i love your bike, but can you learn how to resize your pictures?

Yeah, make them BIGGER. Want more Gyeswho bike!!!

Gyeswho wins the thread.

oops! sorry
i forget folks use phones to get online now

or cheap little computers, in my case

Before

After
