MIN i just got a sella san marco ponza lux for christmas. How did yours hold up. I'm not expecting much for what i payed ($25)...

It seems to be super durable. It comes stock on lots of bikes (Fuji, KHS, etc) and it's pretty comfortable. I moved it to my cargo bike.

had to really dig to find some of these:

That thing is tarck as ****.

I think we have the same bullhorns. Do you know what kind they are? Because I totally forgot and it's bugging me.

OS nashbar brand. best horns ever, with the flat tops.

Did you paint those tires or are those tires that they sell?

rivendell speedblend ruffy tuffys. great tires. blend to teal and purple at speed.
they're also really expensive b/c of the weird process they put em through for the sidewalls

Finished. But wheelset will be downgraded this weekend.

I thought that was a massive pie-plate on the back for a moment. :thumb:

^^ lol

out of the box, last june or so:

i never really used the drops, even at first:
http://www.pixelparlor.com/images/bi.../zip_bike1.jpg

i added a brake, fender, changed the pedals, replaced the rear tire with an armadillo, trimmed the steerer, chopped the bars a little:
http://www.pixelparlor.com/images/bi.../zip_bike5.jpg

I replaced the wheels, saddle, seatpost, stem, chainring, cog, lockring, clips, straps, and replaced the rear tire with a folding gatorskin to get it just right:

fenders broke...my old seat...
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/DSCN2758.jpg
saw the tempo on the last page, PROPS...my winter bike. starting to come together, just hate that stem. i might paint it but i like it in vintage mode alot!

Admit it, a bike that sweet needs a honey brooks, not black, and a nice silver nitto rack. Maybe one of these. http://www.rivbike.com/images/produc...193/20-075.jpg

And since you have honjo fenders, you can't claim cost as a factor.

The well-worn B-15 was from my first road bike. The leather around one of the rivets has torn, so it's only a matter of time before it dies. This makes me sad, as it's been the most comfortable saddle thus far. I just can't bear to part with it. A honey replacement has been the plan for some time now.

The Pass & Stow front rack is handmade locally, and I absolutely love the piece. It allows me to carry all sorts of things--the wide platform is a huge plus. Strapping down an overloaded backpack makes riding much more pleasant. It also has the ability to carry panniers, and the internal cable routing will come in handy with a new wheelset.

I spent a lot of time looking for the right front rack. Rivendell's offering is nice, but I desired a large base. Their rear rack interests me, however.

that rack looks well made and functional, but would be sweeter in chrome

This is it loaded on my trailer. I bought the frame on craigslist and brought it 12 miles home on my trailer. Note it had a Shimano FF (Freewheel built into crank) still installed when i got it.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/...fbe882e697.jpg

Here it is towingthe same trailer 3 1/2 months later towing the same trailer with a christmas tree on top. She's a work in progress. I need to wrap the bars, and buy a better crank. Its a really tiny frame with 175mm cranks, so you can't lean to far into turns, I hit the ground with the left pedal at low speed for the first time today. I was not expecting that.

Thanks!
Also in the plans. Finding a reliable, quality plating shop in CA is no joke.

here's a few incarnations of my first bike

freshly bought off eBay (SS)

fixed now, in west texas dirt mode

helping the tarck movement along back in '05-ish
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3195/...dfec4f.jpg?v=0

that was a good frame... i hope someone is still riding it out there.
