Because the T1 is a track bike, and has no bottle bosses... so I mounted it to the saddle rails.

Surely you'd know that... since you bought one?

pretty sure he was joking

karrar

yeah just a joke man, look up to see the brake placement argument above

tramnineteen

This is a great question I had never thought of before. Anyone have any experience with the issue? I live in Portland, OR and we have a break law too.

meatlikeproduct

I imagine when a new brake law is ready to be enforced all officers are familiarized with the brake requirements. And they don't have a lot to learn. Try that "it's a coaster brake" thing on the wrong cop and your chances of being let off with a warning will go from slim to zilch fast.

better pictures of things, and a few changes, mainly better peedals.

for riding around in circles in funny clothes



@mucky...that street gearing is ridiculous, why? other than the obvious answer that you can... it's rare that i, and most racers, run that high as a default, what is that 54:14/13....like 100+ GI? my go to track gearing runs usually ~90 GI and i wouldn't even think to push that on a daily. that's a bigger issue than your weird lever position =]

Those old Cannondales are funny lookin with the fat tubes and the little fork, still sweet bikes though.

latest incarnation, new saddle amongst other things...
hawaii is rough on her, but she's handling it well...





****ty cellphone pics... it's all i got.

How does that brake work when you are descending at 70 kmh and spinning at 190 rpm ?

Lower your gearing and learn to spin and you'll be able to ride faster than 20mph...

evilcryalotmore

Thats a wide lense. Cut your steering tube! Also how does the charge saddle feel?

cleanupinaisle3

Looks like it was stitched together with Hugin.

muckymucky

davis is flat (no hills, sure ill lower if and when i move). spinning no more than 151rpm. go no faster than 40mph ever. brake still works well at 40mph.
i'm surprised even you're butting in on this. like i said, i cant convince you that it works, you'll have to run the setup and your doubts will be disproved.
my poseur knees are fine tho~ (maybe because its flat)

Ouhei

Haha, it's about 6 or 7 shots stitched together in photoshop. I plan on taking it to a shop to get the tube cut either this weekend or next week; I've been busy moving and haven't had the time.

The charge seat is quite comfy, I never used the stock seat so I can't really compare it to anything, but it's comfy enough that my butt doesn't hurt after longer rides.

allhailshater

new kilo arrived yesterday. I'll cut the steerer tube eventuall but it's not a priority.

Here we go, first time posting my bike. I know some of you all won't dig the colors... but I think they're silly and fun.


My Schwinn World Sport conversion.
Chain is a little slack... but working on that. Some world sports had kind of odd rear dropouts where the slot wasn't cut back very far on the drive side. I think that's been discussed here though. black seatpost and bars because I'm thinking about/in the process of upgrading componants and going for all black. New saddle coming in the mail too; the $5 knockoff is starting to be a pain in my a$$.

I'm a big fan of this bike. Love the beat up track frame

Introducing the SS Bumblebee:



I liked my fixie so much I converted my Walmart GMC Denali road bike to single speed. I still have to convert the triple chainring to a single ring, but they are rivetted so that will take some work. The gearing is 48/14 but I could do 48/16 with a half link. I needed to convert the vertical dropout to a vertical/horizontal dropout using my patented zero-dollar sweat equity procedure to get the chain tension right.

I also need to grind off the derailleur hanger and the shift cable guides. No going back.

LupinIII

grinding dropouts on a walmart bike?

i think i found something more jackass than ray's brake

lusth

Don't get it. It will only take me a few minutes to grind it with my angle grinder with the result being it won't look like a conversion.

erichsia

I, for one, wholly support this venture, and expect this undertaking to be accompanied by numerous pictures of bike before/during/after procedure. I also advise consuming large amounts of grain alcohol throughout the process.

lusth

Not a problem, I still have 6 fingers left, total.

Figured I'd post these up before I sell them (or at least one) off. I need to make some room in the stable, but I'm not sure which I should sell.

Obviously the Windsor has a chain and chainring bolts now. I may keep the record headset and Alfredo Binda's if I sell it.
~'86 Windsor Super Carrera
Campy Triomphe crank /42
Campy GS pedals
Record Seatpost
Gold Ano Ale clips
3TTT stem
Velocity Deep V's to Formulas /16


Cannondale R3000si (light!)
Would probably keep the Thompson and pedals here, and possible the Turbo Lite saddle.
Sugino 75 crank /42
Deda Pista drops/ strong V grips
dp18's to formula's
Record Headset


I like the Windsor because it's unique and attractive, but the Cannondale is so damn light and agile. It also has a dent in the downtube.

evilcryalotmore

The windsor is pretty.
