Not bad.

I would have cloned out the beer bottle, but that's just me.

Very nice job.

I know, if I knew how to work with Photoshop I would have done just that... Now I only use lightroom so it's not that easy to remove stuff...

Very Nice! :thumb:

Great depth of field. What camera was used?

The camera was a Olumpus E-PL1 and the lens an old Minolta Rokkor 50mm 1.4.

great

Needs some clips/straps, otherwise very clean.

Very Nice, looks great. How's the ride ?

Mixing Shimano components kind of drives me crazy, but to each their own. Where's your rear brake. I'm also curious how the chromed sidewalls work as braking surfaces (or at the very least, how you'll keep them clean).

Looks nice though. And you don't watermark. Props!

The rear is a coaster brake.

All show and no go.

Great expense and effort spent entirely on appearance, very little attention to function. Great for impressing bikeforums, very annoying to actually ride.

Pedals are one sided, meant to be used with clips
Track drops and cross lever on singlespeed = stupid
Half link chain unnecessary, wears much faster
Bottom bracket backwards? Can't tell what's going on non-drive side
White everything would immediately become dingy grey everything
Brake pad engages unmachined rim
Unused frame chain tension adjustment?
You have the clearance and it's a street SS- why 23s?

DO NOT WANT

Missed that. Thanks.

Well, I really don't know because it is to big for me... I assembled it from a frame and parts I had lying around and intend to sell it.
For me most of the fun is in building them :)

I had a similar one that fitted me a few years ago though and it makes for a smooth ride :)

I did that on the previous one I build but didn't like it because it's hard to get out of the clips after braking with the coaster brake (and not falling...) :)

Here is a picture of that one

you make me look like i'm not a miserable jerk by comparison...thanks

I like.

Looks clean. :thumb:

did someone get bullied at school today?

You need to get your eyes examined. Those are not "track" drops.

His bottom bracket lockring is on backwards.

I'm surprised you didn't notice that the valve stems don't line up with the tire labels. Sacrebleu!

give me your wheelset. NOAWH
