this is my second fix, but I have 7 other bikes. Just took it out and it rides pretty sweet. feel free to voice any opinions you might have. since ya'll are seemingly as obsessed with bikes as I, thought I would share the glow of new one

No, I bought the frame off CL for $30. The bike was more or less complete but the back wheel was messed up, the PO had intentions of converting it but realized he was over his head. So it came with the nitto stem, bars, sugino crank. Wheels were 100, chain was 25. Seat I found dumpster diving at the bike store

Caddyfatcat was a character with a pimped out cadillac in this old computer game where you went apesh*t with cars named carmageddon. I dropped a "d" and adopted it

$30 for all that stuff is a pretty good deal. I assume their Sugino RD2s. I can't really see.

I bought that wheelset a little bit ago. They really aren't bad for the price considering they come with tubes and tires.

Wow what a bargain!
But then again I would consider $155 a bargain for some single components these days...

More importantly, would like to know the status of deep rim in background. Or potential ideas.

I was hoping OP's username was a subtle Mean Girls reference.
