Threw my new frame together with scavenged parts while I wait for my new (mostly used) parts to come in, and took a ride along the river:

This is ace and I don't even like risers on track bikes. Well done.

What river is that? What is the location?

Why do they have a fire extinguisher cemented to the ground?

Should have featured the "no bicycles" sign more prominently in the shot.

Thanks! It's my first build and I'm super stoked.

It's the Han River in Seoul.

That's a bollard, not a fire extinguisher, but I wouldn't be surprised to see such a thing here. And you're totally right about featuring the no bicycles sign.

Tires don't match. Throw it in the river and start over.

Bollard... I learned a new word today.

Lol, you guys and your orthodoxies.

Also, I don't think I've ever used stoked non-facetiously before. What are bicycles doing to me???

When you ride a sw8 fixie, it's always stoke time.

I thought that looked like Seoul. I was there about 5 years ago. Quite the city, isn't it? We went to that big white tower in the background.

Even with the temporary parts, your bike looks pretty nice. Except for the stem/bar combination. That's the first thing I'd change. Should be really cool, though, when you get it all done.

Yep, Seoul is very cool, and great for biking if you live along the miles and miles of paved river paths. You can ride for hours in any direction and still have further to go/more to explore, but you're still in the city. Or you can just keep going and head into the countryside.

You know, I was pretty unhappy with the stem/bar combo when I put it on, but it's starting to grow on me. It's also surprisingly comfortable. It was the first thing I was looking forward to changing, but now I'm not so sure.

[MENTION=449774]scoho[/MENTION], I really appreciate when people post pictures of what to me is a foreign country or a far off place.

I wish there were more people posting pictures from Asia, Africa and such places.

Thanks for the pic. Please post more with the scenery if you have a chance.

Thanks and will do, Tim!

Definitely going to have to upgrade my F- photography skills, though.

Took a casual ride around my hood on my old French bike SS conversion. The photo was taken in a small park that's a stone's throw from my house.

On a flat and smooth part of the climb.

I loved this photo series on bridges in Seoul, and happened to find myself under one of the featured bridges today:



(Would greatly appreciate if anyone could tell me how to resize images in a post...)

I will do no such thing, thats a great photograph

Agreed. Great photo!

That looks so fun!

Haha, thanks!

But, still, everyone else's photos are sized so appropriately...

When I resize in my photo editor the quality gets severely degraded, and I can't figure out how to resize directly in the post. I should probably just throw myself in the river along with my bike.

thanks. had the best time this fall exploring unpaved rail trails. looking forward to going back to a few with a light covering of snow. gotta shake this cold first

Fixed my pics.
