Whenever I see the word "chimo" I think... child molester.

That would be "chomo" although "chimo" fits better lol. Regardless, I removed the decals tonight. Removing stickers as old as me is not a simple task

Cottered cranks in the 80s?

Wow.

Been a long time since I've heard of "Chimo."

I used to work for the importer.

Finished for now

How does everyone feel about the rear rack?
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=250493

looks ok

Rack looks good, but now the brake is gone. Curious, why did you opt for it in the rear and not front (the brake)?

Youre missing a brake on the front: unless you're riding freewheel with just back brake (not safe) or you're riding fixed with a back brake (pointless)

First off I didn't ask about the brake lol. I was only running the rear temporarily till my front caliper arrives (today). I am WELL aware that the rear only sucks a fat one :thumb:

Rack looks good, clean bike.

Bike and the rack look good. Nice job.

Foot retention?

Those are clipless pedals I just have the clip in platforms on, It's single speed at the moment anyway. Getting pedals and clips tomorrow hopefully since I cant afford nor do I care to get clipless shoes

Cool build

You should care about clipless shoes, they are awesome.

Got some platforms, clips and straps from my lbs today. Supposedly the first sealed bearing road pedal, either way I like them.

That came out really well, man.

Looks good, fattony.

Thanks guys

:lol:

Neato build, OP.

I was looking to buy that same wheelset (Amelia from Eighth Inch?). Any complaints?

Nope, they run good so far, pretty light as well

Looks like you've got mad clearance available on the back wheel, always nice to have options! What's up with the cross lever but no tape on the flats? Seems a bit backwards how that is all set up.

I don't care one way or another, but if this thread was started today it would get flamed and closed. Or just closed, depending on who got here first. Just sayin.

Thats a nice bike. Looks good.

If mine, I would have done a full tape with hoods for the extra hand position.

Looks good.

It was originally 27 in wheels so yeah, tons of room. As far as tape goes, i haven't got around to purchasing any and had these grips laying around
