it's just an A frame with B cranks. I simply dislike anything but road/track clipless pedals or road/track clipped pedals on fixed gears.

Coming from the guy that is on the fence about a Pake Rum Runner.

snap! good memory. There's nothing wrong with using a rumrunner for an errand bike.

PS- I decided against it.

Nice. Spacers look like poker chips when zoomed out.

I'm late in coming to the fixed-S/S scene as I will be collecting my free bus pass is a couple of years, but a fixed gear bike was always something I wanted. So last year I set myself a target to get myself accredited at our local velodrome and therefore my mission was to find a track bike suitable for me to ride indoors.

I found this Ridley Oval advertised 350 miles away and done a deal and it was delivered to me long before I became accredited for track riding
The only changes I have made to this is to replace the bars with Pro-Vibe carbon track bars and replace the stem with a Deda 100 Elementi Pista 17° stem


Last autumn I decided I didn't want to cycle around our salt covered roads on my carbon framed bike so I bought a Genesis Skyline which was 4 or 5 years old and had done a total of 20 miles, it was like brand new apart from the price tag
Last winter I cycled over 2000 miles on it and managed to do a Strava Gran Fondo on 2nd January covering 89 miles and 5200 feet of elevation




Then in April I was offered a Fort Veto RO.78.DB2 which required a bit of work, I dabbled with bullbars but then decided they were not for me




Finally for now I managed to buy a used Giant Omnium frameset and built this up

+1, despite me not being a gambler i think thats awesome.
/calls gambler friends and measures poker chip diameters

Did you install the nuts for the second cage yourself?

Yes.

This is the post your bike thread not the what don't you like thread sssshh

Forgot how comfortable this bike is to ride.

My dirty Kilo TT

Looks like the Hudson along the Westside Highway. I know that spot, lol. Nice ride btw.

That's it. Beautiful day for a ride yesterday!

Thanks to Retrogression for the seatpost, stem, and bars. Everything else came from elsewhere.

2004 Bianchi Pista - Pedal Room

beautifully done!
love the crank, ring and chain combo. and phil hubs. of course.

Thank you, kindly!

I've put that frame through many builds never being quite satisfied. I'm glad I found a good commuting build for it!

Some updates of my lower end bikes:

Better pic of my townified Windsor Clockwork. Total cost to date: $280.16. Total weight with basket: 24.3 lb.

Before:



After:







I'm still experimenting with handlebars and probably not going to keep the Nitto RB-021s pictured -- hence no bar tape (for now). If anyone local is interested in buying them, let me know.

It looks like it wants risers.

Tried them, they're not for me.

Impulse buy. 1975 Fuji America. Will probably turn it back into a road bike. Came with front and rear derailleurs and a 5 speed cassette.

If you want bulls, maybe try RB-001 or RB-002 (depending on stem clamp size) for something that has a flatter profile. When I looked at your bike pics I kind of liked the before pictures more but that was because the bars were taped.

What was that saying about great minds?
