You guys should see the 7Elevens here in Hawaii, they sell local, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Filipino style snacks. Half of them have SPAM in it. Also they have POG.

My first fixed gear! Put it together myself, so currently both getting used to the bike as well as triple-checking if nothing comes off...) Will probably replace parts as I get more used to it and figure out what I like. so far I've only swapped the standard grips for Fizik bar tape (first tape-job, there's, uhm, room for improvement
) Next up are some brown toestraps to replace the black ones.After that, will probably look into getting a better saddle
Coming from an Electra Rally Sport (which only "sporty" characteristics are the name and the go-faster-stripes) it's quite a leap, but enjoying it so far!

) but I have learned a few things for next time (mostly around the start and finish of the wrap). I've considered gumwalls, but I'll wait till these are (at least a bit) worn out. Also not sure if I'd prefer gumwalls, full brown tires or maybe some thickslicks, maybe even white ones... The saddle seems quite harsh on my bottom, but as my other bike is a soft, bouncy, laidback cruiser, it might just be me needing to get used to it

Thanks! The tape went better than expected to be honest (i.e.: it's on the handlebars
) but I have learned a few things for next time (mostly around the start and finish of the wrap).

Really digging the bike.

Bought a new fg on craigslist!
Its a Raleigh Macaframa Rush Hour Pro Frameset, with Reynolds Recon Carbon wheels

Can't wait to bring it on a ride. I have been itching for a ride all week!

The color you're looking for is celeste green, not seafoam. Try again when you're sober.

Also, added brown straps (yes yes, non-drive side pic... also, next time I'll try and find a less depressing background!)
