Bikes: 2010 GT Marathon Sport, 1999 Updated Cannondale R600, 1985 Schwinn Tempo, 1987 Raleigh Technium 460 fixed gear, 2004 Fujiback Nevada/sorrento, several bikes not worth mentioning, and a half-dozen project bikes
Before:

After: Running a 52-17 ratio. Weighs in at 18lbs. Swapped over Sugino cranks and mavic 700c front rim, and bought a new chain, Sunlite fluted seatpost, and FSA Vision TT saddle

Laced the hub myself. Runs truer than before I disassembled the wheel. Vintage 700c Peugeot rim laced to walmart-spec hub. Avenir 17t cog and FSA lockring. And I've never had a problem with the suicide hub unscrewing...I just make sure it's tight periodically.

And that is the original REAL white leather handlebar tape.

Total build cost: $33

Panaracer pasela PT's
Among the nicest riding commuting tires I've ever used and dirt cheap too.
They look like veloflex or vittoria evo's w/o the premium bite.
