Anyone wanna buy me a Target bike and ship it to Canada?

**** me, I'd totally buy a beater for $35.

Sorry for the bad photos but my phone was all I had with me.
Its a mostly stock Windsor Clockwork Plus

How do u like this bike? I'm between the clockwork and clockwork plus.

skielbasa

Its pretty nice. I'm pretty sure the only differences between the regular and the plus are the wheels (plus has painted rims and cartridge bearings) and color choices.

I'm curious with the classic-look of my bike so I borrowed my friend's wheelsets and handlebar-set, and let him took these photos....











with my own wheelset...

Looks better with the polished box-sections and gumwalls, imo. Red and gumwalls work together

Here's my two singlespeeds. I use these for long rides with moderate hill climbing. I find SS climbing great fun, and the training benefits show when I ride my geared bikes on the steeper stuff later .

First one is a vintage Peugeot mixte that was professionally powder coated yellow and built up as a 42x17 singlespeed by Edible Pedal in midtown Sacramento. They are a bicycle food delivery service/LBS.

Since these pictures were taken I have removed the seat bag and handlebar-mounted bottle cage. I use my Camelbak instead. The bottle kept bouncing out of the cage when riding over rough pavement, and there are no braze-ons to properly mount bottle cages on the frame.





Here's a drivetrain-side pic. This was immediately after purchase, before replacing the heavy 35c hybrid tires with 28c Gatorskins, the grips with better-looking, more comfortable ones, and the pedals with ones that accept clips and straps.



Here's my 2009 Specialized Langster Las Vegas (left), bought a few days ago on CL. It has the stock 42x16 gearing. I replaced the worn stock chain with a gold one, the crappy Specialized All Condition tires with 25c Gatorskins, the Redline BMX pedals with ones that accept clips and straps, and the worn-out bar tape. Whoever had this bike before was very rough on it, as the paint was pretty scratched up. I took a Sharpie to the worst of it, and I'll have to touch up the fork and seatstay scratches later.

Previous owner replaced the stock front wheel with a Velocity Deep V. My riding partner (bike on the right) also replaced his stock rear wheel with a Velocity.

You are absolutely right. This bike is definitely fast with the 49/16 gears (but not so great for the hills around here). I have plans to put pedal straps and a front brake on whenever the parts decide to show up...

Here is picture for you Aerospoke lovers.

I'd go with my current black wheelset but with gumwalls, what do you think?


and this is my current build, 1970's Raleigh Record Sprint. Yep, another conversion



Already had B17 for my ass but still need a stem, Nitto Pearl or Dynamic will do.

Looks good! Definitely like the big logo delete. Very classy

Mumonkan

that blue is so damn good

next bike is either gonna be blue or purple, maybe green

Hieberrr

Minty green, baby. You know you want to.

Reeses

Thanks
Purple Kilo TT's been at the back of my head ... but too many bikes lol

garlic_rice

Why convert? That would make a kickass geared ride. At least a 1x7 or 8.
Sweet frame though.

highonpez

I don't usually like messenger chainrings on conversions, but it works really well on that.

Mumonkan

Hot.

Sup w/ the chain on the flipside?

alexboer2004

only for decoration

Mumonkan

I can dig it, was that annoying to connect the links on there?

TOKI188

With a missing link it would be easy.

Scrodzilla

That's pretty dumb.

Hieberrr

I think it looks interesting. Do what you wanna do to your bike, mate.

so much for a useful flip flop hub.

i actually use mine for gear changes.
