Just wanted to introduce myself, im new to the forum and hope to gain some new knowledge.
Below is my current commuter and exercise bike. Its a 1985 Focus RT-550 frame and fork (63cm, im a tall guy), converted to single speed. Im too old for a fixie so it has a White Industries freewheel. 700c H plus son wheel set, Specialized Armadillo tires, Specialized body geometry saddle, Campy Veloche brake set, vintage (if you can call 1994 vintage) NOS Suntour Xc Pro brake levers and a vintage NOS Nitto Dynamic II 90* quill stem. It also has some super comfortable Herrmans cork grips. Its been a fun build and im looking forward to putting many miles on it.

Welcome to Bike Forums.

A most clean lookin machine.

Thanks for the pic.

Thanks 10 wheels, I hate stickers and advertising.

Your stem couldn't be any less slammed.

Not sure what this means, but ok...

If it was a long Technomic it could be WAY less slammed. And hey, it's a 0°, he coulda put on some positive rise model - more potential unslamming.

This bike isnt some hipster fixie, the 72 degree doesnt do it for me. Im a tall guy and I cant be stooped over for the cummute

This bike is so special it deserves its own thread? In the future please just post your bike here, like everyone else. Posting it in your own thread means that you are likely to get more criticism, such as "Are you sure that that bike isn't too big for you?".

Just an introduction and showing what I ride. If the mods would like to ax the thread then I would be happy to post in the other as mentioned

The big issue with your bike is that you basically say you wanted to be upright as in a comfort bike. Why would you use a frame that was clearly designed with aggressive geometry?

Im very comfortable on it, I hardly know its there when I ride

Groovy. Keep riding.

I do everyday
