I'm going to, I just wanted to get it installed. My friend fucked up his fork, and I told him he could have my stock one.

I think I'm going to make it 2-tone. I'm going to do the outside of it the same color as my frame, and then make the inside red, to go with the rest of my red parts.

Andy, the bike looks sick man, I love those bars with the grips, I just got a set of Soma Major Taylors 46cm track drops with the Soma grips and they are sick.

[T3rd Ferguson]

yeah those grips are pretty legit, i have my risers on at the moment

[Bavarian3]

Saw this bike in person today; I want.

[scabzzzz]

Parts I ordered should be here Monday. I'll take some fotos for your enjoyment, if anyone even enjoys my bike. It is fuckin gay after all.

[Jand3rson]

I gots a new seat, Swobo Shopping Cart, for $30 at the LBS. They took if off of a Sanchez because the guy that bought it got a different seat for it.



Now I just need a CF seatpost, and that section will be done.

And the greatest spoke card ever:



I just want the wheel set off of that Trek.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Andy, all I gotta say is, your team.

[So Live]

Picked up some parts. Got some super vintage Benotto bar tape, ditched the schwinn crankset and threw on a set of Sugino XD's off my mountain bike (which are way too long) and a new brake lever.

So how many of you can say your bikes have a parking brake?

Mine does!




As she sits:

[Farbin Kaiber]

Are you riding that SS or fixed?

[So Live]

Fixed. Those are the stock wheels though so no lock ring therefore i need a brake. Idk if id be comfortable right now with out one anyway. Im not strong enough resisting to stop fast if i needed to.

[Jand3rson]

Do you have room on the spindle still for a lock ring? You really should get one, they're really cheap. If you go and try to pedal really hard or stop hard by resisting, you can slip the cog.

I really, really want this wheelset. There's only 20 hours left on it, and I'm keeping an eye on it. If it stays relatively low, I might just dive on them.
