The R3V Bicycle Thread

[Jand3rson]

I just said fuck it and bought a Windsor. Sick of dealing with the local Bianchi dealer.
Time to start building it up :)

Mr. Anderson, we're twins now

What color and size did you get? You'll be pleased, it's a pretty good setup for the money. Comes with really good cranks, a pretty decent stem, and rides really nice.

I decided my first purchase for the bike is going to be the big one, I'm going to get new wheels. I want to get some Deep V's, but I'm having trouble deciding what color I'm going to get.

[T3rd Ferguson]

Me too, haha. Can't say it's ever gonna happen though. I pulled it out of the garage to detail it once?

56cm dark gray, just like yours.

I think I'm going for the celeste deep V's, with pink grips on a riser bar and -10mm riser.

First thing I'm doing is taking the stickers off though. And the only reason I bought the Windsor was because I rode my friends again yesterday, now that he has a 650c front wheel. Awesome for bar spins (with 165mm crank arms). Think I may do a 650c CF fork as well, not sure which direction I'm going with the bike yet but I'll post pictures!

Mine's a 58. They're not stickers tho, unfortunately. I was going to do the same thing. I think when I get a new bike, I'm going to get a smaller frame.

I think I'm going to get the Deep V's in red, and do my whole bike grey/red.

Heres some 700c red Vuelta's Deep V's.

http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID=1148

189 shipped
They also have half V's for like 140 shipped in red.

I'll get vinyl and wrap over it then :) Or get 92_mtechnic_cabrio to make me some more stickers...

We should start a R3Vlimited Fixie Clan and get some stickers cut..

[Jand3rson]

Not bad, I'd just have to swap my 16T cog on. Awesome price, too. BikeIsland is the shit.

I'm totally down for getting a R3V fixie clan going. We need to make a spoke card, too. :D Fuck that, I'm just going to get a solid rear wheel and make it into a giant Roundel. :up:

Methinks I might get these, too:

lol a giant roundel. You could, just pick up a HED disc wheel and put a big sticker over it or something.

What should we call said Fixie Clan? And what logo? I'll pay to have the stickers cut :)

And spoke cards are great ideas.

Also, get those bars, and put the Mash bar ends on it.

r3v fixed crew. let's do it. I had no idea this thread would turn into a phenomenon, I was one of the first few to post up my fixie, this shit has hit the fan!

I would love to be able to set up an east coast fixed gear ride somewhere. (like philly- lawl) but i know it'd never be able to happen.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I nominate myself for SoCal "Future Fixie Owner" Crew. Once it's a fixie, I'll change the name.

[scabzzzz]

What about R3VELO ?
Like R3V VELO
R3vel0

R3V F1XT

Something that would look cool on a sticker, or cut as a sticker to replace the brand logo...etc.

We need to find a sweet iconic logo, like what Mash has in the "M"

Maybe I should post in hte Photoshop section for a logo search :D

You're on page number 1, I'm on page number 2!

Its not hard, promise.

Or come to my house, we'll build a bike. :)

I am starting with a bare frame so it's a slow process... I had a decked out titanium roady, but I had to sell it due to my moneys bein all gones

What about F1X3D for the name? Follows the same 1337 scheme as R3V does.

Started my SS project today, i stripped down the Gary Fisher i found in the trash and am taking it in for Powdercoat($60 at a local joint aint to bad) this weekend. Though i am having a hard time deciding between satin black or satin white. Luckily i have some parts laying around to replace the beat down stem and bars. First purchase was a White IND double freewheel 16/18t manual swap(so i guess its not really a SS, more of a double speed). But i will post up some pics when i get her back, and get started putting her together. Good thing i am going TDY, so i can save up some moneys!!

I'm down for the fixed crew...considering I ride mine to work everyday. :D
