Anyone get in on IRO's customer appreciation day? I believe there are still a few goodies left over.

What's the best type of paint to repaint my frame with?

I got this bike as partial payment for a little work I did for a friend.
It was fuckin trashed, so I rebuilt it and this is what I ended up with.

Regular automotive spray paint I guess?
Or you could get some BMW factory color paint mixed up in a spray can. That would be awesome.

That's funny - because I'm thinking inka, tiaga, or turf. It would be sick if it matched my 1600.

What do you guys think of a suzue hub laced to araya rims? $130 with cog/lockring

This local guy is sellin em to me but I dunno if they're worth it. They came off of the GT GTB bike but theres not tires/tubes.

Ever since I got my Fixed a few months ago I have been stuck at Bike forums and getting up to par on the scene I totally forgot about this thread. Nice to see a lot of you guys basically at the same stage as I am :)

Found this Bike on CL, its a 1980's Miyata 110 frame, not sure how the bike shop found it but its a brand new frame, they built it up with cheap parts and sold it on CL. I didnt really know what it was only that I thought it looked good and it turned out to be a score because I love it and nobody has a similar bike. Still plans to get some real bullhorns on it ans sort out the chunky seat post. Also thinking of a track fork to bring the front wheel up closer.

Thats worse than this guy I know who has a honda emblem tattooed on his upper back. I've even seen a guy with a colored in subaru logo. and on s13 forums, i've seen a guy with SILVIA tattooed across his upper back.

at least she didnt put a wheel on each boob.
