Just picked up some low rise race face bars from the LBS and a brake setup for my IRO when it gets here next week. The bars and brake setup only cost me $50, all new old stock stuff too. I'll post up some pics of the bike when it gets here.

Origin 8?

btw, I've never seen that many spacers for a stem before.

[e30_kid]

Yup, Origin8 replaced the BB while I was there with a new Shimano unit, it's like butter now. I wore my old one out in a few months. Yeah, the spacers came like that....I've been meaning to take some of them off, it look so retarded.

I was about to say cut that steerer tube.

I think I'm going to start building a new bike soon, but it's going to be a SS. Still gonna be a track frame, I think I'm going to get the Leader framset I've been lusting after.

I'll cut it soon but I did move the stem down some and it made everything so much nicer...

[Farbin Kaiber]

Josh, don't feel bad, I've been riding SS all this season, the roads here are a little bit sketchy, and being able to coast sometimes helps navigate livestock feces.

[Jand3rson]

I don't feel bad. I just want the ability to coast, and to bomb big hills without worrying about spinning out.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Well, I figured urry1 in this thread would call me a little bitch.

Buncha bitches

And there is was. Part of my problem with fixed is foot retention. Even with the biggest clips and straps I can buy, I cant get my size 16's centered on the pedal for enuf comfort. That's why I flipped the hub, and pulled the cages.

That kinda sucks. That's the fun of riding fixed gear, coaster's suck.
