If it was a conversion in the first place, you can convert it back. If it were a track specific frame, not really a good idea, you'd probably need a derailleur hangar installed and you probably won't have enough space in the rear fork for a bigger freewheel/cassette.

If that's the case, just buy an old road bike off CL

is there a real big change from 170 mm to 165 mm cranks?

5 mm is only ~.20 inch

but im moving from a schwinn to my new surly and it has a lower bottom bracket

[arevalo]

been awhile.

here's what i'm taking around nowadays..

100x steps further from the flashy concept i had 2 years ago.

a porteur rack and fenders are in the near future. .... once i find a job.

shellac porn!

would love a 650b wheelset. 27" wheels look huge on it atm.

[dralfonzo]

thats such a fuckin classy bike, props.

[siq tribal brah]

for real, both of those bikes are mad clean.

[cure]

arevalo, thats a great looking bike. similar color scheme to what i want to do with my bike. Did you just paint the part where the brakes meet the handle?

[terrible!]

shellac porn!

That bike is so classy that if I rolled up next you I would feel it necessary to ask if you had any Grey Poupon.

when did BMW start making fixie frames? Pre-Pharrell or post?

No, and pedals and bottom bracket width have more of an influence on avoiding pedal strike.

I always hated 165mm and could never go shorter than 170mm. I had pedal strike on an Iro Rob Roy and a KHS conversion. It wasn't a big deal.

Post, if I'm correct...but who knows if dude is the reason they were produced.

Someone dropped off my wheelset today while I was at work. I guess it was shipped to the wrong house, thank god they didn't keep that shit.

Haha, oh man

[dralfonzo]

no they made the gangsta track before pharrell got his carbon midget bike

[arevalo]

thanks for the comments guys!

lol @ grey poupon

The inverse levers are actually that color.

I purchased them off of velo-orange.

[mlproject]

if the dude at your LBS fucked up your shit, he should be liable.

that pharrel shot is mad old, but so funny. his knees would explode if he rode that around like that.

you failed again. this looks even dumber.

[mlproject]

i have a white and a blue anodized deep v for sale/trade. they're both 36 hole, nonmachined, clincher and have never been built up. the blue has some small scratches. they are both straight and true.

i will sell these for $40 each + freight ($60 new off the internet before shipping, typically $75 or so at your shop). i will also trade one straight up for a black, 36 hole, nonmachined aerohead or both for a selle san marco regal saddle in any color (no perforated leather though).

i think i'm the only person i know that doesn't like the look of carbon wheels.

i wish i could find a 48 spoke rear wheel. that would be awesome for me.

dont they make really hig spoke coutn wheels for polo wheels?

thought they did or i might be wrong

[mlproject]

phil will custom drill a hub for no extra charge. finding a rim is another issue. you can probably find one pretty high for a tandem wheel.

nah i dont like them either. especially not on the steet

[the Repeater]

Deep rims ride like doodoo. They stay straight with as little as 8 spokes (Shimano) but they are punishingly rough and skitter out on rough roads and are downright hairy on fast, bumpy corners.

40-spoke rims shouldn't take too much digging about, I think Sun still makes one, Velocity offers it standard, and Phil had a normal hub drilled 40 for tandems.

40-spoke 4x laced looks pretty ridic.

[m1sterko]

just curious but whats a "step above" wheelset from deep V's?

mavic ellipse's?:confused:

[panthermodern]

Yeah Ellipses are generally a step up...

but theres so much more to a wheelset than just the rim. Are we talking V's to formulas here? or Phils? or DA? or maybe something in the middle. What kind of spokes, butted, bladed, spoke count, nipples, etc.

I personally ride Dura-ace laced to Mavic Open Pros and thats definitely a step up from most Deep V wheelsets out there... probably comparable to Phil-Deep V combo

[skeetinmynose]

Anyone got a Nitto RB-021 laying around?

[corter]

i don't know why i wear white sneakers, but i've been doing it for years. this always happens about a month in.

[mlproject]

tan lines!

[corter]

hahaha, yes!

[bouwnt]

[dralfonzo]

haha nice authentics. those are the most comfey shoes for riding in i think

[meta]
