that's a score

[the Repeater]

Yeah it is.

I hope you keep the tubs. Nothings more retro-cool than those bladed Hoshi's. FYI, I got some Schwalbe Milano tubs, they are perfectly straight, ride great, fold small, cost $32. I recs.

Eeeerday tubs FTW.

took this picture yesterday.. video to come...

[skeetinmynose]

Yeah, I'm keeping them tubular. Acquired another Record Pista hubset that I'm going to build into an everyday clincher set-up.

Wish these weren't laced 1x and radial, though.

[chris_n]

some clown thought it would be funny to use red loctite on my cog when they were assembling it at the factory. i stretched my chain trying to rota-unfix it off.

fuck.

[Mr. M]

Hey Guys. For my semester project in design, we had to design and create a product that we would eventually sell. i created a leather U-lock holster. I sold a few at school, and have decided to try and sell the rest online. Check it out! Also, i'm looking for feedback for future models, so let me know what you think.

[TPR950H]

you need a belt to use this? why not just put the u-lock in the belt?

edit: although $25 bucks aint bad. i like the D ring.

fabric horse.

[stuntastic]

Fabric horse is dumb expensive.

[aak]

I reckon it looks great. Good work Mr. M

[Mr. M]

Thanks aak! I appreciate the compliment

[the Repeater]

I appreciate the simplicity, but you should lose the sewn bits for rivets and snaps, the having to thread your belt through that and the belt loops makes it too finnicky.

Thoughtful, though.

[chris_n]

cool holster, mr. M

I traded my friend for his brooks team pro, I was going to get a black VO seat but he wanted my sweatshirt. Anyway, it's honey colour and I think it just sticks out like a sore thumb. Any recommendations for dying/polishing it really dark? Some people are saying use Kiwi Neutral, and I saw some pics that had good results with Obenaufs. I'd like to hear someone from here if the've done anything similar just so I can ask them about it. And I'm aware that I can make the seat too floppy if I use the wrong stuff. Thanks.

Any of you guys have experience using 25,4mm handlebars on a 26mm stem? Do they sell some sort of adapters for that? Or is it an absolute no-no?

I'd like to try some bullhorns for a while instead of my drops, but the only black ones my bike shop has are 25,4mm..

[lestat]

^ they make shims for that...

yeah im using 25.4 mm drops in a 26mm stem.

some people make a shim out of a soft drink can, but its not ag ood idea.

just drop the $10 on a nitto shim and youll be safe for sure.

[Yardsale]

nice. what frame? like the fork.

nada bike frame. 100 bux. pretty much all my components cost more

at Yardsale

where was that photo taken?

at that stage I was I think around fisherman's wharf. after that I went to baker beach.

[ericdw]

nice, didn't realize nada bikes came with a lugged fork. How did you end up finishing it? clear powdercoat?

[stuntastic]

Yardsale

You mind taking pics of it against a wall? To see how the geo looks.

Also if you don't mind, taking pics of the chainstay, rear drop outs and drop outs on the fork?

For $100, I'd try one out as long as the specs meet up to how they're described on the site.

[primed]

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on my getting a complete fixed gear bike, my location and financial state means i cant order parts in and assemble myself (that and im eager to get back on the bike) so i figured id get a complete fix for now and later on in the year work on building something more personal.

What im thinking of getting is an SE draft: http://www.routeone.co.uk/Store/Action+Sports/Fixed+Wheel+Bikes/product-is-48256

Or a bike from Create: http://www.createbikes.com/

Ive heard alot of bad and some good on the create bikes being bad quality but nothing on the SE bikes. Im after a bike i can commute to and from college and just general riding.

Located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK.

Any help would be appreciated
