Bicyclettes

[aydo1]

yeah definately.

i've ridden the shit out of my formulas before i sold them..

then i bought a rear wheel from prowheelbuilder with the surly fixed/fixed.

i don't know if it's that "i payed $50 to get into disneyland so i'm gonna be happy no matter what" feeling..

but i do notice a smoother, solid, quiet, safe feeling ride - off curbs and everything.

i found this frame outside my work about 2 months ago.

it's poorly painted in black and white and some shitty decal which is just printed paper with tape over it.

can someone identify?

Is it Light???

[zelah]

its not a Light, i think its a Kaufman

[kenthenoob]

well in terms of weight, it's really light.

Might be a frame that made in Zonal by Columbus....check if they have cracks on the weld and migh as well build a SS or FG for the sake of it.

What kind of bars are these? Are these just regular anodized nitto drops flipped and chopped?

[aydo1]

nitto b123s

nitto X barney:D

[doczein]

what width handlebars is everyone running? my drops are 42 cm, but i'm looking real hard at some anodized nitto b123s that i can flip and chop, but they're only available in 36,38, and 39. i might go for the 38 since it's the median point but i don't know how drastic of a difference it would be from 42cm.

[kenthenoob]

grab a ruler

my pursuits are 42. kind of wide, but it's not bad.

36cm. Personally I like smaller because it's easier to go around heavy traffic without worrying about your bars hitting homeboys side mirrors.

[mlproject]

my risers are cut to 36 for traffic and my bullhorns are 40.

[zelah]

get a friend and measure the width between your shoulder blades.

36 bars ain't gonna do shit if you've got a big bag or wide shoulders/body

[mlproject]

^ true story.

my shoulders measure about 42 cm across so i know my bars aren't bigger. i also find the narrower ones more comfortable. to each his own.

but you can turn you body in a pinch but if you turn your bars you turn in to a bus or car.

36 is really skinny though

I've never worked with Phil Wood hubs but (http://www.philwood.com/ptechmanual.htm), from this picture it looks to be just cracking the locknuts off and whipping out the axle and the cartridge bearings.

On an ordinary hub, take all lockrings and sprockets off. Use cone spanners if you can as they're slim and give the best grip. You'll need a pair. Hold the locknut on one side with one spanner and the inner bolt with the other. Unscrew and then repeat on the other side.

Be careful not to crush the bearings when you reassemble. Take it easy and keep checking for play as you lock things down. Remember that the locknuts will pull everything even tighter so leave a little play with the first bolts.

It is worth pointing out that Phil Wood often uses proprietary tools, so you might need special spanners, etc.

Shout if that ain't clear.

does anyone on here have a brooklyn machine works Gangsta?

[fix.]

does anyone on here have a brooklyn machine works Gangsta?

I don't see why someone would... the concept of that bike seems rather silly.

But, I'm selling my deep V's. anyone want to buy them before I'm forced to go to ebay?

black, non machined, 3x back, radial front, like 30 miles on them.

No, but I've ridden one. It's a really fun bike but BMW designing this bike to do barspins with 700cc wheels is beyond me. It's a real heavy frameset with a straight fork and slanted TT makes this shit so BMX, it kinda rules.

How much do you want for them?

[fix.]

I was thinking somewhere around $200 shipped. Throw me an offer.
