Is it size 49?

[Zig_Zagidy]

^yeps 49 im pretty short...

[TPR950H]

That's a lot of post showing for a 49. When does the top tube stop sloping? 51? I'd have gotten that.

Went on a bike ride for the first time in almost 2 months...

I was totally sprung on that Cinelli Rapha stainless number when I thought it had ISP; but it's a high cost and long lead (if you can even believe what's stated...) for ultimately something a bit dated, simply for some esoteric steel.

An incredibly light steel bike does sound like a pipe-dream for Joe-racer, though.

I just tried on a new pair of Bont's and unfortunately they won't fit, seems they can't get sizing consistent no matter what ! What a well made shoe though... light, stiff, fantastically formed upper and durable materials. Sooooo sad....

[tylortakahisa]

can't you get them heat molded for the perfect fit?

[the Repeater]

Too big.

Their sizing is inconsistent since they started making bike shoes, though I don't know why. The shop I bought them from is sold out of other sizes. The last is really, really good. I can't comment on fit or volume since the ones I got in the "correct" size are a size too big.

I won't call it a build again because I wouldn't want to make Tom mad, but I switched my bike up quite a bit this Spring. Basically, after riding the same bike for 3+ years you start to get tired of it. So each year I buy new parts to keep me stoked and to keep from wanting a new bike. This year, I turned my IRO group buy frame into a townie bike. It’s still missing a rack, but soon enough. It’s been a lot more fun to ride and is way more practical in its current setup. Today I rode around my neighborhood in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and took a few flicks with the point & shoot.

For comparison, a picture taken last Spring.

bummer, bike shoe sizing can be weird, you might wanna check bonktown, they have bont shoes every once in a while

they have a pretty good return policy too if they don't fit

[GiZMO]

I was just about to ask if your bike was the dolphins themes groupbuy. I remember seeing that shit and got me hyped. One of my bikes was once ravens/Vikings/lakers colored.

[wild style]

Haha word, same bike. Its just grown up a bit that's all.

looks good! i have somewhat similar bars on my iro, but they don't swoop back as far. same saddle too

i'll try to post a pic after work

[wild style]

Thanks homie. IRO's are the shit. Don't know why I waited so long to get a Brooks. Feels so good.

[stuntastic]

Are you running it fixed or freewheelin' it?

Been meaning to put together my Pista again for the same purposes... But I'm lazy :\

[the Repeater]

Box rims on that bike would be livin easy.

Coasting, with what might be the loudest freewheel ever. So rad being able to bunny hop over shit and especially fun flying past fixed geared friends going downhill.

May flip the wheel back around when I finish up my ss mtb, but I'm enjoying it as is for now.

Indeed. I've been keeping my eyes peeled. If a used set pops up for the right price, it'll be hard to pass up. But for now, these function just fine, albeit a little heavy, but they have proven themselves to be pretty bombproof. I had considered polishing them, but fuck that.

new bars finally came in

crappy pic, but you get the idea

kinda wanna change out the grips and wrap the bars... but i'm lazy. my co-worker was going to give me some new pedals too. i still need to get some proofide for the saddle

[wild style]

Good shit. Those bars look mad comfortable.

[TPR950H]

yeah those ourys look outta place on both bikes. could definitely look cooler with different grips. now i want a fucking track converted townie.

BAM (not mine):

[jayrock]

^

nice, i def need to wrap my bars like that

[the Repeater]

Pick up some Handlebra.

Just bought the industrial machine the lady that makes it was using from her! She also works with Bedford bikes ($$$ custom) and the new leather they are using is super, super durable and strong.

[wild style]

That Bob Jackson gave me a boner.

[40ozprophet]

I have an unreasonable hatred for that campy record crank.

[TPR950H]

the old shield logo version is better but whats to hate?

hottest crank evAR.

[knucks]

ourys are nice looking grips, but they get sticky and annoying as shit.

[f50fan]

H+ son rim production

[lestat]

getting warm... time for some elbow grease and simichrome polish

[Guest SiKEEE]

I kind of overestimated the durability of my tires && I totally skidded right through it after a couple hills....

I was wondering if you guys can recommend any good durable tires. Under $35 would be awesome, I'm a poor college student LOL

[dovo]

^^^ vittoria randonneurs are around $25-$30 depending on where you get them. Theyre really good for the price.
