it was teal because I got it beforehand, and it was teal because I didn't want to wait for one, and dealt with the color. I got it stripped because it was fucking obnoxious, I plan on painting this one black sometime soon.

I just found a panasonic sport bike in my dumpster. Everything is fine except the wheels have gone flat and the frame is chipped. I'll post some pictures tommorow when I find my camera. I'm planning on converting it to fixed gear and this will be my first conversion ever. Hopefully I'll have it done in 2 weeks.

edit: found a picture on the web, its this exact same model and exact color. How hard would it be to convert it to fixed,and whats the are some good cranks, saddles and wheels that would accentuate the bike?

Thanks for the answers! I guess I'll buy them then. Price at a shop near me is $125.

if you still want, i know a guy selling 165 mm sugino 75s with 48t TA Specialties Chainring NJS stamped for 150. almost new

[smiggins]

I am thinking about painting my bike. its an old steel frame and i have already begun the sanding process of the old paint. i'm not sure what to do once its all sanded, what type of base should i use? the bike is going to be some shade of blue or grey, i am not sure what exactly yet but should i use a base coat of white first, and i am going to do it all myself so what type of paint should i use and where would i get it?

thanks

andy, you are 15.

[xxandyarmada]

andy, you are 15.

16, brah.

[xxandyarmada]

but I'd also want a roadie rather than another fixed gear.

but I'd also want a roadie rather than another fixed gear.

so u r 16 years old ???

whats the significance of that strip of tape i see around peoples top tubes?

[mlproject]

to avoid bar dents/damage if you fall. people tend to just put electrical tape a lot of the time which will do nothing

[dino might]

ahhh, makes sense

[djonno]

i wrapped some extra bar tape around mine, and covered that with black electrical tape. seems like it should work, although i have no idea if my bars have hit my top tube hard enough yet when ive crashed....

[mlproject]

the bar tape thang is much better.

so iv been riding a converted bianchi road frame for just over 2 years now, and i think its time for a new frame. i'm sorta looking for something with the geometry of a pista, or kiloTT/flite100 (though id rather the kilo over the flite), as thats fairly close to the way i'v set up my current frame.

Any suggestions? (not looking to spend anymore than 600$, but then again thats just for a frame as i'll be switching all my current components over.)

also- i'v noticed the pista often being described as a "beginner"/ "introductory" fixie, which i find abit odd as i always understood it as being a pretty decent bike, anyone care to explain?

and lastly- i havnt been able to find anywhere to get any of the forementioned frames (besides ebay i guess) that will ship to canada. anyone know??

thanks

[mlproject]

kilo tt and the flite are the same frame and come with pretty much the same stuff nowadays. the spicer frames are also the same as these.

pista is only listed as beginner because of the components. for any better performance, you'd be upgrading parts. for a steel frame, it's burly as fuck.

A recent trip to san diego on some ghetto wheels

[m1sterko]

you dindt go on just one set of tires... did you??

just curious how long tires would last

[chingon]

I didn't ride down there from LA if that's what you are thinking... I took the train, and yes, with one set of tires. I usually only ride around with a multitool, I'm not so into riding around with a bag in the summer, feels too good without it.

[m1sterko]

oooh icc thats cool

damnn cant wait to start ridnig this weeeekend~~

dont use electrical tape or anything close to rubber. ur tubes wont last as long. just buy the velox for 4 bucks its better for your tubes.

[mlproject]

he's talking about doing a top tube ding protector, dumdum.

[chingon]

I think 'burglar is talking about his frame tubing, which is kinda ridiculous to worry about, but whateva.

[chingon]

maybe we're all fucked.

[hamburglar]

o wait im retarded.

i thought i was quoting about rim tape.

[hamburglar]

bar grip and eletrical tape is super. i was on the wheel girl blog on the issue. alone with some picture that i hate. + rep to who ever finds it again
