my build for getting around beijing

[saintkeat]

Ok so here's the thing. My frame feels really heavy since its steel not chromoly. I can live with the parts for now, but in time to come I plan on changing the crank, seat and seat post, rims and spokes, and stem.

i'm just wondering in which order should i go. the existing parts i could live with, i thought the biggest change i would feel would be the frame.

[knucks]

Anyone need some parts? I got some Deep V's (black, machined) laced to formula hubs, I think. I'd have to check.

Got some riser bars, a Ritchey drop bar (oversize), a stem that I think is also Ritchey

MKS Track pedals w some rusty MKS clips, one pedal is missing dustcap.

Got some pretty cheap, light, nice road wheels that haven't seen much riding. I think stock from a Trek or something.

Shimano 105 crankset and some other stuff..

Looking to sell shit for cheap.

[baldy]

you should prolly do frame and crank at the same time. it will be easier instead of swapping cranks from frame to frame. i hate fuking with bb's

[knucks]

i mean, that's your opinion, some people just want frames.

but yes, frames are for sale as well, didn't think anyojne wanted to deal with shipping, though.

Sick rims. I always wondered whether these "track" rims would be alright for normal commuting?

I think the term for these bikes are tarckies right?

No brakes or toe clips? how do you stop?

[jl.1212]

Yeah, Tigerprawn pretty much said it. The SE Draft uses hi-ten steel which isn't great or anything. But you get what you pay for when it comes to steel tubing.

Here's mine

or just get a pair of tyre liners (?) probably cheaper than a whole new set of wheels

I'm going to be throwing some money at them in the next few weeks too... can't wait to start riding again

[burgeoise]

I've been really lazy and sore from training these past few weeks so I haven't had time to go out and ride. Finally did late last week - felt great.

That gorgeous bike is marred by the stupid shit stuck in your rear spokes.

[wayoutwest]

going to be staying in midtown manhattan in a couple of weeks, anyone know of a good place to rent a bicycle?
