Bought the Selle Italia Flite saddle.

Front brake should be here Friday, bike on Monday.

I couldn't find the fixie for sale thread, but anyways, here's a good intro bike FS. 53 cm Iro, Celeste deep V's,Nitto stem and b123 flipped and chopped, MKS pedals, Fizik Aliante seat. I want $725 obo plus shipping. It's in excellent condition and just sits in my messy room, because I have no time to ride it. Trying to raise money to get to Expo8!!!

 

very color coordinated

 

That's the color combo I wanted to go with! Wheels and bar tape... I guess it's bc I fell in love with the colors on the Bianchis. Nice bike man.

I got my Nishiki all done today, just got back from a WONDERFUL 3mi ride super late after I got done putting it all together. Gearing is way too short, gunna get a bigger front sprocket tomorrow. Tons of fun though!

Whats the gearing?
Mine feels too tall (48x16).

 

36x14... haha, it's all I had lying around. Plan is to step up to a Surly 16 and a 39 up front.

 

Front brake came in today but with no instructions. I can't find a good write-up for the brake cable installation that has similar pictures either.

That would be stepping down...similar gearing to a 36 X 14 using a 16 in the rear would be 42 X 16. Similar gearing to a 39 X 16 using a 14 rear would be around 33 X 14.
Not 100% accurate but close enough rule of thumb is a change of 1 in the rear is roughly 3 up front.
If you want to "step up" using a 16 in the rear, get something bigger than a 42 up front.

Great info! May I ask why you would say to step down? Right now it accelerates well, but I realllly have to spin to keep any amount of speed. It's too short right now. I'm really open for opinions, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. But it's a LOT of fun!
