NICE!

Shopping for a rear tire, any recommendations. I am considering the gatorskins, any other good ones out there?

Finally got some wheels built up that I really like. Not a real lighweight build, but they ride really nice and climb well too. Dura Ace + Open Pros +CX-Rays

Picking up my fixie today. Was buying it because my gf has a old school one. Was planning on buying this and riding with her, then building her another one since hers is a little too big. I'll post pics up when I get it :D.

I remember seeing a fully polished fg forever ago. I'm pretty sure it was on H-T. Anyone got a pic of it?

Definitely, they all hang out at either Keirin Cycles or PS114(hipster club).

Most of the races they have end at PS114, but I'd never hang out there. I'd do a race but never chill there I'd leave to hang out somewhere else.

By the way moto, that panasonic is the bomb diggity.

I would love to get one of those frames from you in that calypso blue color.

Thanks Pat. That is my non-rainy day commuter. Got a Crosscheck with gears/fenders for rainy days.

Smashed on that **** today! First day on it, rode about 10miles. Sore as hell, but was a great ride. I didn't want to get off of it, but I don't think my out of shape body wanted to go anymore.
