got some panaracer ribmos and my rear retrued for tomorrows alleycat

 

Good luck!

 

I tried on the sambas, I really fell in love with these as soon as they were on my feet though. I'll probably be getting another pair soon.

 

new pedal setup. mks gr9 pedal, ckc dual gate clips, vp components double straps

 

New ride, Iro Mark V 50cm






A lot better than my old whip (which I also loved) Windsor Hour 52cm

 

this is mine guys...just finished her!

 

you guys need to get rid of the clips and get SPD pedals, way better

 

They are pretty nice. I just don't always feel like carrying an extra pair of shoes or walking around in mtb shoes when I get where I'm going. The stiff bottoms are amazing though...

My current project for the track, just need a record pista chainset but car insurance has wiped me out.

The big LBS had its spring sale on sunday. Went to stock up on tubes and stuff but came home with these:

 

nice
you can feel the power through every stroke when you ride with shoes

 

My current setup minus the seat post. Snapped while landing a bunny hop. Replaced it with a thompson elite.

 

i am not into bike, i just wondered onto this page some how.

is it true ur not cool if u bike has brakes, lol.

 

Unfortunately some douches really do believe in that. If you're not 100% confident that you can stop the bike safely under all conditions without brakes then you absolutely should have them.

 

i was just being a jerk. lol.

but most of those fixed gear bikes, will they brake if u pedal backwards? i see a lot of them with no brake levers.

and those bike messengers be flying

 

Yeah you huck it down pretty fast if you know what your doing. I've been riding fixed about three and a half years and brakeless for about two. you have to shift your weight off of the back wheel and you can slam down/back with your back foot and give a little yank up with your front foot and the wheel will lock up. I tend to do more of a series of skips, seems to be a lot easier on the tire.

 

intresting. my and my brother where talking about building some bmx bikes. maybe ill have to look into fix geared messenger style bikes. trying to make some money.....

 

You just gotta ride one for a couple of weeks and you'll understand the appeal. Once you start to get smooth you'll really feel like you're a part of the machine, its pretty cool.

If you want to build one, just make sure you start out with a track frame. Don't waste your time with conversions.

 

agreed, i wasted my time with 2 shitty conversions. theres nothing like a tight wheel based track frame. the real debate is aluminum or cromo?

 

really depends on what you'll be doing with it. my fuji track pro isn't the most comfortable thing on the streets.

 

Cant beat steel for street riding imo. Rides better and harder to break.

 

ive only owned steel never even ridden on an aluminum frame.

new deda crononero pursuit bars.

 

those look sweet

 

i think polished aluminum would've matched better with all the other stuff you got goin on
