the thing that bothers me about the bike is he needs to take a link out of his chain.

 

pull the back wheel in tight

 

grips on. check

 

just got some parts in, but if anyone needs any of them PM me :D

isn't that just the BIN? not a reserve?

and yea..1800+ for the BIN is ludicrous!

 

woohoo, I finally get to post a bike after reading this thread for the last few (5) months!

Picked up a Panasonic 1000, 12 Speed. Just a basic rear wheel, can't remember off the top of my head.

Currently have the Alex front wheel off of my Fuji Ace at the moment with Amarillo tire.

Has anyone got any experience of the rear tyre I am using?

Looking for a new front wheel, without quick release?

Then re-painting it as there are a lot of scratches, or wrapping it.

I guess you could say I am jumping on the bandwagon, but its fun and I enjoyed riding my friends bikes alot.



Big thanks to Nathanong 87 who has been helping out alot

haha, yeah it is, it's downstairs and I am too lazy to get up. About to start polishing parts etc, then searching ebay to spend my money

 

edit from...nashbar.com

http://www.nashbar.com/profile...0x28c

they were onsale a while back in which i bought two =P

 

cool I just paid 19.99 for one. How did you like it? I haven't got to use it yet as I still need to pick up a chain tool.

On ebay, it seems as though all the wheels are sold as pairs, where as at the moment I only need a front?

i paid something around that price for each tire as well.

You can use any road going wheel at 700c to my knowledge as the front wheel of a 700c road frame and 700c track frame are 100mm spaced. (i believe)

 

basically all i have is two frames. sitting there waiting for parts.
so i need cranks, BB, wheelset, stems, threaded headsets, the works.

anyone want to contribute?
i get paid on friday. soooo who wants to see me riding fixed?

I've been out of the road bike game for a hella long time..my last and current bike is a Raleigh Technium Tri-Lite(get my point?). I want to upgrade it and start riding it again what is a good online store for bike parts. I did a lot of google searching but I didn't come up with many. The local bike shops are rips offs I'm thinking about throwing some mags on it. I use to bend spokes left and right.

 

mags? wtf?

just get someone to build you some good wheels... bending spokes?? uhh.

 

yeah back then one unavoidable pothole and I'm fawked. yeah I don't know what the cool factor is on mags are now I'm out of the loop...some good strong spokes may be the key..homework&gt;me

 

yeah SkyeC is right, you just need some nicer wheels.

 

after months of research i finally picked up my civic of fixies.
a 08 bianchi pista.

I bought an 07 Gang Green Pista about 6 months ago and now I'm wishing I had held out for the 08. That new bluish-metalic color is sooooo nice. Congrats!

 

Finally swapped out to a track frame that fits me

First fixed gear (BS Eurasia conversion):

New ride:

 

nice peloton, what components?
