why the fuck is this thing rated so high??

Pictures taken outside is a plus, no washing machine or dog bowels in sight. Good looking bike with only a couple of labels that should be removed. Nice lite weight fixie with matching tyres for the mature taste and would go well with my gray hair. It has a front brake/ Good Move!

The Chain Wheel is a thing of Beauty. the blue color is Kool as well the wheels match! no cards in the spokes and it is the color of an Iceberg. Decent!

too*

wow uhh…. awkward. the chainring is actually….. a 53t campy brev. int and so are the crank arms. idk what campy brev int actually is though.

luftmensh, i know deep v’s are very cliched, it’s a shame, i trying to get some money to buy a Mavic Cosmic Pro rim.
Second, i changed some more parts. i’m using some Cinelli Tempo bars along with a Cinelli Alter stem.

it was a vintage cinelli milano stem 130mm. i switch off my bars for a different feeling once in a while.

These classic road frames really inspire me to do conversions. I’m excited for the first ride of my Raleigh conversion project. It’ll probably be 52-17, which I hope won’t be too murderous to try on the crazy hills in my area.

nice clean look.insane gears!good luck.

52-17 was great for speed and decent for the hills but not my type of gear. I changed it to 52-13 when I stole the 17 back from the SGP. I don’t know how many gear inches that is but I know its top speed is in the 35MPH+ range. For me 42-17 is just fine. Spinning doesn’t bother me a bit. Cheers.

52/13 = 105.24 inches Luftie. Done my best 25 tt on that kind of gear.1hr 10mins. My bro started a min after me and went past after 15 miles. Bastard!!! I used to kick his arse on the hill climb though. Ha,ha. Wouldn’t want to touch it these days. You must have thighs of iron mate.

Nice shot!! Guys, come on, I didn’t say I rode it with 52-13. With the hills around here and no brake it’d be suicide during the day. Hell, now I wanna try it at night. I’ll see if I can mash it up to 55 and get a speeding ticket. But, in my defense, even with 42-17, the hills are mountainous around here and I’m getting pretty built.

Alan, that’s funny, I kick my brother’s A on the hills, too. He’ll blow past me with his 46-15, then at the bottom of the hill I’ll catch up spinning like a fiend, and smoke him standing climbing up the hill. Cheers.

scary/funny story – In irvine, there’s this huge hill called Ridgeline. its about 3/4 mile high and a mile long and is feared by most fixed gears and even some single speeds. Me, ramzy, dante, anthony, quailian and isiaih went down it. 53/16 helped me A LOT. i blew past all of them and went down, fearless. i was spinning madly and going the same pace as the cars which i dont know how fast it was but im guessing +35mph. i had my head down and down on my pursuits. i looked up and a gust of wind just evaporated all the water on my eyes and i started to tear. then, i felt my shoe tightening. i looked back down and saw my shoelace wrap around the spindle of my pedal. i thought i was going to crash, but since my shoelace was fraying on one section of the lace it broke. I finished ridgeline, tearing and with half a shoelace. best ride i had. hope to go again and record it with my camera.

i went for a short night ride around the cul de sac once. in sweats. i came home in rags.

top ten for 14 minutes.congrates

I agree with Sloman, change is hard and I liked this issue before the sex change and name change. Old friends are good and hard to say good bye to. Serve Cold was Hot. Breath of Ice gives me the chills.

mmmm, not my taste

re:Leader735tt.It’s true,it’s true’assholes can talk-but their still assholes.not that theres anything wrong with that.

@Leader735tt…Maybe you’re not Kamel….Just found your bike. Do you know Kamel? Are you two related? He was an idiot. You sound a lot like him. And you both ride Leaders. Weird. Good luck with your attempts at insulting people. It’s amusing and sad…then amusing again.

nice build..i like this one. clean and simple..nothing outrageous. it will look better with the mav cosmic pros, but until then your still riding a nice one!
