Woohoo New SS
Woohoo. X10!!
Got me a new SS delivered today, thanks to Dave H for building it for me... Project plan was to find old parts and arrange to build up an SS. Turns out a bought a 2nd hand track frame from my former LBS, wheels from ebay, and swag of parts from Probikekit. So basically I have a really noice indulgent SS. Inspired by many of the bikes in fixedgeargallery I also have a spare set of wheels which a can use if I want to go fixed. (not yet game, (flame suit on)) I don't want to know how much it cost me, those $$ certainly add up. Looking forward to my first real ride :-). Dave A By the way I'm running 49/18 ~75ish inches Pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/69205084@N00/ |

Looking forward to my first real ride :-). Pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/69205084@N00/ Very nice. Is that fresh paint? It looks pristine. Those cranks look like mine (Sugino Super Mighty, which are Campy Record copies). Put the fixed wheel on you big girl. You'll never go back! I stopped trying to coast in two days, tried to stop pedalling to bunny hop once in the first week (you won't do that twice) and am almost cornering without fear of pedal strike. I've gone from 42/16 to 44/16, and I reckon 49/18 is closer to 73 than 75 (http://sheldonbrown.com/gears/ makes it easy) Andrew. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8594220...n/photostream/ --For mine. |

Didn't make a lot of difference, since I don't ride the mtb much anyway BTW PH, I've got a new one for the next FR - a newborn, so to speak. -- Nick |
