My Armstrong Moth fixed gear conversion:

looks just right

Thanks. I'm well pleased. Practical (with the mudguards, big grippy Schwalbe 700Cx28 tyres and full brakes, it's perfect for the current Glasgow weather and roads) and yet great fun to ride, it's certainly been holding its own out there for the past month and a bit. I love it.

Cutty, what do you use the Cannondale and the Cinelli for differently? Also, your saddle seems not that much higher than your bars - you like a relaxed position?

i'm still using the cinelli for long, hilly, road races and weekend training rides. i'm using the cannondale for crits, park races, and weekly training rides. i'm using the raleigh to commute and tool around town.

i have a super long torso, so that's the most biomechanically efficient position for me on the road bike. i get my bikes fit to my exact body measurements with the wobblenaught system:

Those risers are much longer than they look there btw

What is it, Ken?

specialized globe.. rides pretty well although just a touch big so i'm worried about my perineum!

the top-tube seems a little...... low slung

They all do these days, Chris, it's the thing.

Move the saddle as far forward as it'll go, Ken? How are the tyres - nice and slick?

could do with some white tyres though i think.

sweet

ooer i like the pic of cutty's one way, i was checking that model out

the 'wobblenaught' site reads like it was written by dr bronner

i'm selling the one-way. too many bikes, too little money.

on one! nice going... i have on one handlebars on both of my bikes; they totally rule.

don't suppose you have Midges do you? thinking about trying them on my cross-check

a mary on each bike (moutain and road, although "road" is still what most people would call mountain). i also have an on one steel fork on the road bike.

tell me why i shouldn't buy these, only a week after buying a different set:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Vittoria_Rubino_Tyre/5360018648/

only £11 each, and i only spent £8 each on the others.

Dude since I sent you that link they have removed the white/white option!!

it's still there for the folding ones - which are twice as much. and have double the thread count, whatever the fuck that is (lol n00b).

higher thread count means that the casing is more supple, which theoretically will make it handle better. theoretically.

currently selling the bike in the first post of this thrd at the moment!

what will you buy with the money? SELLING BIKES TO BUY BIKES!

ha nah I've still got two others atm.

Trying to save as much as possible for a deposit on a house u__u.

I've had two ppl seriously interested. One a retired baby boomer who is into masters rowing (huge cockhuffer)

and this nice kiwi chap who reckons he used to ride elite in NZ 10 or 12 yrs ago. He's coming around this evening to check it out.

nice kiwi chap lol

sold to him for $50 less than what it cost me to put the bike together two yrs ago ^__^

Just purchased for my (classic, understated) fixie:

it's not understated anymore

fancyman's seat

i used to work at a company that compiled a database of the bike industry, and entering "fi'zi:k" was always the biggest pain in the ass. i hate them and always will, regardless of whether or not their products are any good.

that saddle is pretty offensive! what colour is ur frame?

dont know if i'll sell my old l@@k frame. prob won't get much for it, the paint job is pretty fucked. Loved riding this bike back in the day :(

The saddle is pretty offensive - it arrived today. It's a Planet X own-brand fi'zi:k (fuck, Jordan, you're right) rip-off. I had hoped the central stripe was white; it's actually silver. The frame is racing green.

nice build, but do you really ride yr bullhorns way up like that??

yeah they might be a bit high, was just trying it out - i ain't used to this low slung roadie posture.

xpost- that's a pretty good ripoff- i thought it *was* an airone.

the TT bike was a hand-me-down from a teammate. trek's top of the line TT bike from 2004. hobbled it together this week for a stage race with a TT.

the wheels are new edge 1.45 tubulars. 18 spokes in the front, 24 in the rear, DT190 ceramic bearing hubs. the wheelset weighs 1089g. i have schwalbe durano tubulars on there.

it looks like the front wheel hits the downtube

The white glare from the window obscures part of the saddle and makes it look like some super futuristic, super-thin thing.
