Ss.01

Hello from Portugal.

I've been arround reading and learning from all of you.
I want to share with you one of the bikes that i "made".

I ride since 4 years old. My first bike was a BMX 16".
At 9 my grandpa gave me a SS 27" with mudguards and a rear rack and was my daily bike to school and rides till 20 when some suckers stole it from a city parking. I use to do some crazy MTB with her in early 90's. In 98 i bought a real MTB: a Sunn Xircuit, i still ride her to the limit actualy. She's repainted and renewed... but i was missing that SS! In Portugal we call it "saudade"!

I put hands to work I bought a cheap road bike from a nacional constructor and i dismounted her, repainted her and rebuild her with some new components and others recovered.

I hope you enjoy the SS01. By now with coaster brake and with 52x18T.

I am using her to go to work and for daily stuffs, though not ideal but before i start with the new road bike project (R.UN01) i also use her to training when i can't go to forest and mountain tracks on MTB.

I will soon present you my R.UN01, she will be a Columbus all black road bike made by my alterego COXE

You can see some things i'm doing on my blog with bikes: http://www.vermelhossangue.blogspot.pt/search/label/bikes

The R.UN01 changed the name! She is RR01 and it´s allready on the road!
I´ll show her on the right topic...

nice bike man.

coaster brake with drops bars seems incongruous to me, but that may be just me.

11 months ago?

11 months... that's the way! I get the components slowly month by month. The budget was low... LoL
