That’s some clean brazing by the dropout

I just need to accept that the reach is slightly too long to comfortably brake from the hoods! A shorter stem and some BDHU will likely rectify the issue.
@MisterMikkel – I'm going to pinch the front wheel from my All-City for some Bike Time Spook Zone sessions.

Stripping cranks (and brake levers?) would really be over the top and suit it quite nice imo. Effort vs. gain might be totally off balance though.

I think actually the black makes the frame pop more. I would like to get cranks re ano in all black but it is a winter ride so who cares. Seat post is getting swapped for all black again at some point. Just need the bike part rotation scheme to add up.
Silver/gold ratio isn't working for me currently.

Surprised to see that in here! That was my dream bike, and I bought it off someone on here way back in about 2012, sold it in 2017 (I think) and haven't forgiven myself yet.

Good points. I think the exposure makes the paint job appear darker than irl.

How do you get the nice filmmatic look to you digital photos?

Adobe Lightroom for my phone. I use a Samsung Galaxy s21 and the play with curves and exposure.

I've not seen that pic in years! I used to get a hard on for that, even the big fuck off stem looked right.

From the time machine, here’s a link to a gallery of fixed bikes from the 2007 PBP. Originally posted to FGG back then. I book marked it back then and still check it out on occasion.

Fun fact: the Roy Thame in the last photo belongs to the keyboard player from Jethro Tull

Agreed. The Potts and Chester are both really good, but I could do with different bars on the Chester.
There are a few gems in the bunch.

This just arrived. In parts-bin mode at the moment but excited to get it dialled, stick some mudguards on and see what it can do.

Looks like you have a decent base to start from... I've had a respect for Schwinn bicycles owning a 2001 predator trail bmx from new. Still being ridden by my niece in her teenage years. A few years back I re commission it as a commuter in the snow not wanting to dump my track bike on some ice....
I'm liking the fork details and hood/bar placement. Currently considering buying dummy hoods or adding brakes but I'm stuck in my brakeless wayzzz
Have fun with the build!

I'd change the headset spacers for silver ones, add some (longer) mud flaps and maybe a little bit of BDHU? Otherwise very nice! :-)
Nope nope nope! I got tired of waiting for my velosolo cog to arrive so made one myself from a screw on cog
