    Thanx dude! I know...

    Got the shipping costs today. Not to bad actually. But I sent them a mail that I did'nt want to buy it because of rumours of very bad quality. Let's see what they reply...

    Thanx but it's not metallic grey it's black powder coat...

  • Done some work today...

    New BB mounted...

    Cut the bar...

    Cleaned up the original fork, mounted a new headset. An old Cinelli stem and put the shortened Cinelli bar on there upside down...

    Waiting for wheels...

    Pretty cool for a "first-timer" 'ay..?

  • Hey you do know youll dry out your propanol by leaving the cap off? - hehee

    That frame looks pretty sweet, when you said motebecane I thought itd be more like an old town/dutch style bike!

    Nice subtle quality details on that frame, neat welds and cool seat clamp etc. I also like bikes with a long head tube for some reason.

    Sports labels (saddle & decals) are not really my thing, but looks pretty cool none the less.
    I may be visiting a friend in Drammen in a couple weeks, pop to Oslo too. IS there much of a Norwegian fixie 'scene' going on?

  • The fixie thing in Norway is just starting. I have'nt seen any so far. But "the right people" talk about it now...

    Yes I know the propanol will dry out... :-)

    The reason why there's stickers and graphix on my shit is the fact that I work as a signmaker. Since I have all the vinyl and all the machines I just have to! I think stickers all the time man...

    visit one of my shops www.extremedesign.no

  • As some of you guys might have seen, I did not use the long Cinelli stem.
    It was way too long when I mounted it on there. To bad I did'nt get the shorter one...

  • its nice, i like it, but PLEASE LEVEL YOUR SADDLE.

  • its nice, i like it, but PLEASE LEVEL YOUR SADDLE.

    why? I find that if there is a large decline between saddle and bars, a downward sloping saddle is more comfy...
