Names and faces to bikes

hello .. this is Me (Site Noob)

my current project

i am using this (my first fixed wheel) as my commuter bike, been riding in and around the city for years on a mountain bike and fancied a change...now i am hooked and looking for parts to upgrade!

Love that Peugeot!

Don't you find the handlebar to be too high? after all you did come from an MTB background where bar are usually at the same height or higher than the saddle, took me a couple weeks to get used to the handlebar being noticably lower than my old MTB one.

My new Iro and my first fixie! (I finally found one I could stand over!)

bicycle~ + first post. hi.

Hi, nice!

What's the frame?

Lovely ride.
Good gardening skills.

....non black nipple fail though

It's a "RIH". I don't expect you to know it if you're not from Holland like myself. ;)

Nipples fail? I guess it's about personal taste.

....non black nipple fail though

black nipples are sh!te, it rubs off if and when you have to true them. brass is best.

and nice RIH by the way, blix

Ah, you guys actually know RIH's? :)

I can't seem to edit my post, weird.

Went to the RIH shop in AMS, nice but expensive :)

Ah, cool. The RIH shop is about 50~ meters next to my house. Luckily I got this frame second hand, and the owner didn't know it was a RIH -- so i got it quite cheap. Sadly I can't afford a new one!

Hi Ed,
The first day i thought "shit" i am going to die but you know now i am loving it ... just waiting for me new pedals which are mountain bike cage like with power grips and i will be rocking it proper :-P
might change the cog to a 17t as its a bit fast on the 16 but i am loving it.

@ blix - stop teasing. flip her round so we can see the drive-side!

What would you change? I'm always interested in other peoples opinions. Only thing I would really like to change is the the handlebar. My old track handlebar didn't fit into this stem, so this is a temp. fix.

love the bike, blix.. avatar's pretty good too!

Thanks!
