Bike porn

953 whatever it is... expensive for sure

i don't think so, almost rusted and the seat stays brazing very easy...

@ TokyoFixedGear - Saw that bike in the window, fucking drool worthy, well done. Tune stuff is just... in a whole category of its own.

Perfect.

that look looks familair, did it come from NL?

i was referring to a rather nice Look bike posted above, but is now missing

I don't know where the picture's gone (maybe it's just my browser playing up) but it's Pistoffski from this forum's Look.

It belongs to re-cycled... Damn perfect bike.

The problem with the Gitane, is that you need to see it in different preceptive to appreciate it.

exactly! I ride a Gitane track every day and they are lovely..

Thanks

Nice! reminds me of this tho:

the colours are great

I love the fact that the handlebar have a bar end plug despite the fact it has no grip.

no grip = fail.

agreed

FINALLY I finished changing the bike to the way I want it;

here´s the original plan;

obviously the big difference is the handlebar which I opt for a more comfortable one for city riding.

Hah!! well remembered sir, you deserve some rep for that.

Ha, Gold^

although this is strictly not bike porn, but it's an adaptor that allowed a geared hubs to be converted as a fixed wheel hubs;

Kimori’s fixed gear adapter is designed to turn an existing cassette hub into a fixed gear hub. Sure, it’s a bit of a niche product in that most people would just as soon buy or build a new wheel before converting an existing one, but say you’ve got something like a sweet old 9-speed Dura Ace rear wheel just laying around? This could be just the thing for you. And because the cassette body can accommodate several cogs, it opens the door to other options, as well.
fantastic news bringing us an even larger choice of hubs to be used as fixed, as well as reusing old wheelset without needing to change the hubs. I feel it's good news for those who play polo and usually tend to keep a budget as well as needing a smaller cog to cycle home to.

never understand those things, howcome the whole body doesnot come lose with one skid?

they don't thread on... there's a socket they fit on, and then a bolt (which the axel fits through) holds it there.

i kindo like the idea, it stiil reminds me of this
the next issue is the chainline, 2 of 3 cogs will rattle like the snakes tail.

I like that it provides plenty of chainline adjustment, unlike the Surly Fixxer.

Not really, just use 3/32" and use a multispeed chain..

not really, it mean you get to use the double (even triple) chainring to compensate.

Don't suppose there's anything stopping you threading a freewheel and a fixed cog on to that next to each other. That'd make for easy changes!

it sound rather doable, but what about the lockring part? I mean is it fine to 'squash' the cap that hold the freewheel bearing in with the other cog once tightened almightly?
