  • Not sure if serious...

    I'm not being serious :)

    This was during the London to Paris ride in 2009, Nike paid for some of the guys to get bikes made. This guy had a new trek built up and was obligated to bring it on the ride. He was the only one not riding fixed.

  • it went for over a grand (1300$) iirc
    but it was a nos, so it's an investment too

    complete?!

  • ^^^^^I remember thinking that looked wwwwicked!

    why would nike pay for them to have bikes made?

  • why would nike pay for them to have bikes made?

    Because the london to paris ride was an even organised by a new york rider who was working for Nike. The riders designed the CTRS Nike FC Shoes and all came together from all over the world, to ride to paris for a livestrong event during the TDF in 2009. Part of the deal was that the riders could get a budget to design/build a bike for the ride.

    SuperTed designed the ones with the green swoosh...

  • ^^ I haz Superted's ones

  • Hal's bike pile in the rain, outside his flat in Shibuya...

    Chromed Kalavinka, Chromed 3Rensho and his King Speed from the London to Paris ride.

    If this is boring, let me know and I'll stop.
    Don't want to upset anyone.

  • pls go on, good ol times.

    the grey ones above were designed by yorgo if i'm remembering right.

    black da hubs are überporn as the colnago carbon pista.

    kalavinka carbon frame are pron too, but only for midgets.

    Thats a pretty sweet deal!

    Do you have any pics of those laced up? I'm tempted.

  • When was the first time you rode a track bike on the street, Andy?

    On the street, end of 2005 - Sans brake, early 2006.

    I don't. I think the one's pictured were for Steve Bryden and I think they were laced to black Araya rims. Will see if I can find a photo over the next couple of days. ;)

    The hardest thing is getting the Dura-Ace plastic rings free without damaging them. Also it's just as difficult to adjust the cone nuts back to factory settings.

    I heard a hairdryer to loosen up the glue works also cone nuts are so satisfying to get right when you've regreased all the bearings, so it's worth it

    There is no glue, it's a snap fit :)
