Not finished yet but this is what I am building for my girlfriend. (Damned parker international sent the last batch of components slow rather than the fast mail I asked for).
― Ed, Sunday, 22 June 2008 12:23 (sixteen years ago) link
can i be your gf too???
― Super Cub, Sunday, 22 June 2008 18:57 (sixteen years ago) link
i found a specialized hybrid frameset only on craigslist for $20 that ive made into a racked flatbar commuter for missus. $20! sure its vintage 1994 with lots of paint chips and scuffs, but its in good shape otherwise.
so i transferred over my old commuter's bits, along with some drivetrain refurbs. it does not, however, feature powdercoated yellow semi deep section wheels. werent those on yr merckx?
― Hunt3r, Sunday, 22 June 2008 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Girlfriend slot already taken, I am prepared to consider concubines, though.
Wheels were on the Merckx which has had Xero XCR-1s for a while now. I did a bearing overhaul on them which should keep them going for a good while and if not it gives me a good idea of what to buy her for Xmas. (I am so happy that I have managed to persuade her to go from not cycled since childhood to happily trundling through the streets of brooklyn wanting a lighter, faster bike)

Finally replaced my stolen bike. Only going to be in Oxford/UK for another 12 months so just wanted something cheap to get around, hence this bad boy, which was £45.

Yes friends, that is real rust on the bar ends. And if you think the chainring looks a little green, that's because it's covered in mould. Rides pretty well considering!

Do you ever get the urge to yell "OGRE SMASH" while riding it? I would.

I don't have a bike to post but I needed to tell everyone that I keep thinking this thread is What do your balls look like? which is horrifying.

Hi Wutexas! Do you want a bike? What's your biking history? c'mon, spill the sordid biking revelations!
― Mark C, Wednesday, 23 July 2008 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link
dan, I have only had it for two days, but the too high seat position does make me feel both powerful like an OGRE, while at the same time hurting my junk.
