Looks smart, hows it ride?
Something about those levers looks odd with that frame though.
It's lovely to ride but then the frame always was. I do love the silence of it though, my previous fixed bike always seem to have something squeaking or creaking.

I'm not sure on the bars or levers too - think I might get some bullhorns and try them.

+2. People's own bike porn should be in a new thread called "Readers' Rides".

There was a bike here. It was apparantly too horrible to bare. Apologies.

This is nice. Shellac bars, now, do i go with this for my pomp or drops done in the same fashion? Choices, choices.

I'd feel a bit of a fraud putting his images on my flickr page, sorry.

Shellac?? I know of that only from mold-making. It's a good release agent for casting with wax into modroc molds, or anything involving a plaster mold actually. I guess it works as a sealing agent for cork handlebar tape too?

It's making a comeback. Type shellac + Bar or handlebar in to flickr and it comes up with all sorts. Mega!

Smells like methylated spirits in a REALLY bad way though. The casting workshop at uni is permanently tainted by its smell.

You have 30 seconds to put some damned gears on that before I buy a plane ticket and bad things happen. That bike would piss class in it's intended state.
