And if you *really* want to be pedantic, the valves on the wheels should be at the bottom. That can be a bitch to setup on a fixed-gear bike too, both the rear valve and cranks. I am shitting you. It's a lovely bike. I do begrudgingly like the Condors, and that is a fine example too. | |

 | by the way should call them either "cranks" or "arms" not "crank arms" it's like "fat lard"... velocity boy that looks like a single speed to me. i'll try to be really pedantic when i swap my gears out of 48/18 (damn all that talking i still haven't a decent picture of myself & my bikes)... mouse, poor you, showing us your nice bike and getting these comments... :P |

 | You been reading Sheldon? "Crank: The arm which connects the pedal to the bottom bracket axle. Sometimes called a "crank arm", but this is redundant and inelegant. Call it a crank, or call it an arm, but please don't call it a "crank arm"" http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_cn-z.html#crank I'll call 'em crankarms so you know it's inelegant me and not Sheldon's alter ego.. |

 |  No beard or bins, but you get the idea.  The vandalised RB1 that I don't ride so much anymore... (check those unscuffed Sidis!)  The black Gitane behind Josh when I am riding the track....  This is the touring bike (after a 1400 k tour in France)  And I got this seriously beat-up Cooper road bike (no, I didn't put those cups or that can in there myself). And a Merckx Corsa to build. Oooh look at me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. |
