New Ride - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

joelounge · 13th August 2008

Just wanted to stick up some pics of my new commuter, got the frame of italian bay for £80. got the rims from the states and most of the other bits were second hand. I wanted to get another Moser to go with the lopro (sick of worrying about it at work) really pleased with how it rides, got some yellow strapes to add that i grabbed from Track star yesterday..

thanks to Alex and the guys at Cavendish for help and building...

i like this conversion a lot. apart from the pink outer, which is disturbing but i can't quite work out why.

Ved · 13th August 2008

Lethal ride there. Really nice frame, that's a score IMO.

pete · 13th August 2008

yeh.. bin the pink cable and you have a winner

Archi Pelago · 13th August 2008

I used to have one just like that, the toaster that is.

hippy · 13th August 2008

Nice. ('cept the pink)
I used a texta to colour over the white text on my black calipers.
I'd lose the stickers on the rims too.

joelounge · 13th August 2008

yeah will lose the stickers on the wheels when i change the straps this weekend. thanks

Brink the cable to a closer color to the decals and it would work. its a little peach and light.

oh You are running low on eggs also

looks excellent.

joelounge · 13th August 2008

thanks every one!
Thae cable is actually neon 80"s cable. it doesn't really show in the picture in the flesh it looks quite good. Wanted to build it quite cheaply so used all the bits i had kicking around in the kitchen!!

thanks for the shopping lowdown!!

It can't be very convenient keeping stuff on top of your chopping board like that? Nice bike by the way.

asm · 14th August 2008

I think the pink works a treat.

:)

Hey, i noticed your lo-pro plus white spinergy in cavendish yesterday. Is that thing for sale/sold? I'd have loved the spinergy...

joelounge · 14th August 2008

no not for sale unless the price is right of course!!!

just been in having a quick service and a couple of moser parts fitted that i got from eastern europe!!

asm · 14th August 2008

It's cool how cavendish keep their serviced bikes out on the shop floor.. some interesting machines in there at the moment, not least of all the moser! :)
