Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

haha yeah it's mostly a random parts build for a "beater" rain bike with absolutely no attempt made at swag/style... the tensioner is a broken road derailleur

I got this Arione for free from my boss, which is pretty much a Christmas miracle because he's usually grumpy as hell. Excuse the lack of pedals, I have 4 bikes and only 2 pairs of SPDs...

i'm not sure to be honest.. they came with the 600 derailleur, but i ended up swapping them out because they are noisy. they look cool though and as you mention are indeed sealed bearings

Can you get a close up of the front brake attachment? I'm curious to see the options that exist for forks that don't have drilled crowns.

Thanks man!

Sure, I'll get one a little later. This is a bit of a hybrid of a Dia Compe mounting plate, no-name clamp brackets (on the fork) and a Tektro brake. The full Dia Compe sets are good, although the brakes are a little substandard - you should at least change the pads.

Let me guess, that's Black Sea in the background? Soviet bike, and no snow at this time of the year.

Gotta use something to register to the forums with. I got a good laugh from a friend who was requested to use AIM to talk to some people online.

You can't beat comfort and parts bin goodness. It would've been jackass with the next best alternative in my parts bin, red brifters.
