It certainly is.

You think you like it now, wait until it's assembled correctly...

Thanks! It will be an all round bumming around town bike. I work less than a mile from home so that's not much of a "commute".. Thanks for the heads about the QR. I'm learning on the fly here!

Teknomage

Glad I posted on here I would never have noticed that.

Hey, whose to say you have to go right to work ! Take the long way and stop for coffee. I am a bike commuter myself, work isn't so far away as well. I never go right there first...

Wrong. It is aero, that is why the brakes are behind the fork. It also has a shorter rake fork for more track feel. Get with the times man!

The KHS flite 100 again. Still have to cut the steering tube but new bars + Stem (deda pursuits/Cinelli Mash Stem) and cranks (sugino RD2). Need some end caps and bar tape as well. TenSpeed are you from east lansing? saw the pic of your felt on the red cedar river a few pages back.

Actually, it looks like the whole front end needs to fixed on that Kent...the brake cables are going over top of the handlebars.

Teknomage - you're going to need to fix that or find someone to fix it for you. I don't think I'd ride that in it's current standing.

My SS beater/townie. I'm slowly putting this together with nicer parts...when I find a nicer frame popup locally, I'll probably replace it and move the nicer parts over to the new bike. Added the basket a few weeks ago, put the tires and brooks on today. The brooks seems to be pointing at the sky, but when I level it out, I feel like I'm sliding off the front. I'm sure I still have some dialing-in to do.

moar stickers!

TenSpeedV2

I am. Let me know if you want to ride if you live in town.

Mumonkan

the way i do a brooks is imagine the wide back section as the part to level out and ignore where the nose points, then you should be golden.

it makes like an ass hammock when set up right, youre more "in" the saddle than on it

looks fine to me

also +1 moar stickers. i think i should start doing this to my beater

SpeshulEd 

Yes!

What basket is that on the front? I've been looking for something like that to carry light loads and doesn't require me to bolt it to the fork in some way.
P.S. like the neon green

SpeshulEd 

Basket is the Portland Design Works Takeout Basket. Someone else posted a photo of their bike with it and I bought it a week later, haha. It's a great little basket.

mcunning75

Updated and now complete. Rides great. Having a blast.

SquidPuppet

I really like the basket, but are my eyes playing tricks on me? Or have you not finished the basket instal? I don't see any supports. Or is there a stealth bracket?

Scrodzilla

That basket attaches to the bars using very sturdy clamps. No real need for a lower support:

Euthyphro

Now with Pasela PTs.

SpeshulEd 

Yep, and it's not that big of a basket that you would carry something too heavy for the supports. Perfect for a six pack! Actually, the most I've used it has been for leftovers.

hardboiled718

Thanks for the info, been hesitant to put a rack or anything on my bike but more frequently I've been finding myself out and about without a bag and needing to run errands or pick up stuff. If it can hold a 6 pack, I'm sold

PDW makes good stuff.

Hello. First post on the forum. Here is my Wabi Classic that I am currently riding. I've had the bicycle for a couple months and I am really enjoying it so far.
