Heres my new ride - The infamous "Walmart Special" - Debaged, new pedals, brake levers (bent in shipping), and oury grips. And the saddle off my road bike (good excuse to buy a new one for the roadie)

bought it exactly like this. looking into new saddle.
also, its a flip flop, and i dont run it fixed, so no need for cages or clipps....had a straight/shortened bar on it when i got it with that lever, so i put the drops to see if i like it...but thanks for the kind words sir

Also, foot retention is not a fixed vs not fixed gear thing, it's for, you know, going fast?

djomlas, if you're on a budget the Lascos seem like a decent set. I only ride my bikes, no tricks or anything. They're an alloy, so they were stronger than the OE crankset that came on my SE Draft.
ADDED:
PS, how do you get your pics on here? I tried the ole "[img] [/img]" tags but it don't work on here.

Here's my '09 SE Draft the day I brought it home. Already swapped the bars, front brake lever and wheelset.
And here's a few more current pics. Swapped out the crankset....

It's currently 54/15. I thought it was 54/18, but I just re-checked and it turns out the cog is a 15t ha. Pretty crazy... but I like it. I can haul some ass, that's for sure. I've got a 16t on the other side of the hub that I might flip it to here soon though.
