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)

Huntington Beach is still a calm beach town. I took my tests there, afterwards rode my bike around and went to Seal Beach. It was chill as ****.

Yeah craigslist pulled through on this one. He didn't even list the size but it looked like a 49cm in the pictures, so I got super lucky. I'm probably gonna keep this one because its pretty nice.

Edit: Took about 2 hours to get all the sticker residue off though. That was a pain. Looks good now, though.

Today I: got myself a fresh pair of omnomnoms


Not Japan, but close enough.

Didn't even bother with the stock chainring and BB.

Just used a propane torch and some picture frame wire to hold it in place after test fitting and marking location. Placement ended up being ~2mm low so I had to add the two flat washers pictured between the caliper and adapter.

Today I learned about Dakar MB's from the 80's -- I really want one now for some reason. Lugged construction, good build quality and decent looks..

Today I took my RXS and made is as waterproof as possible. All threads have sealant, bearings are with waterproof and low-washout grease, and touch for gasket covers.

NOW I RIDE IT IN THE DOWNPOUR!!!

Sometime next week, bike has been on loan the last two weeks and have it going out again this week. Fitment is all jacked up, don't want bike nerds being angry at me.

Someone please let me know what type of crankset this is.
Land Shark Track Shark - Pedal Room

Love the black cranks/spider and the polished disc ring with no cut outs.

I'm a little picky and really like this style/look...I'm hoping it's not ultra-rare/$$$ (I'll always see something I want and then find out it's expensive/rare, lol).

Thanks

Today (last Friday actually) I thought it would be totally epic to extend my commute home by about 34 miles and make it a 44 mile ride instead of 10 miles. I made this genius decision after I was nearly bonking from the get-go. Fast forward 20 miles and both of my legs would almost completely cramp up if I encountered a hill or stopped pedaling for any length of time. I was *this close* to having to make a Call of Shame from the middle-of-nowhere. Thank God for electrolytes.

I'm confused. The bike doesn't have a black spider and arm. They look gold/champagne to me. I think it's a Sugino Grand Mighty.
