My Bridgestone 300 conversion upgrade.

The frame is a IRO Mark V Pro, I guess some vodka company made some bikes for Goldsprint events they were hosting? (that's what it appears on google.) Well, this man ended up with it from a church auction (haha) and sold it it to me.

I plan on removing all the advertising, I don't even drink! haha. I'm hoping someone on eBay loves to drink 42Below and buys all the stuff I take off from it.

Can someone tell what wheels those are just by looking at it? I want to know just in case I sell those too.

Love the look of white wheels with that Peugeot's bottom half white paint scheme! If only metallic lavender saddles and bar tape were readily available...

Actually silver saddle and bar tape might look pretty good on that bike too. And silver or chrome headset.

I'm gonna critique a bit too, just cuz.

Some people like saddle angle like that, but bar angle is so wrong. If that was my ride, judging from the saddle height, I'd slam stem and level the bars.

I'm a hair too big for the bike so I had it set up to to where I wasn't sitting nearly straight up, thanks for the input though! I upped the bars a little bit, then raised the seat post to offset the difference.

judging by saddle height, that bike actually looks way too big for you.

I like the Peugeot. Lavender bar tape would look pretty sweet, I think.

Never said he was. I was implying that maybe he should chill out.

Oh wait... I forgot:

Lots of changes lately:


New Bars by yummygooey, on Flickr

I dig the Nittos, but I have a feeling they're going to end up on the FTP. We'll see when the new stem gets in...

new

Noob here, wanted a winter project last year, first set of pics is a conversion of an old Steyr Clubman with slop job new compontents, had to dremel out the BB to fit the new BB and drill out the front brake area to fit a new Tektro. Second set is a Kilo TT build I finished this spring. Feel free to critique I wouldn't mind the input. Thanks.
