Nice fixed gear, what did that start out life as? I have a 77 (? 77 or 78, I always forget) Schwinn Le tour 12.2. Wonderful bike...not as fast as my panasonic ex-police bike, but close, and just as much fun to ride. I can't get to my photobucket here at work to post up some pics, but I will get some up when I get home.

Edit: Checked out Velospace yet?

I have a Haro that i stripped of everything you can think of and i mainly cruise around on that little thing. No brakes makes it hard in some places. I used to be really into riding but havent been for years. I have a really nice RockHopper as well that i used to bomb down ski-hills with and all. I was thinking of selling it actually. Anyone know what they would go for price wise?

It probably was a normal road bike when it was built in Treviso Italy the frame is a 90's Pinarello Veneto. then the last person who had it converted it to a fixed gear. now I have it. new wheels are on the way along with some other goodies.

i pulled my old 20" schwinn pro stock comp out of teh shed the other week. its been a long time since ive rode a bike. i built it up (kinda) with the thought of getting into bmx , but that soon faded since the track was so far away.

powerlite bars , black widow 3 piece crank , some aluminum wheels and primo pedals. everything else is stock. i refuse to sell/get rid of it. i could use a new frame since its all beat up , but it still works.

i also have a titan t-1000 mini? frame in the shed with a cracked bottom bar right at the bottom bracket. not sure how much i could sell it for , but it is pretty ****ing light. and its titainium.

i have a 76 schwinn continental mach 2000 i'm in the process of restoring/fixing up that i ride as often as possible. even though my car is good on gas(30+) i still save a shitload of money riding when possible.

I had a few backs till some little negroes decided to steal them.

 

[95BlackGA 5,000+ posts]

I ride BMX, but I don't have a bike anymore. My last one got stolen, and I've been looking around for a new one. Last bike I had was a 2002 Specialized Vegas. My favorite bike of all time was my 1999 Mosh Team XL bike. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Finally, time for some pics. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nerd.gif.c6fa51ddf7ff75f1c0371fbc648f70ae.gif

These are from when I first got the bike. It's a bit cleaned up now, with a brooks saddle and better tires

I love youw the black and white and chrome all come together here:

A little crusty:

Round and round it goes:

Shifters:

Next goal is to get a fixed gear for bike trail riding around here...

I have a Trek 700, its ok I bought it used to see if I really got into riding before dropping some more dough and just never had the time.. Will probably sell it next Spring if I do not end up riding it before then.
