CARBON FIBER!!!
how pretentious can you be???
Upgraded compression & rebound dampers on the fork. Feels good.

broke and sad and I lost my cycling cap at the bar the other night
but here's a cool pic of my bike from the other day
Some winter gear, prep for a ride in the cold.
Bought a bunch of new parts.. rigid fork, fat tire, crank and frame. Rest of the parts I already had... and so I just finished building this wonder beast.
>>899655
Hey, what can you expect from a razerfag
A new alu road frame and carbon fork. A cheap one to build a trainning bike for winter
a whole bunch of these.

Get a load of this triggered FAGGOT
Made enough to buy all the parts for this, my second bike, a fixie. Local group I joined is going to loan me a brake until I learn how to properly skid stop. My advice: If you're going to build a fixie from the ground up, buy really nice parts. I wanted this to be a beater and my price ended up around 400~
Nearly two hundred bucks on what is essentially just tyres and gloves.
These gloves better fucking fit or I'll curse under my breath and wear them anyway.
>>900568
ayyy Michelin represent tho
Been eying those pro4 endurance for ahwile now
I'm sorry I don't have pictures ready. A very lightly used pair of vaude pannier bags and a back rack.
>>900576
I could give a review when they arrive to let you know if they're worth investing in but they won't be here for at least a couple of weeks (UK to Aus) and they're always going to be better than the Kenda cunts that came stock on the bike, so the review will be favourable.
Meh, just get 'em. Pretty pricey tho.
>>900578
Yeah man, do it! They're pretty well regarded I think. Personally I swear by Michelins. Especially coming from kenda you're not gonna believe the difference. The value for money even vs Vittoria & Continental is nuts IMO
btw your order looks overly pricey. Have you checked the prices of that shit on chain reaction cycles? I think you could get the tires for like $80/set if you're american.
Just scored a full 105 5700 groupset(minus cables) off of craigslist for $100 today. My touring bike project is now actually under budget, woohoo

I've completed San Diego to Portland on my cyclocross bike, so I was planning on buying a 46t chainring and just rolling with what I know.
That and I wouldn't be caught dead riding a triple crankset, eughhhhh

>"I wouldn't be caught dead riding a triple crankset"
>being this much of a sperg
Bought some cage bearings for the one piece crank in my dad's exercise bike. One of the cages broke open and half the balls fell out so it make a horrible squeaking noise. Looks like the previous owner sprayed WD40 in there washing off what little grease there originally was. Finally got to use the lockring tool I bought during the summer.
>>900531
Dunno, they haven't arrived yet. Supposedly they're low-stick so they don't damage anything
>>900633
Keep riding your 'hills' man, I'll be touring in the mountains ; )

I have since attached my chain guide, as you can see there is already the bracket in that pic...

If I see you with your bike I'll just introduce myself though

Faggot.
New pedals, Dura Ace PD-9000s. They are wonderful.

Shimano cleats are butt ugly. That's why I only ride LOOK
>>901852
>caring about how clipless pedals look
>>901858
I was trying to figure out how he ended up spending so much time looking at cleats that he actually bought a brand specifically because of that
maybe he is an american politician in iraq and he often has members of the iraqi pro cycling team throwing their shoes at him to demonstrate their disrespect?
>>901852
The shimanos replaced some old Look A5.1s, wasn't really too concerned with how the cleats looked. That wide platform on the new DAs is amazing though when sprinting out of the saddle.
GPS unit for only 200 aud. Haven't used yet because I am lazy and gonna pack my bike to move soon and cbf taking mounts off and shit.
>>899580
Ergo brakes
New brake cables
New calipers that only kind of fit
Either need new tires or ghetto drop bar thing. Can't think of what it's called in too drunk but I have an old continental so I have 27" tires so I need that ghetto drop both thing.

>>903628
Koga Miyata is Dutch, IIRC
>>903631
You're correct. Didn't even notice the "Koga"
>>903622
Thanks. Its in real good shape, Bottom bracket threads look like never used, paintjob got its usual wearing signs. The Frame looks like that it hasn't been ridden in a decade and before that, it wasn't used much.
I'll equip a Shimano 105 Group on that, will post a Pic if its completly built
>>899580
This past Saturday I bought pedals, wheelset, bar tape, cable housing and was then able put together pic related as it was slowly being built since late September. Glad that the total cost of the build did not exceed $700.
Hopefully my grundle thanks me
I got a new fall/winter cycling jacket. Took it out for 25 miles in the wind on Saturday and actually was a little warm. Just had a regular jersey on underneath. It's convertible but I didn't feel like dealing with that.
>>904023
Have it in black, wonderful seat. very comfortable.
>>904018
Wheels and tyres don't look like anything special. Otherwise it looks like quite the ride!
>>904026
Tried it, wasn't any better than the seat that came with my Marin. Getting my LBS to track down one of pic related.

Well hot dang I'm glad to hear that.
>>904034
I'm riding a Fizik Arione right now and I think my sitbones are too wide for it. Hopefully the 147mm vs 128mm makes a big difference.
Plus I think the arione is too flat. Also that selle looks comfy but pic related.

My current build, pic related. I put a Shimano 105 Group on that Beast, the current 5800 one with a 11 Speed Cassette
>>904155
Ayee, you've got good taste. Do you have any other bikes?

I just bought a nice aluminum frame and I can't decide if I want to move my 10s Campy to it or if I want to move my 11s 105s to it.

Received my quadlock today. It's surprisingly substantial. It came in handy today as I took a new route in the dark. I was easily able to pull up a map and keep an eye on it when I got a little lost.
I had to unslam my stem to mount it properly. I guess I'll just flip my stem like a big boy.
Ugly, ugly fenders.
But it's my only bike, so I need to keep the winter slush off my work clothes.
>>905024
Ugly fenders are ugly, but to be fair they are designed to fit on a bike that is not designed to fit fenders. There were always going to be compromises there. If you only have one bike it should have been a more versatile one.

Just copped some used tour master rain pants from a motorcycle coop for 10 bucks.
Taper leg opening, reflector stripe, reinforced seat, cargo pocket.
Couldn't be any better for my bike or my moto.
>>905943
Why do I do this
>>905944
Too loose
Just ordered most of the stuff I need to complete the overhaul upgrade to my 90's rigid MTB. It will soon be a 90's rigid MTB with (semi-)slicks setup for wet-weather commuting.
I won't have it built until after Chrismas or the New Year, but I am trying to keep it relatively lightweight without sacrificing funcitonality.

thats such a nice bike, would ride so hard
I ride a CHEAP SS to commute in a flat city. This month I've put the whole value of the bike back into it, unfortunately. I broke my chain mashing hard (also it was probably worth 5 cents) and replaced it with a SRAM PC1. Feels better than ever. I lost my SKS S blade fender in summer and finally got real fenders front and back. I also replaced the rear 28c thickslick I'd worn out pretty well with a 25c continental GP 4 season to try out something different. Also added some reflective tape on the frame. My bike keeps getting dorkier, but I really depend on it every day and it's smoother, safer, and hopefully getting less road debris in it. No flats so far with the conti, but I've yet to get a flat at all since I switched to puncture resistant tubes.
>>907187

There appears to be a rack on the back too, so I think front cargo is okay. The rest of this list is still valid though.
Biggest pain in the ass, bought a tandem I was going to rebuild the hubs into different rims and the fucking phil wood drum brake broke as I was trying to remove it. So much for that, Phil wood stopped making parts for it years ago
>>907493
I don't get it, are you jealous?
>>907557
Jealous of what exactly?
>>907563
i'm either being rused, or terribly confused.
you listed things that stand out about the bike.
does it impress you?
>>907565
Not really. I like the frame and all but you've made some terrible mistakes with that bike. You've sacrificed utility, practicality and comfort in order to make a fashion statement.
>>907572
>implying fenders, racks, "all-rounder" bars, leather bits, steel, and lighting are not practical or comfortable.
you fucking wot m8?
>>907575
You just don't get it.
>>907585
please explain what you would do instead
>>907588
Certainly. Just two questions:
What is the main purpose of your bike? Commuting? Touring? Etc
Are you well-off, financially? So so? Shit poor?
>>907618
you're such an arrogant shit, must you really continue sperging about such a cool bike?
>>907618
Haha, none of those things should be relevant context for setting up a machine that has utility, practicality, and comfort.
it's an LHT, it does everything.
well rused.
>>907635
1) Everything. I tour, commute, mountain bike, do social road rides, and even give people rides on the back of this bike. I want this bike to last, with minimal maintenance, that I can perform at anyone's home.
2) I'm, financially, a so-so student that works at a bike shop.
