Fixie Slayer (done)

[SILVERKINGPC]

Bike came out great! Fixie slayer is quite appropriate I think. Nice mix of old and new metal parts. 26+lbs is a hard # to get to, and any rat under 30 is an accomplishment. These lightweight and fast ratty bicycles are under-appreciated IMO. Engines are more popular these days, not a good sign for our populations's fitness efforts...

So I had it on the stand today to tighten the spokes and chain and noticed the chainline was way off, like 3/4"! Apparently I bent the crap outa the rear triangle when I wiped out...

hard to show in a pic but you can see the back tire all wacky..

A quick check with a string..

After a few beers and some massaging with a 2x4 we got it straight again, he says it rides by itself now..
