Stefan,
that is awesome...
The bike looks great in the Finished Pic's section!

for a guy to work his Forks in a lathe...weld up his own fixed
rear hub...paint it to match..and piece together bits and parts
from salvage bikes is pretty impressive.

with a very limited parts supply you brought that bike back to life!

great work!
Your a "Rat Roadie" God! :lol:

peace,
Kev.

Very Cool Bike, I would love to build a fixed gear myself. I thought you were in the RRBBO, but I did not see your entry, What gives :?:

 

[Rat Rod]

Yes, unfortunately there was a mix up and we sort of left him in the dust. I'm gonna go out on a limb though and bet he's like most of us and could have cared less about the judging and just enjoyed the build. :wink:

 

[outrage]

yes, on the one side i'd like to see my bike compete with others in the poll, on the other side I think my bike would't have made it among the top five anyway, and probably no one would have paid the postage to ship a prize over the pond...

 

[Hooch]

you made a truley great bike there my friend and I think it was easily top 5

 

[Clothespin n]

It would have been one of the top 5 for sure.

The Welded up Fixed Hub,
The Work on the Stearing tube you did.
and the fact that you took a very old road bike and kept
the weight down so LOW!!!!

You built an incredible Bike...Pat yourself on
the back!!

It was definatly one of my Favorites...

My Friend Steve Kim owns a Bike Shop( mostly Roadies stuff )

send me a Private message with you Cycling Jersey size
and I will send you a Jersey!!!!
maybe one with Vancouver, or British Columbia writin on it.

You deserve at least that for missing out on the Polls!

PM me,

peace,
Kev.
