Re: Simplistic Speed, We have clearence, Clarence! *Lightweight*

yup. it's practically impossible to find pedals like that for a 1pc crank(1/2")
i've been lookin for months.
i've thought about getting a pair like that and and see if i can swap out the threaded pegs from another pair of pedals, but i aint that far yet

Well that stinks, my back up is Wellgo 888s, since they're quills in 1/2" but I'd still love to get some MKS Sylvan track or road pedals.

I do have enough parts to see if it's as easy as switching out the axles, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks!

I hate it when I come home to an "unable to deliver" slip rather than my package :x

Looking good!

I had a friend who worked at a metal fabrication shop. They had a machine that would use an automated plasma torch to cut designs from a template they drew up. You might be able to do that with the big sprocket. Just a thought.

Already in the plans :wink: the cheapest locally I've found is ~$50 but I'll have to wait till they get a job of similar material, it could take 2 months. :|

Really liking those rims
I didn't know anyone still made them out of wood
originaly I thought you did a faux wood paint job on a set of steel rims
but since you didn't I'm going to use that idea for a future build

Those look as expensive as they do awesome. Very nice compliment to the theme, if you can afford it why not right?

Yeah, I was surprised to find them still made, they could class up any build

There's just something soulful about wood!

Just a classy build all around!
I especially like the clear spokes with the other color choices.

Re: Simplistic Speed, Holy Wooden Hoops, Batman!! *Lightweight*

Thanks guys!

I went with the transparent spokes because I wanted it to look like it was going fast while just sitting still

Those rims are absolutely amazing. What a perfect choice for this build.
