MORE bikes...

So, Teal's got a sweet custom bike in the works. Can't wait to see that built up. It'll look awesome in black. How are you going to set it up? Obviously singlespeed, but what about other stuff? By the looks of it, this is no XC racer, but it doesn't seem to be a full-blown cliff dropper either. Jack of all trades? Let me know if you need any parts, I've got some nice stuff you might be interested in. I'd just like to recommend some brakes too. Don't know how much time you've spent with discs, but in my opinion Avid mechanicals can't be beat. I've had terrible luck with hydraulics though (rim and disc). I like how hydros feel, but hate the leaking... Get some 8 inch avids and you'll be golden (6" is plenty for what I do, but I hear 8" is even better). Also, love the bottle opener head badge. That's trick. The dimes are a cool touch too.
What about the geometry though? I'm curious...

Anywho, here's my SS road bike too. The only thing I'm going to change is the front wheel. Something with a black rim would make it look 10x better I think. The color is also weird in the picture. It's really a dark maroon with a very subtle metal flake glittery stuff. Specs are as follows:
1985 Trek 760 - 62cm, Reynolds 531, matching fork
Campy threaded headset
Worn out Sugino BB
Early 90's Dura-Ace crankset (172.5mm)
Cinelli Bar/stem (40mm bar, bit narrow for my liking)
generic seatpost, really long, campy one was too short
Rear wheel - Early 90's dura-ace, mavic Open4, DT swiss spokes
Front - who knows... crappy, ugly, heavy, but free
tires - Bontrager Select-K
tubes - whatever
Brakes - Shimano 105 dual pivot rear, really old DuraAce front
Shimano 105 brake levers (I have a set of old Dura-Ace ones that I'll swap them out for later)
Selle Bassano saddle (nearly identical to a Selle Italia Flite)
AtomLab TrailKing pedals (from the trials bike)
All for about $100...

Against the backdrop of the hideous love seat in my office...
