"hey jackass! Why are you doing this to my eyes?"

I am pretty sure that the chain doesn't know weather the torque is being applied in one or the other direction..
I'm going to use 3/32 on my vivalo as well, and run brakeless.

coffee.. and free dumpstered wine/beer ;) that's perfection.

I hate tea.. :) but i have been spending quite a bit of this weekend on my bike, lovely :)

aidan haj: are they nitto bullhorns? i'm liking the stem bars combo :)

They are Nitto RB-021 bullhorns

Less than a minute ! (or more correctly somewhere between 30 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds.
:)
I realise such a work of artistic craft might have taken you a day or two but some of us genises use Potatoshop™ like a typewriter.[/quote]

hah, fuck you tynan :) :)

posted here before, but didn't post any photos of my bikes, except for a few photos of my vivalo-frame :)
Here's some more:
my first fixie, everyday bike, it's ugly and build mostly from dumpstered parts, but i still love it.

and the Vivalo, not quite done yet, but getting there:


Notice the very cool one-off temporary toptube protector ;) oh yeah, and the new invisible edition rubino pro-tyres..

Very annoying i didn't measure up my old bike properly, and i got a stem that's like 40mm too long.. oh well, this being the first build i guess i should expect to make some errors, and track-parts are not that hard to sell in Denmark. It is way to expensive to ship stuff back to hubjob thats for sure.

you decide :)

People that can't figure out how to mount bullhorns the right way up deserves a kick in the nuts...

Heh.. :)
Oh well, it should be able to handle my daily commute to work and back... i'm not planning on practicing any tricks on an expensive piece of artwork like this bike ;)

It is an old keirin-frame btw, not damaged in any way (except for a few dings in the paint here and there).
doesn't say what tubing was used, only that it's double butted cr-mo and that "Kusaka" did the build.

btw, i am a ninja :)

o/~ we ride the street, in tattered armies, we got the lion in our hearts! we'r not looking for trouble, just for some fun, but we're ready if you wanna start! so just remember that! the kids are back! the kids are back! oh watch out, the kids are back! o/~

Anyone using those Vivalo-frames on the street btw?

I found a few posts in here saying that they can't handle the stress... is that true? or is it only the crashes they can't handle?
I'm getting a bit worried about the one i'm building up :(

// Hans

fixed, did you ever get a fixie build?

FC-7600 are not octalink afaik.
The newer track dura ace's are octalink, but i'm not looking for those.

nice, i'll just whisper you for the details then :)

Hey,

New, or used but not abused, 165mm or 167,5mm.
Anybody got some they want to part with? (within the EU).

hippy
Drops, road bike or track bike
Bullhorns, tt bike or pursuit bike
We agree on the use of risers.

Well i know what's most efficient.. I never drop down in drops anyway, i guess that's why i prefer bullhorns on my fixie.
But you are off cause right that what you say is what the bars are designed for. :)

hippy,
Dropbars, Track
Bullhorns, Roadbike
Risers, MTB

:)

I have never seen such bars... you could do the ol' chop'n'flop on 30cm dropbars?

I don't see any problem having a "weekendbike".
Currently i have about 6 bikes.
1) Everyday fixie (dumpstered frame, most of the parts dumpstered as well.
2) "Long John" cargobike (http://gallery.nathue.dk/photo/2007/08/27/.cache/640x397-_MG_0567.jpg)
3) fixed-gear MTB
4) ultegra 9speed Ideal-racer.
5) old rx100 7speed racer (that i'm going to sell when i get it done)
6) my new bling-bling keirin-frame i'm building up for fast dry-weather commuting and weekend use :)

I do love my bikes, even though i don't use all of them that much.

I guess they are road... RD2-something they say, probably the same arms as the RD-messenger, 130BCD..
Something like the Dura Ace FC-7600 in good condition looks nice.. but i'm kind of starting thinking the safest would be to get a set with matching BB.

I tried installing some cheap Sugino-cranks that i kind of bought by accident, and they went too far in, so far that i ran out of taper.. if i look at this page:
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/bbtaper.html

Under the interchangeability-section, it looks like i have ISO-tapers? i wonder if BB-7400 (i think it's NJS-stamped) came as ISO or JIS, or both?

Hey,

I guess i should have measured the BB axel length before i went to work, but i'm a bit eager to find out :)
I have this Vivalo Keirin-frame, with 120mm rear width, and a Shimano BB-7400 bottombracket.. What cranks will fit this? i guess Shimano Dura Ace track-cranks will, but what about Sugino 75? Dura Ace is a bit expensive, me thinks.. :)

// Hans
ps: I am looking for used/new "cheap" cranks, Dura Ace og Sugino 75 (if they'll fit), just whisper me.

dumpster diving is the shit! :) but dumpstered track frames must be stolen...

// Hans - atm livin' on dump to pay for my blingbling vivalo :)

Don't be wimps...
