Looking back now, I wish I got a pomp a few months ago when I built my bike.

Just came across this beast and it really caught my eye.
1991 Marin Eldridge Grade
$120 Canadian is roughly 65-66 pounds. According to him the parts are all og.
Thoughts?

skrtluv is alive, just not here

After a few months use:

I had a dream about building a bike like this. I take these pictures as a sign to go for it.

Put this whole thing together myself. Pretty pumped on how it's looking for now, but it's not done yet.
Future Plans:
front brake
longer stem
bullhorn bar, need recommendations.
Sram S300 cranks
some sort of clipped setup

Was also planning on having a machined rear rim, but i don't mind the all black. I use it mainly on the road and pathways, as there are no velodromes near me. Rides much nicer than the conversion I had last summer. Probably end up swapping to 35c tires when the roads get rough. Let me know what you think. Once the frame gets beat I'll be using it more for commuting to school.
Fyxation Eastside frame, Aerorage front wheel, Formula to DA28 rear, SDG Falcon w Crank Bros post, no name riser bar and stem. 28c front and 32c rear Conti touring plus.

btw tape on the tt is temporary, and i'm probably going to remove most of the stickers.

Starting to put together my fyxation eastside build today. the fork requires a 50mm reach brake. could i get away running a brake that goes to 49mm? Not to keen on buying a brand new brake setup if i can get away with some used parts on it.

This thing is awesome

Is there any significant difference between a regular Formula track hub and an All City track hub?

Functional prons

Can anyone point me in the direction of some affordable steel frames that can run up to a 35c tire, or 32s with fenders possibly. Doesn't have to be something like a Cross check, could be a regular fixie. I noticed the Jamis Sputnik has some pretty good clearance, but wonder what size tire I could actually fit?

Haters of the northmen.

Affordable posts with a nice low profile clamp?

Light up a match and i'll ignite like 80 proof

you should probably go waste more of your time blogging about it. seriously, i'm sure there's someone out there as anally annoying as you are about it.

Building up a Fyxation Quiver. Need recommendations for an affordable and comfortable riser bar.
