That sounds like a nice bike

If I ever find out where this guy lives I’m going to start a tarckbike cash pool to send deathhare over and have him punched in the dick.

Here are a couple pics. Bike is not finished yet as I have to tweak the cockpit setup, hence the stack of spacers above and below the stem. The cranks are also not the ones I listed. The 105 cranks haven’t arrived yet, so I swiped the old DuraAce ones from my road bike so I could ride this one in the meantime.

haha, sweet saddle angle and what’s up with all those spacers?!
my dick went numb looking at that saddle.
I love those hubs and hate your fucking stem. Waterbottle cage on a fixed gear? Really?
If you look closely at a Brooks, the part your butt sits on is level with the nose up like that, especially before they’re fully broken in (actually needs to be a hair higher). Setting one level (unless very broken in) is akin to the tarckbike pics with the saddles nosed down sharply, at least the end result is the same.
Which spacers? The ones above the stem are there till I cut the steerer (probably next week as I’m visiting family this weekend). The ones below the stem are to compensate for my lack of flexibility.
It shouldn’t. To add to the explanation above, if you’re sitting in the correct position on the saddle, you’re not pressing against the nose. Once the saddle breaks in, you can level it out a bit, but it’ll never be as level as a “normal” saddle, that is unless you like sliding up to the nose constantly.
I’ve put over 1000 miles on another bike with the saddle set up much like this one, including several metric centuries and one standard century.
Chris (oops, sorry, signed my name again)
The hubs are rather sexy. They match the copper rivets and rails in the saddle quite well. 
I’d rather have a sexy flat stem too, but my back would hate me. What’s wrong with a waterbottle cage? Don’t you ride more than a mile or two? I put in 15 miles in the mountains of SW Virginia today. I hate hydration packs for rides longer than 20 miles or so. With only one set of mounts, I’ll have to use a pack when I do the Seagull Century next month since 20 miles (distance between aid stations) on a single bottle is a bit much.

I will slap one on my Raleigh if I know I am going for a longer ride.
I love defencive internet people!
I love your spelling.
Why’s everybody always picking on me?
I love you, this how I show my love.
tarck-hug
I love defective internet people and I love you. 
Anyway, the bike rides great. I had a big dumb grin on my face the whole time.

I know, these were glamour shots.
At least nobody gave me crap because the cranks weren’t perfectly horizontal and the valve stems aren’t hidden by the frame.
