Fixie: DeBernardi frame with Soma(?) fork, re-powdered. Sold this frame with the cranks since the Phil italian cups were pretty much permanently installed (took a 3’ cheater to install them, LOTS of checking and chasing threads since I was convinced I’d either crossthreaded or had the wrong bb/shell). Also, fairly certain these were the ONLY mango Phil hubs at the time (2006). It took 7 months of phone calls and ‘waiting on the ano guy’ before these got delivered. Had a matching REload bag in addition to the toptube pad :roll_eyes:.

Track (race): Fuji Track Pro. Rims were supposed to be “blems” (back when they did that) without braking surface, but after 6 months of them having my money and me not having rims, the rep finally just gave me a pair “off the shelf” with the braking surface to stop from having to talk to me on the phone every day.


Unclear of what thread my SE belongs in.

Sweet goofy conversion. I cant remember if I converted the axles to nutted or not. Something I thought was pretty cool.

You will not be surprised to hear that I was in on that group buy and then sold the frame because of the steerer choice I made

I was looking through an old Flickr account and found this. I still have this bike in a friend’s basement, albeit with matching tires, a Brooks, and no Acorn bag.

I was curious - what is that rack? I have no memory of having a rack like that. Photo is about ten years old.
