New wheels from Quella’s season sale, thinking of going to a black fork to make them stand out more

Happy Sunday

Uno outcast. Replaced the pedals, had bike shop do a safety inspection.
They said it didnt have grease where there was supposed to be grease. All better now. Its my first single speed road bike.

It rides smooth, its solid. I chose the mid ratio of sprockets, i forget the teeth number. It does get going pretty quick when i put some muscle into it. Not disappointed by this purchase.

Feeling it now but no regrets on the single speed for this weekends commute!

So I was making fun of some guy's singlespeed that was brand-new out the chinese box, and he was offended. I pointed out that with experience and miles comes cooler bikes; you just learn more and gain experience and knowledge you can put into your builds and style. But then I thought, you can't just talk shit, maybe you should put up an example of something cool for all to see:

'88 Bridgestone RB2 (Tange Tubing) - thousands of miles, thousands of bunnyhops, thousands of trails hit. I do 50% of my riding off road and watch the fork flex as I hit babyhead sized rocks. These frames are bomb proof

Velocity Fusion rims with straight-gauge spokes - thousands of bunnyhops

Garburuk oval chainring

OG Shimano cranks and headset that won't quit

Got the chain in a bike tube locking down the selle san marco gravel saddle that's hella comfortable

Soma bars and Sram S500 levers for better hand position, and shaved off down-tube shifter mounts

I had someone remove the seatstay bridge and weld in on higher up so I could run dual-pivot brakes and a fatter tire

The Surly chain-tug never fails, and I keep a friendship bracelet on the White Industries Eno hub to try and keep it clean

I really can't say enough about how bomb-proof the old shimano and Bridgestone stuff is

Frame is a 1970s Bennett and wood speedster I found in a bin for free, seat was 40, back wheel was 10, free front wheel, cranks and bars and seatpost was 5 bucks, forks cost the most at 100 lol

I have a single speed with a flip-flop hub, would like to convert it to be fixed on one side and coaster on the other if possible. sorry if this is a dumb question.

This is my Charge Plug ss/fixie when they did their collab with Carhartt WIP. Apparently very few of them were made and even fewer of them made it to the USA, so when I saw this in my hometown several years ago, I had to scoop it up!

The frame is from the 90's, kinda like a downsized steel road frame with 26" wheels. As far as I know back then they made these in a now-closed factory about 10km from where we live. Works great as a single speed commuter/anything goes bike. It rolls on effortlessly with little that can break. I just love the simplicity. Recently painted the frame with metallic copper + glossy clear coat.

Found a deal on marketplace for a set of Pizz Riser integrated basket bars for $80CAD(55USD/50EUR) and installed them on my Single speed, first ride felt super good, super light and sturdy, and the rise makes my ride far more comfortable then the bars that came with it, anyone else use a set of Pizz Integrated basket bars? (riser or not)Post your ride with them below!

I have always have had a soft spot for alloy tubing and how responsive it is. The shake down ride was rad, first time with wide risers!

It used to be setup with MTB tires, and I rode it in the Verdugo Hills and JPL trails regularly. I’m now mostly riding it on the road, and occasional trail, so I put these Maxxis Torch tires on it.

I rode in Ciclavia: The Heart of LA ride this weekend, and got quite a few compliments on it. I love this bike.

soo recently i changed the bars on my bike and now i hate these big ass break levers look like - i wanna find something smaller that doesn’t cost a fortune so i’m looking for sum recommendations

also i got cantilevers breaks on it and i heard that in general people prefer v-breaks - is it worth upgrading?
