Here's my SS baby, I needed to commute to a job as I didn't need to take tools to this site. I resprayed an old Diamond Back cromo frame, but I didn't have any stickers to put on, so I cut out some old Lagwagon stickers and there you have it. It's 36:17 as I'm unfit and it also fit the chainstays perfectly (with a bit of grinding). Thanks to Johnny for the brake levers!!

That's a cool ride! Are you going to do any more paint customization?

Thanks! I couldn't find anything to put on the top tube or headtube, but I think that'll be it for the customisation after I find those. I just used up parts I had already along with a couple of new bits. I spin out too easily with the gearing but it'll do for now.

i was gonna say 36/17 - must take a while to get anywhere or it must be hilly :)

She's a ripper, it looks as light as a feather.
I wouldn't trust the brakes though......:rolleyes: (couldn't help myself Johnny boy!)

Have to come for a ride nick when my ankle gets un-fucked.
Also, there looks like there would be stuff all clearnace from the crank and the ground when riding. Shorter crank arms?

The cranks are 170mm, it's all they had at the moment and they were $90 so I got them. It is quite light and the tyres are very quick.
