The show off your ride thread

[severine]

Parts haven't arrived yet, and UPS is showing any updates since the package hit Hartford around noon time yesterday...

They were sitting on the front porch when I got back from the grocery store.

Sweet! Too bad I can't put your bike back together until after my ride tomorrow, since you want to learn how and you won't be home tonight.

I'd sacrifice the lesson just to have it fixed at this point. I've been waiting long enough! (And it wasn't your fault, either!)

You must be running a 1x9 set up.

Nope, 2X5. I dropped some of the extra gears I didn't need in the rear and used single speed spacers to space it out right. It gives it a nice chainline, it's light (not that i really care about weight), and it is simple.

Hey, Sev, are ya fixed up yet?

All fixed, the operation went off without any unexpected surprises.

The patient received a new hanger, derailleur, chain, and shifter cable. The proper adjustments were preformed and a short test ride consisting of a few laps around the yard was successful. She is now resting comfortably in the garage awaiting the next ride.

You make it sound like you performed surgery to me and tossed me in the garage after.

Well, I had to make room for the bike in the house.

While you were fixin', I was ridin'.
No pics, it was a cool night for a ride, so we kept moving and made some good time.
Love a crisp ride in the fall!!!

Brian, you're a sweetie! Sev, I'd tell you to treat your baby well, but I'd think she likes it rough!

Shiny new bash guard on a dirty bike

Looking good. Now you just ned to replace your 32T middle ring with a 34T or 36T ring. I have a 36T ring that won't work on my bike becuase it gets too close to the swing arm. If you want it you can have it. You also should lower the front Der.

My ride :

Andy - Why is it that oftentimes when you post a photo, you have the same sort of thing on your computer in the background?

Greg - Looks good! Wish it had worked out for my bike, but at least it found a good home.

My Stable

In the picture with the three bikes, from left to right:

1. Scott Quiring's Qball, SS 29er
2. 2007 Iron Horse MKIII
3. Fetish Fixation, SS 69er and fixed gear

The second picture is my Bianchi Classica, rebuilt into a Fixie/SS commuter

Nice Fixie! You must be one of the up and coming Rockaway Park Hipsters that wear the suits and helmets and cruise into the City on their fashionable and highly sought after three wheel fixies!

If you bought and rode an actual mountain bike, you might sleep better... :razz:

I have one and I do, wiseass. My playground. :beer: Tons of trails and interesting features. Plus I can ride down to the Ocean and hop in if I'm hot (Or rode through a patch of poison ivy as I once did.)

:lol: I was tempted to do the same here. I had one of these when I was a kid:
