My son’s Specialized Tricross, we spent time cleaning it up and swapping parts (another CL score). He’s learning how to wrench.

My Motobecane Fantom Cross Uno, this bike gets all the hand-me-down parts from my other bikes.

Dixie, to be accurate. It barely fits in there. Fitting a 44t inner ring on this frame is pretty tight. 46/44 up front. 17/19 in back. 46×17 and 44×19 use the same chain length, so the vertical dropouts make gear changes pretty easy.

love it, vertical or semi horizontal dropouts? if vert how did you get the right chain tension? magic gearing? i’m intrigued

wait a minute, is that an eccentric bottom bracket?

The seat to handlebar drop is approx 6 1/2 inches on Things 1 & 2. Plenty comfortable as long as I’m not in the drops—but then, once you get in the drops, you aren’t supposed to be focused on comfort anymore anyway, right?

It is hard to cause others discomfort when you’re comfy yourself?

My saddle/bar drop is about 3.5″. I had the bars lower, but found I used the drops a lot less.

I love your bicycles, sir.

Good eye. It has vertical dropouts so that I can run the fenders pretty close to the tires. The frame has an EBB to take up the chain slack. It is the only way that I’m able to run a 44t inner ring. The EBB needs to be turned down and away from the rear triangle or the chain ring rubs the frame.

I have fit issues. Clearly, I need to spring for a hand-built, lugged track frame. Clearly. Just don’t tell my wife.
Please.

Oh I’ve got similar issues. I deal with them differently. I’m actually contemplaing dropping a size on my steamroller because the fit isn’t perfect… run more post out and keep the stem slammed. It still won’t be as low as yours, but it will give me a little more flexibility.

thanks for re-posting, much better pics. I love your bikes, understated and nice attention to detail. your langster s-works is amazing, love the wheels. Do you use the brake with such high gearing? 48X15 is a BIG gear.

when are they going to open the DC Velodrome?
