Sabine (48×20):

Thing One and Sabine are both Surly Steamrollers (different frame sizes). All three have SRAM Omnium cranksets but with different crankarm lengths.
Thing One is my crap/any conditions bike and sometimes ends up with cx tires.
Thing Two still hasn’t forgiven Dirt for the time he made me ride it through the sprinklers at Hains.
Sabine is my ride-to-the-market/school bike. The rack is from Lane at CETMA. Handlebar, brake/lever, and brown bits from Velo-Orange. Dorky fun.

the pictures are too small, even when i click on the link. please post bigger pics!

i’ve only spotted you on thing 1, even noticed when you switched from bullhorns to track drops and we haven’t even met in person yet. your saddle to bar drop on thing 1&2 is insane. sabine would’ve been perfect for the tweed ride.

Ha ha, I should, considering it is nigh on impossible to shift anyway. Getting off topic, but the bike has its limitations — the tires are SOLID, so the wheels can’t be trued, so braking is an iffy proposition. I would need new wheels/tires if I were contemplating riding it much. But I guess I’d need at least a new rear wheel if I converted it anyway, huh?

solid wheels are ridiculous! if you want to go fixed the safe way would be a new rear wheel with cog & lockring, i would not recommend a suicide hub. if you go ss you might be able to replace the cassette with a single cog and spacers, or just keep the cassette and only use one of the cogs (have to check the chainline). you could replace the brakes and levers, there are lots of inexpensive parts on CL. let me know if you want to try, i can help.

also check out Sheldon Brown on the web, he’s the fountain of all bike knowledge.

speaking of, i found this jewel of a frame on CL for $65, built it up as a SS.

my second fastest bike (i’m faster SS than fixed, all that coasting)

And for knocking about town or riding to the metro:

I want to point out that technically I only own three bikes — the mountain bike is my husband’s. We have a total of seven bikes for three people. Is that bad?

n+1 bikes, you can never have too many. I’m dying to help you convert your Corsaro to SS / FG. please?

Forgive my messy basement, its laundry night.

Camera is a Canon S90, case is a Lowepro Rezo 30: http://www.amazon.com/Lowepro-3439010-Rezo-30-Black/dp/B00012FVYC
The case has a belt loop thingy that I just fasten to the steerer with a spare velcro strap from one of my dinotte batteries. Works great, the camera is at my right hand, and I can leave the top open enough that I can get it out while riding.

the cat face freaked me out

Yes, I know this picture is taken from the wrong side.

Don’t worry, you aren’t missing anything by not being able to see the awesomeness of the drivetrain.

Really, you aren’t.

love that you know about NDS picts, respect. (you still have a dork disc though)

I don’t have pictures of all my bikes yet. This is probably the only interesting one anyway:

Swift Folder, 1×9 Tiagra shifter with Capreo hub/cassette giving a Bill Killing 36-103 gear inches (though it’s 26lbs). Could use a chain retention device.

folding bikes always intrigue me, is it set up with same reach and saddle/bar drop as your road bike? if you close your eyes does it ride just like a road bike? the little wheels must spin supersonic, need discs. nice.

Vassago Bandersnatch 1×9 (frame soon to be replaced – anyone got a tool to press a headset in?)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]1991[/ATTACH]

Dave, I’ve used bolts, nuts & washers from home depot – it works, you just need to make sure you get big enough washers for the headset.

It would be way too embarrassing to respond to this post.

post your ride! this isn’t a bike porn thread, i’d like to see all types of bikes

[dcv]

Nice, bad boy? Pirates are cool

[dcv]

most impressive jabberwocky, I covet the Ibis (no tape yet?) and Poprad most. Haven’t seen any of your bikes on the road (or off road) yet.

[dcv]

I’ve had my LeMond the longest. Bought the frame on eBay in 2002 and it’s still my favorite.

[dcv]

very nice, i love quality steel frames. Sorry I don’t have recommendations for fittings.
I think we need a post picts of your bike thread.

witch sighting on trail tonight, had a nice ride with eminva – love the hat. sorry liz for trying to lure you to your doom crossing gallows road.

happy halloween!

Oh I’m pretty sure you heard me. I was the one bellowing DCV!! every time you came towards the finishing line, and I was also the one giving Mark a hard time for you passing him.

I heard you alright, just took me 3 laps to look up long enough to see who was shouting. Funny how I heard everything but everything was a blur. thanks!
