Got me a Selle Italia Flite for $25, score!

Edit: Here it is:

Here's it on my bike:

Take note of the Dagger Death Race II and PBR spoke cards, mad legit. I really wanna get rid of the white chain, and I kinda wanna raw my frame. Not sure if I wanna go to all the work though. Gonna get some mustache bars for Christmas or maybe before, stoked on that too.

My fixie project:

Bought this for 20. Only thing useable is the frame, fork, stem, seat and seatpost.

Stripped.

It's going to the shop to get powder coated black.

So far I've got:
FSA Crankset and bottom bracket
White rimmed wheels with flip flop hubs
Shimano front brake caliper (for SS use)
Purple Chain
Yellow Handlebar grips

I need:
Tires and tubes
Front brake lever
Brake cable
Threaded headset

Future Upgrades:
Carbon seatpost
New saddle
Salsa seatpost clamp
Stem
Pedals
Bars
An unthreaded fork and a new headset.

 

[Steezeman]

Looks pretty nice, digging the lugs. What happened to the chrome on the crown deal on the fork?

 

[DonaldM]

Kept it , going to shine it and throw it back on.

Yeah, old picture.

08 GT Fly
Slam Xlts
Shadow Attack TL Stem
Some old fork
Old 48 spoke rim, bent to fuck
Odsy Trailmix unsealed
Longnecks

It's brakeless now, and I cut my seatpost down so it's slammed. 2 pegs on the right now. Trendy yeah, at least it isn't flat black.

new stem (Cinelli Alter) and riser bars.

 

[Steezeman]

Come on man, you can't run that stem with risers. What happened to your bullhorns?

 

[conordavidson]

Come on man, you can't run that stem with risers.

HE JUST DID.

 

[Sshields32]

looks sweet greg.

 

[DonaldM]

NEW PARTS!

Still waiting on a bunch of others that are coming in the mail

 

[Steezeman]

What kinda bars are you planning on running?

 

[DonaldM]

Well I've got the standard drop bars that the yellow tape will go on. And I might make some bars out of a crosstube and get some foamies for grips.

 

[Steezeman]

Niiiiice.

Usually not a fan of risers, but this somehow pulls it off.

Also, got third in a race today and won some MKS toe clips (NJS, ah yeah) and some crazy red rubber toe straps but they're don't fit in my pedals

 

[Hayydennn]

i like how his wheels says whoops

 

[Hep Greg]

hey alex, can i get theose MKS clips and straps off of you haha.

 

[Steezeman]

Haha, maybe. I'm seeing if someone will trade me for medium sized clips. Either way I can send you the plastic ones off my Langster, they're still perfectly fine and you'd be able to mod them to your Hamiltons.

 

[the_SD_local]

That is seriously awesome. I wonder how the bronze effects the strength... I guess it really doesn't matter though if it's just for cruising and looking cool.

sounds good.
