Wasn't the one I was thinking of, but it is just as nice! How many Colnagos does Andy want? haha.

Strictlybmx sent me a chain that was about 4 links to short.

Profile Cranks & BB are an absolute beeyatch fit. Chainline & Spacing issues galore.

I have a 22mm Euro BMX BB & 19mm Profiles. Strictly BMX sell a 22mm>20mm step down washers. Why? I now have to buy a 19mm Euro BMX BB. As it stands the whole axle moves.

I do have pics but they're on my phone & My phone does not have intenet access.

Another 2 weeks until my bike is done. It looks freakin' hawt though

what sorta chain rod? might have some spare links. got a mate with a 19mm euro. i'll see tomorrow if he's keen to sell it super cheap cos he's putting new cranks and 22mm bb in this week i believe. he's 13 and lightweight so bearings should be fine.

I'm currently in Boston for a conference, there are many fixies and conversions being ridden around here. It is pretty flat so that must help. Interestingly in a lot of cases it seems to be "trendy" students and the like rather than "serious" cyclists you see riding fixies in Aus.

You rule...

KMC superlight chain. Getting a new chain isn't really a problem. BB is a bitch though. My blood is still boiling.

And if hubbie's doesn't work out i've got a spare 8 links or something too of the Superlight chain. Haha. Not sure why it wouldn't work out, but meh, just so you know...
Someone yoinked the spare links before i could get to em sorry Rod, so hopefully Tristan can sort you out.

Might have a new bike coming my way shortly, seems like i am a glutton for punishment though because it's ANOTHER Peugeot... :eek:

edit: Nope, not to be, was dragging my feet a little too much. Oh well, it was a size too small for me anyway.

Who gives a fuck, if it gets you from A-B then it's a great bike. If you enjoy riding it, then it's a great bike. If other people think it's cool? Bonus
