Bike parts

The Fat tire Fetish Fixie is yet another step closer to reality. Yesterday at the bike swap, I picked up about 80% of the parts I need for my new Fixie.

The only things I didn't find were tired, chain, saddle, headset and brakes. I found a whole slew of cool parts including a rear fixie hub for a whopping $1.00. I was hoping I would find a dope fixed gear rear mtb wheel, I but I think I was dreaming so I just picked up the parts to build my own: Rim and Hub. Just have to pop on down the Performance store and show them how to use their Sutherland's book to calculate spoke lengths to get my spokes.

Now I just need to wait for my Fetish frame to show and start hanging parts.

My buddy Alison was going to go shopping with me, but somehow she lost her sparkly gold wallet....along with all her cash. Really killed her day especially with a hideious Saturday night and a crappy Saturday on the bike.

I always say that trouble comes in threes (I don't know if that's true, I but I head it somewhere and thought it was cool) and conveyed that to her.

Sure enough, she scored a free frame, some pink cranks and a pink chain all for grabbing the fixed gear boys some grub. Oh and she got some ice cold Tecate. Amazing how some cool bike parts and some brew makes all things better.
