Raleigh Super Course over time

[stevosez]

I like what you did with this bike, although I'm not a fixie rider, I just had my 79 tuned up at that bike shop in Ferndale and it rides like new. 8)

[dschexnaydre]

I don't understand the negative comments. I think it looks good and you obviously put a lot of time into it. Good job.

[jonathan199318]

where did you get your 4 spoked rim?

[dav1disradical]

@jonathan199318 they are called spinergys. they dont make them anymore because they break extremely easily.

[drinfernogh]

I just personally think it would be a better investment to get a good, affordable track frame and build it up from there. But I guess if you just want something flashy, aerospokes are the way to go...

[gangstapmpm]

LOL! straights bars got to go.. actually pretty much everything's gotta go. ever heard of the saying "u can put lipstick on a pig..."

that frame is old and heavy. the aerospoke is a joke. those wheels are heavy and tend to have a lot of hub problems. you are suppose to replace the hub every 2 years or so.

with the money invested on the wheel set, u shouldve bought a set of mavic ellipse.

[awkwardface]

how much money have you invested in that beauty? amazing

[TheRealBrianLee]

Looking sexy!

[drinfernogh]

I still don't understand 400 dollar wheels on twenty year old frames.

[wolfmandsk8er]

@drinfernogh becuhsz those "20 year old framesz" are now classick! iDidnt understand either back theen

[drinfernogh]

@wolfmandsk8er What?

[wolfmandsk8er]

@drinfernogh nevrmind

[danielgoneloco]

what bars are those straights?

[bryanOOOO1]

do you have any problems with the back wheel coming off since its a conversion, thinking of converting mine but dont want to run a brake.

[pifko87]

Oh God. Bike fail.

[Axbent]

whats the idea with the thing round the horizontal part of the frame?

[DPick983]

It is a top tube protector. it protects my frame from the handlebars flipping around and banging my frame. In addition, it saves my knees from getting bruised when I do harder skids.

[razilla69]

Must ride like a dream!

[DPick983]

The aerospoke is a good investment! It is super solid and I feel like it definitely has the durability to last some serious miles to come.

[DPick983]

It's about the same weight at my spoked wheels. 3-4lbs maybe? No problems stopping or climbing(although it's pretty flat here in Cleveland)

[92luder]

how do u manage 2 stop. i dont seem to see any brakes. is the crank 2 way? as pedaling reverse will stop.

[DPick983]

It's a fixed gear bike, you use your legs to slow down the pedaling. You can also lock your legs to skid.

[92luder]

lol, braking on downhills must be fun then.

[DPick983]

hahaha, its a riot. straight adrenaline rush.

[DPick983]

No spinergy for sale, but to fix your skidding problem, try a 17th or 18th cog.

[say12thebear]

that is the best looking bike i have ever seen

no joke

[ralphp1800]

I would stil have to say that it looks ugly, but it's probably just the nut guard and white rear wheel. My opinion or not, it doesn't change its great vintage apperance. I have a few questions. What's the brand and make or your wheels? I couldn't find primato on-line. I'm redoing an old bike(Cloumbia, lol) and it needs new wheels. How do you like your wheels? Oh, and nice video.

[DPick983]

I'd look for some wiennman Dp-18's if I was looking for a cheap pair of wheels. If I wanted some nicer wheels and depending on the bike, I'd buy either Mavic Open Pro's or Velocity Deep V's

[marsweston]

really narcissistic, and laughable.

[ralphp1800]

UG, LEE.

[pleh00pleh]

cool wheels
