My latest track bike build

[EvanSkate303]

This bike is fucking unreal. You had to have dropped around 2000 or more on it right?

[79pejeperro]

beautiful congratulations

[miscriant]

dope bike.........like the old skool japanese track look

[phatnum17]

@tueybooo

What? Deep v's make great training wheels regardless of you use them on the street or track. I have carbon wheels as well.

[987headshot]

sj ?

[yaawra]

hey i was wondering how you got your fork to have a clearance like that, what kind of fork is that?

[tueybooo]

@yaawra

Frames/ forks with true track geometry will have tight clearance. Soma makes some nice track forks if you want to check that out.

blud wheres yo' dust caps blud!

@stephensthebomb

Believe it or not, I raced this bike. I'm 20 mins from a velodrome and I ride every now and then.

No hipster here.

[stephensthebomb]

This is a super nice bike. It would be good if it went to the velodrome every now and then, but I'm picking it doesn't. Sad really, but that's modern 'pop' culture for you.

[nilo2209]

@stephensthebomb uh, the important thing is that people choose to ride bikes. Not where they do it. Fixed gear bikes have a longer history than velodromes. The idea that they should remain on the track is bullshit. So is the idea that they should have no brakes when used on the road.

[jdawg4334]

@nilo2209 Agreed. No one has ever put that as well as you.

[ace7410]

cool

[litomeanbear]

at first i was hating like conversion fag but i saw the track dropouts and i was like :/



[kelsr78]

continental hardshells!!!!!! best on earth!

@trailrunner733t

Rofl y u mad?

Cookie cutter? Someone's jealous

Tape is dirty who cares? Wrapped just fine.

Bike is long gone

[trailrunner733t]

standard cookie cutter horseshit. Learn how to wrap your bars for fuck's sake.

[pimpjuice8921573]

That is sickkkkkkkkk.

[phatnum17]

@EVOASSHOLE

Um what? Want to watch that again? Neither front or back hoops are machined.

[EVOASSHOLE]

Super awesome. Minus 1 point for the machined walls on the back rim. Why did u machine the back not the front rim?

[mobdoobie]

what kind of pedals are those?

[Nicolas141191]

WOW! that is one good geometry for such an old bike!

[greetgoodi]

กาก

[Stitches1977]

the best fuckin bike ive seen in months!!! Wow! just beatiful!

[TheFixedgear666]

very sexy clean!

[tommyogtigern]

the bar tape is pretty shoddy,  looks like you were wrapping a lepers dong.

[phatnum17]

Wow exceeded the character count..

Here's what I posted.

"This is true for about 50% of older frames in Japan, and about 20% of newer frames in Japan. Most recent (last 10-15 year old) frames use the standard 100mm x 9mm front hub measurement, and 120mm x 10mm rear hub measurement, so there is no problem there.

If you find a frame with what we call '110 spacing', it means you need a hub set with 100 x 8mm front axle, and 110 x 8mm rear axle. This is a unique sizing to keirin frames only. "

[phatnum17]

@jdawg4334

Like I said it shows how much you know.

Just because it's njs doesn't make it a global standard. If you ride these things ever notice you rarely find 110 spaced hubs?

Besides look at top frame manufactures (ie look,cervelo,bmc,blue,Ridley,f­uji,felt ect and you will find 120mm spaced only..wonder why?

110 spacing is used on older keirin frames in japan only.." The track standard" is 120mm in the rear. Ride the track and you'll know.

"This is true for about 50% of older frames in

[jdawg4334]

if it was true track, it would have 110mm rear spacing. tis nice though man. you should upgrade in straps.

[phatnum17]

@jdawg4334

Shows how much you know..:rolls eyes:

only Njs bikes have 110 spacing thats not a "track standard" buddy

this bike has been long sold. I use clipless anyway and when i do sprint then the straps come out.

[jdawg4334]

@phatnum17 what the fuck are you talking about? how is njs not track standard?

[c1owns]

Dude that is one sick ass brick!

[phatnum17]

Thanks for all the love guys it's made me miss this thing. I'll prob build another vintage bike for the streets soon.

[dav1disradical]

fuuuck man, loving the sugino zen ring w/ the 75s. i'm jealous.

[ongne1234]

[IIIBLAKEIII]

[nip2121]

What gear ratio would you recommend to go really fast?

[LARC0]

Sweet build, I'm thinking of making one outbid my Schwinn traveler to get un to the sport. :)

[zzestyturkey]

Bike party!

This is a weird one, but what kind of headset is it?

[iamsam0017]

[beneathmiskin]

Nice bike dude

[katweg24]

Thats a beautiful bike. that clearance is awesome. props to you man.

[dbz1994]

What the gearing

[phatnum17]

@dbz1994

when i had it

49-18 to spin

race days

49-14/15

[phatnum17]

@dv8hc

Fixed

A freewheel wouldn't work on the bike anyway no brake hole drillings

[DV8hc]

free wheel?

[fixedworld]

Great build!

[ideasoner]

sexy ride man

[tueybooo]

pictures speak louder than word. would've been better without the talking.

[initialdluvr]

hey very nice ride! i have a few questions though. hows the gatorkisn in the back? i really need to replace my stock kenda tire that came with the bike. ive been considering the gatorskin and the rando. which one would you go for? i dont skid 24/7 but i do skid sometimes.

i dig your bars too. hahahh what kind of stem does it use?

[mash4sfg]

@initialdluvr

i had a gatorskin. lasted me about 4 months.

then i switched to a rando, has lasted me about 1.5 months so far with red all the way around. the upside to the reando is that it is much easier to skid/hold skids on it, while with the gatorskin, i found it very difficult to hold skids.

my choice: the rando

[slickkapone]

@mash4sfg I agree, I have a Gatorskin rear and it can get difficult to skid at times, but it's manageable. They last a LONG time though. I want to try that rando you guys are talking about. Whats the exact model tire?

[phatnum17]

Yes I'm from sj

[spottedfeatherkeone]

a man your from sj?

[trueeasyrider]

you are very lucky to have this gorgeous bicycle.

[phatnum17]

I know I switched it out later to silver fizik tape cause I didn't like the cork feeling when it was wet

[micktrainor92]

u should put black tape on. I mean i know white looks cool, but in the long run (due to sweat etc.) they while go pretty shitty.

[phmiii]

Very Cool Ride!

[Annhdreww]

Hey what kind of frame is that im in sj too haha

[phatnum17]

What? I hopped curbs and stairs with the wheels and they never came out of true. A side wall dent sure but never out of true. idiot

[CatcherInTheRyeIsEmo]

1:44

you: "check out that clearance"

me: "HAHAHAHAH, call me when you get a hop in the wheel and i'll true it out. you walked how far with that frame over your shoulder?"

[phatnum17]

I had thought about it but I couldn't get my hands on a good deal for DA hubs and the Phil bottom bracket did the job just fine

[schue113]

nice. what about dura-ace 7600 hubs and a hatta or sugino 75 bb to make it super fast?

[SeaRanger311]

Nice looking bike =D

[MWF2GEEK]

Nice bike dude. Do you do veldrome races?

[SicSkatez]

That shit sucks man Go 4 da road bike

[phatnum17]

It's a track bike...TRACK..

[phatnum17]

thanks for everyones kind words i sold the frameset and purchased a new frame and fork new vid up later

[thrask8ter]

Hey,, Nice Track Bike!,,

A Little Tip!,, Flip Your Your Chain Ring Behing The Crank Arm,, That Way Your Chain Would Be Straigter,, Than It Is In The Video,,Trust Me! I had Lots Of Chain Related Problems,, && By Doing That I Fixed All My Problems!

Nice Bike! (:

[phatnum17]

thanks for the tip but...it doesnt apply to sugino 75's as they are track cranks.

the cranks your refereing to are prob the lower end cranks ie Rd's and xd's which have the double slot since they are road cranks. my chain line is fine and is whisper quiet and straight thanks to my phil wood bb.

also even if i could move the ring it would hit the chainstay being on the other side i know what im doing :]

thanks

[willyum236]

beautiful stem/headset my friend

[soldtodying]

delicious

[fringemagnet1]

nice bike, A+

[F20CPWR]

Sick bike. I'm building one as well.
