dear sir I believe that's all shimano 600ax? guess that's a pretty nice catch from what i've heard
oh and some risers from a little kids bike. Drives a lot nicer

Hm. This thread got me back in the mood to find an inexpensive 10-speed. Is the final gear on a 10 speed usually equivalent to a fixie's single speed, or is it smaller?
If there's no benefit to the additional forward gears I'd like to get a single speed coaster cassette. I can't be arsed with fixies. I guess I'd try it, but I don't feel like dicking around if I don't have to.
One of these days im going to go fixed on this. I found this like this on craigslist for 40 bucks. Its a 85 model it still has the nipples on the tires. Whoever bought it rode it a couple times and through it in a garage
haha thanks man. I sold the 725 because of exactly that... It was sooooo uncomfortable!
and the nemesis is such a dope frame... Before you build it check out Wonka's new company Grime bikes they have such sick frames for some decent prices...
And that crank pictured I think is made by W.I.N japan they came on lots and lots of old 80's road bikes... I have several of them and they look identical!
Yeah, my nishiki has a crankset identical to that and it's a sugino. The reason I asked is because the chainring isn't bolted on to the crank. I **** that feature, makes getting a new one a little harder.
I am about to order the 725TR, in seafoam. Can't decide on that or the Mordecai in seafoam green. I have been riding bmx for atleast 5 years before hand and have kept riding since I started riding Fixed a year ago. I just think its incredibly easy to ride brakeless if you actually know how to control your feet. Its not difficult and I ride across town all the time in the mountains. Just have to be confident in your skills. And a very good rear tire.
