Yeah, the only thing that remains from the original build is the frame itself. The rest of the parts have all been replaced.

so sad to know it that your current setup using coaster brake. but at least it is YOURS. i'm just saying. cheers up buddy! :)

I didn't want any foot retention (like clipless, or toe clips, or straps) so it was either coaster brake or hand brake and I like the aesthetics of the handlebars with no levers more.

yeah i know about it, i was just like you at first but i think i'm in love with fixed gear. :) anyway. about shimano coaster, is it have a good spin?
Posted almost 12 years ago
My fixed geared bikes are for different purposes. The Shimano spins well, I really enjoy it. It takes a bit of time to wear in, but it's great.

Thanks, I've certainly ridden a lot of kilometres on it and spent countless hours tinkering and replacing bits.

Coaster brake (or a back pedal brake) is a brake where you back pedal and it engages the brake that is in the rear hub slowing you down and stopping you.

the Livestrong sticker needs to go :-)
Posted almost 12 years ago
Hahaha, I replaced the fork, and don't have another Livestrong sticker.
Posted almost 12 years ago
good for you.
I have a Livestrong bag and everytime I take it, my friends are bashing me for it.

I'm glad your friends let the media tell them who to view as a hero and who to view as a villain, not only that but when to view them as either. Lance went from Zero to Hero to Below Zero. He's just that cool.
