Current Stage Info:
Grocery getter as of now, once I get a Chorus groupset for the Bianchi, I'll move the 105 to this bike, build up some 650b wheels, get a front and rear rack and panniers, and make this my touring bike!

Nice bike dude. But can i ask where you guys find the salsa stems with the worldchampionchip decals or the angeld down ones. Thanks
Posted almost 12 years ago
swap meets! I have like 5 salsa stems now and I've paid like $5-$15 for each.

wow lucky dude you are, i think im gonna have a hard time finding them where i live.

Looks great! It's good to see something different.

Thanks! I'm rebuilding it with mustache bars and an 8-speed 105 group now. All I need is a new chain, and then eventually fenders and racks, and then it's done!

I want some cruiser bars now lol.. but i need to get myself a steel frame first lol..
Posted almost 13 years ago
you could totally put cruiser bars on your Bianchi! I just checked with my caliper and the Wald 867's have a 25.4 clamp. and there are 25.4 threadless stems out there, Velo Orange makes a really nice polished one http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/...

I would like to build something with just chrome parts and use that stem it looks sweet.
Posted almost 13 years ago
that'd be really cool, throw some high-polish H+Sons on there. TB14's would look nice
Posted almost 13 years ago
I was thinking of doing that to a mercier or a bianchi pista, but I need cash 1st lol.. after the holidays i should be able to save up.
Posted almost 13 years ago
I'd say go for chrome parts on your Concept! change it up a bit, throw some cruiser bars on too! :D
Posted almost 13 years ago
not a bad idea lol... But I just want to start a new project and swap my SRAM Omniums onto a new build since I do want to use chrome parts.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NJS-KEIRIN-Giro... it looks like it needs some work, but this is pretty cool, and I think it's in your size
Posted almost 13 years ago
if you got it stripped and repainted, then it would make a very nice steel track frame, and it's NJS-stamped!
Posted almost 13 years ago
Thats exactly what I have in mind something like those beautiful NJS frames. Its actually not to expensive compared to other NJS frames on ebay that go for way more.
Posted almost 13 years ago
and then there's also this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NOS-53c... sure is expensive, but it's also really goddamn cool
Posted almost 13 years ago
now that is FANTASTIC!!! its perfect i even like that red.. I can picture it built up with chrome parts.
Posted almost 13 years ago
I was thinking of trading my front HED3 for this guys njs frame.. what do you think? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/276...

Hahaha, dude, those gumwalls on the B43s look sick!
Posted almost 13 years ago
gumwalls are the best! they look great on just about everything!
Posted almost 13 years ago
dude, that thing is sick as fuck! ive wanted a nice cruiser for so long now! is it comfy?
Posted about 13 years ago
it's actually really comfortable, the geo is sort of relaxed and the upright riding position is really nice. and you could probably pick a up a decent steel road bike frame on craigslist for not a lot of money, and I'm guessing you have some parts laying around to build it with.
Posted about 13 years ago
Wow.
Posted about 13 years ago
haha yep! And don't worry, I still have most of the original parts, so someday it will probably be a touring bike. And I didn't chop anything like the derailleur hanger or braze-ons off, so the frame is still in great shape!
Posted about 13 years ago
haha me too! :D I'll still hang on to the original parts though, just in case
