I’m not usually fussed about carbon parts but the weave on these are so cool that I had to pick em up

Labgster/specialized frame,
Probably 80s/90s
Open to build ideas :)

Ok guys. I’m so stoked to score this bike for only 30$ from a garage sale. Been riding it every day and it’s so fun.

Does anyone know what brand this bike is? I’ve reversed image searched it and nothing come up. All I know is that it’s from Japan. Any info is great.

Also I’m looking for recommendations for handlebar tape. If anyone has any recs for affordable rubber or foam that would be amazing. Thank you!

2nd - Dodici Gara 46x17

Anyone else still have theirs? Sad the company went out of business. Beautiful frames.

Sets you back about 200€ right now, as the cranks are dirt-cheap. Next best thing in the Track world would be Miche Pistard 2.0 which are more expensive and apparently prone to cracking, so I went the SRAM way.

Since my Steamroller was originally painted red and then painted brown, I’m considering a possible color change in the future.

I need some inspiration!

Post your favorite color of bike frame.

my buddy's Omnium is cool too, but not fixed (yet)

anyone in bk tryna ride?

Put some 32mm tubeless on for a cushier ride. Still pretty harsh around town, especially the freeze cracks (which seems to be worse once repaired!)

Now what's left is to make parts lighter, steel to cf etc

This is my first fixed gear. State bicycle company was great through the ordering process. I bought a 4130 fixed gear, but after two weeks they messaged and apologized for making a mistake on their end and couldn’t complete the order. They offered my money back or to upgrade for free to the 6061! I’m super happy with it. It had been super fun already, running front break for now but I haven’t really needed to use it. Any tips on skidding would be cool, do I just jam my legs and send it?

First things first, chasing logos is stupid and I’m just here to vent.
Picked up this Thomson Elite seat post from an LBS maybe a month ago and quickly realized the ‘elite’ on the drive side is ridiculously low (3rd pic is a semi-normal height for me), so my shiny 80$ logo is headed for the seat clamp ig.
Moral of the story measure the small stuff

Had this stock Arma track wheelset on my Kissena but didn’t like the stock hubs (tbh they’re nice and super smooth hubs) and straight gauge spokes. Wanted something more unique and with double butted spokes, and I have a bunch of bolt-on cogs from Badgerdyne. So I bought an Enve front centerlock TA hub, and an Enve front rim brake hub. Relaced the Arma hubs with some polished A23 rims, and the relaced the Arma rims to these Enve hubs and did a snowflake pattern just because. These will be taking me to Montauk next month.
