This bike was a quick Sunday project that turned out quite nicely. I had nearly all of the components laying around my apartment already, but didn't have an appropriate frame to put them on. When this Andre Bertin frame popped up locally, I knew it would be perfect. Read more…
This is my current commuter / beater / tarck / polo bike. I built it up around a 51cm Cayne Uno frame. The Uno is a budget steel frame with large rear drop-out guards; not that sexy but rock-solid.
Its got an FSA Pig headset and FSA crankset with a 42T chainring up front and 16t cog in the back; the rear wheel is a flip-flop for fixed or freewheel. The wheelset is a pair of Weinmann DP-18 deep-V rims laced to Joytech hubs with yellow Panaracer Stradius tires. The funky chunky stem is an adjustable Kalloy Uno, as are the purple anodized pedals, seatpost, chain, and handlebars which give the bike some budget bling. The side-pull brake calipers are Promax while the seat is a budget copy of the Selle Concor by CCM, the same model that I used on my first single-speed conversion.
