With daylight savings rolling in we ended up with 12 riders last thursday! sweet! went for a big bays spin Time trailing 90 gear inches with 16 spokes and tubs! boom. was a dope ride and good fun at the pub after. catch you all next week! chur.
Soo the reiker build is going very slow.. struggling to find parts and have very low funds. however! i just finished this. this has been my daily runner for the last few months and was built from my spare parts bin for a long time. i decide it needed its own set of parts and this is the result. This is probably my favourite bike ive owned so far. has a good balance of loks strength speed stiffness. not the best at anything but definitely an allrounder. anyway. enjoy!
Frame / Fork : 2010 GT pulse 54cm

as always after each build i say it will be the last. well it never is. This is my current project. A New Zealand made Reiker built from columbus oria tubing.
its got crazy tight clearances and a wicked colour, this bike will most likely become my daily and my GT pulse demoted to my race bike. The build list thus far is:

-Mavic open pro to miche wheelset
-campagnolo super record fluted seat post
-Titanium flite saddle

Hey T. Blog Supreme gain followers. love ya man.
Sooooo… due to everyone being injured/ away the blog has been lacking content for a while. Ive just had my second surgery in 6 weeks and will be out from riding for another 10 or so weeks. But apart from all this im still building and collecting bikes. Most of you have seen this but i though i would throw it up anyway cus im bored,
Purchased from OG dametruth member Adam a few months ago this bike is now one of my favourites ive ever owned. built to be a proper roadie with all modern running gear it runs smooth and has taken me on a few hefty k rides before injury set in. i hope to be back on it asap. But dont worry my fixed gear passion has not lessend since purchasing gears and brakes!
