My Rides in 2010

I have been meaning to publish a list of my personal rides to mark a moment in time. Since I love building bikes almost as much as riding my bikes change and morph a lot.

So as of this moment. Here is the beginning of a series of what Eric is riding.

1987 Club Fuji Retro Mod classic steel road bike.

61cm frame and fork
Original Components include
Hatta headset, Nitto stem and B115 bar and yellow accented seat post

It looks retro but the drivetrain is mix of modern components.
Dura Ace downtube shifters 9spd
Dura Ace front derailleur
Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur
Wipperman Connex 9spd stainless steel chain
Campagnolo Cenatur external bottom bracket crankset 53/39 in 175mm
Campagnolo Veloce brakeset
Campagnolo Daytona pedals

I modified the rear wheel to keep the 126mm spacing and still use a 9spd cassette, by replacing the rear axle, installing 8/9 speed cassette body and re-dishing the wheel.

But alas this bike may only stay built this way for a short time. I love my steel road bikes, but I just acquired a 1986 Serotta with Columbus tubing that is also in my size. So thoughts of a 7-11 replica bike are dancing in my head.

Fixed gear super shop. Request a specific frame size(52cm-60cm)c-t, select between bike frames all nice classic steel(Reynolds 531, Tange 1, 4130 Chromoly Steel), select preferred crank arm length(165mm-175mm), select gearing, select brake setup(no brakes, front only, full), select stem and bar. Basic package starts at $200 and includes all new (tires, tubes, chain, track cog, bar wrap). Build time is about 1 week, includes complete rebuild from frame up. If you have a vision let us help you make it a reality. Pictures include former builds and current projects. Get your Fixed Gear Fix, and rediscover the joy of riding this Spring. Classic steel will not let you down. Many of our bikes weigh less than carbon fiber and titanium super bikes that cost $3000 and up.

Trek Mystery. Well I am posting this to get a little help unravelling a mystery. I am the new owner of a metallic flake blue 25.5 inch(64cm) TREK. Now I have owned many Treks and my second race bike was a red Trek 2000 warranty replacement frame. This bike is old. 1970s old. I think it may be a first year hand built TREK but the pieces are not adding up. I am not planning on keeping the bike for myself as it is just too large. Normally after about a week it would become a fixed gear and be adopted into the Brazen Cycleworks family. But this needs to go to a Trek collector and I need to raise some $$ for Toys for Tots for a benefit ride I am doing in August. So if you can provide the most help I would love to send you a Brazen Cycleworks polo shirt in L or XL, I think that is all I have left. I need to know how to market this bike accurately to get the Trek collectors what they are looking for and raise big bucks. Drop me a line if you think you can help. Here are some details and pictu...

Columbus SLX and SPX I pulled the BB and checked the down tube, seat tube and chainstays how Dave Moulton recommended. 6 raised spirals. It is a dirty job but now the tubing has been revealed. Check out the vintage Serotta decals on the pearlized white and the ornate lug work. Anyone know what the two tapped holes were used for on the drive side Campagnolo drop out?
