best black bike ever

Submitted by Ride Among Us on 01/19/2009.

i've been looking at this bike for nearly 2 years and there still isn't a better all black bike out there! those custom hubs are trick. I wonder how the miche carrier cog system has worked out over time? still tight?

Submitted by asterisk on 01/22/2009.

Thanks, it's held up to the test of time pretty well. I honestly haven't added much over the almost 4 years I've had it aside from wear items.

I don't use the Miche cog carrier however, you can run regular track cogs on Miche hubs just fine. There's anecdotal evidence that the carrier system develops play after a while so I wasn't too interested.

your monopod and cam bag

Submitted by vinceypoo on 06/19/2008.

i get how the handle is being held up but whats holding the base up?
and the way the bag is held under the seat is pretty smart.
is this all ghettorig? or was the bag and mono made to do that?
ingenious.

The pump (a Zefal HP-X) is

Submitted by asterisk on 06/25/2008.

The pump (a Zefal HP-X) is held under the top tube via friction (it springs outward) and a strap near the head tube. Road frames used to have pegs on the headtube that held the pump but a strap works just as well.

The bag is just a Trek saddle bag available at your nearest Trek dealer, nothing fancy.

Submitted by antioxidants on 05/14/2008.

your whip is too ill, definitely inspired me to do what i've done to mine. riding around at night all blacked out makes me feel like a ninja sometimes, i highly recommend it.

Submitted by Martin on 06/12/2007.

I've been planning to go all black with the components on mine. I think Goldtech do black hubs to save anodizing.

Coastal range!

I too rode through the coastal range on a fixed, albeit with front and rear brakes. Brakeless would've been a death wish on some of those descents coming back towards Portland...

Sweet Ride...

Submitted by jonny g on 10/21/2006.

I realize I missed a day
But Im too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Dont want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I cant remember just where Ive been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Dont want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
