Frankenbike is THIS SATURDAY!
Hey all you thrifty bikers, this Saturday is that holiest of holy days: FRANKENBIKE!
This time around the swap meet happens at Irie Bean Coffee Bar (2310 South Lamar, Suite 102), which should make all y'all Southsiders happy. Hours are from 11am-4pm, and try to get there on the earlier end of the spectrum if you're looking for the really sweet deals.
I've got a couple bike projects I'm working on including swapping a few parts on my new road bike, finishing my polo bike, and helping someone wrest themselves from the clutches of fixed gear hell, so I'll just put this out there...
- 9spd bar-end or downtube shifters
- 9spd ultegra or dura-ace rear derailer
- 1 1/8" threadless headset
- 1" threadless stem (100-110mm)
- 29er front disc wheel
Talk about perfect timing to find a unique and interesting gift for that special bike nerd in your life. See you fine folks at the swap meet!
That's a sweet-looking ride, by the way.
Thanks, I really couldn't be happier with it. Since receiving delivery on Saturday I've ridden this bike EVERYWHERE. I'd venture to say it's the nicest thing I own, at least from a quality/artisan standpoint. My video editing computer (8 cores of post-processing FURY) may have cost more, but isn't NEARLY as much fun. I love my bike, Glenn (the builder) really blew me away with it. Everything fits, nothing creaks or makes weird noises, and it runs smooth like butter. Now I don't know if I can ever go back to off-the-rack frames, knowing how the other half lives.
they have this awesome Guiness draft with a shot of espresso in it and a swirl of chocolate. I think they call it an 'irie bomb.'
worth getting...will start my frankenbike off right :)
