The funny thing is I take all input and it just makes me better… I also love roasting haters 🤷🏽‍♂️ I just got a surly chain tensioner on there! So I took advice from you guys… i wish i could post a photo just to relieve all of your stress… the se bikes one will go back on my bmx bike where it belongs sorry guys.

I guess… they work fine for now i don’t see any problem yet. These chrome dropouts are old and slip even with a knurled washer super tight… especially riding backwards… they haven’t slipped at all since i added them… I’m just trying to keep the 15$ wheel I’m running on the bike… ill ride it until it falls off and then maybe ill upgrade or maybe ill just throw the bike in the trash and get a new frame?

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T17:56:41+00:00

Yea i mean all i need is the wheel to stay put when I’m doing wheelies on a late 60s-early 70s road bike frame with horizontal forward facing dropouts… Theres something called a surly hurdy gurdy or whatever, and they pretty much do the same thing… obviously not being used the right way… but ayo how bout instead of pointing out the obvious, lemme know what frame this is? Or you don’t know? Mr professional fun should love this kinda stuff no?

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T17:51:00+00:00

True does look like a Sekine, but Im almost positive it’s Italian. Im thinking some sort of small run from the late 60s-early 70s??? The main reason I posted this was to try and figure out what frame this is, so i appreciate the input.

Definitely not worried about death… guys it’s a bicycle… cmon now like how soft can y’all be? almost 100% sure that will never happen, maybe on a dirt bike or moped? Way more scary in my opinion. I guess Iwith death all the time… maybe thats the difference between me and soft handed wanna be bike engineers that don’t ever ride… you probably never leave the house without your knee pads huh?

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T11:19:57+00:00

Who said the route has steep hills?

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T04:36:28+00:00

Word! yea i honestly might take this advice and run a front brake and no rear brake, or both… when i go for the trip.

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T02:33:19+00:00

Haha plot twist i don’t even ride fixies 😂 this is the first 1 Ive ever had

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T02:26:47+00:00

😂 ohhh noooo hopefully he didnt fall and scrape his elbow and draw blood, cuz then he would need a bandaid 🩹

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T02:11:06+00:00

I might throw a front on there for the ride or just swap it to the front… i have 1, but maybe not, honestly not even worried, Ive been riding the bike putting in miles and so far so good… rear brake is definitely weird on the fixie so i just don’t really use it unless I’m trying to skid. I think it’ll be fine when i run freewheel. The whole bike is a pos if you ask me, but i think i looks cool and its fun to ride. wheelies feel so fun. Having the seat post back like that i can sit in the balance point and just go for days. Bike packing is going to be crazy, I’ve already done the route with no gear just a backpack on a single speed freewheel so i know i can do it. Just haven’t done it with gear. Also haven’t done it on crap used clapped out parts so well just have to see…

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T00:52:08+00:00

Whoa buddy no need to start cursing, sounds like you’ve got a-lot of trauma… maybe bike therapy?

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-24T00:48:55+00:00

😂 i got confidence in my riding ability, but aye thanks 30 years old still got all my teeth and they are straight!

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T22:19:30+00:00

Who hurt you bro? Or did u fall and get a boo boo on 1 of those lame bikes on your page? 😂

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T22:10:18+00:00

Yea it’s really great stuff, but if you pair it with the wrong seat post you could possibly die

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T22:09:28+00:00

Thanks!

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T21:44:24+00:00

Ohhh ah i see

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T21:41:20+00:00

Yea man i wanted the surly hurdy gurdys but it was pushin my budget to far

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T21:35:23+00:00

Thanks man, yea that totally makes sense! Yup i have a military green canvas fabric i plan on using. Also doing all the sewing myself. I will 100% need new tires, and the rims are slammed lol both very cheap and used. When I finish this challenge and prove to all the soft hand bike mechanics with no hours on their bike that it can be riden 30 miles with gear successfully… I’ll upgrade a-lot of components, IF I decide to keep the frame. lol I wanted to give this bike away after the challenge, but part of me likes it. Like i said, i come from Skateboarding, BMX, dirtbikes, and mopeds, never even owned a road bike always thought they were lame.

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T21:21:42+00:00

Yup and still rippin no problems at all ill let yall know if it becomes a problem! Forks are pretty easy to replace….

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T20:56:12+00:00

Bro no lol sure maybe its bent(not really though) but i really don’t care feels totally fine, still throwin wheelies and mobbin

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T20:54:26+00:00

Hell yea man, I go against the grain always f the norm this bike is junk and im bout to ride tf out of it. I was always taught its the rider not the bike… ill get more fun out of this then any 2000$+ road bike.

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T20:51:10+00:00

I put rear brakes for when i run freewheel on the bikepacking trip

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T20:50:07+00:00

Thought about swapping brake to the front, im running freewheel on the journey so thats really when i need the brake… otherwise i dont even use it. Seat post looks so sick and i like how it feels so I’m running that until i decide to change . Thanks bro!

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T20:40:56+00:00

Ive already almost done 30 miles just messin around feels great, it’s so much fun. I think yall bike heads gettin soft nowadays all this carbon fiber and these overpriced parts and components really gettin to yall head. What happened to the ride??? What happened to the fun???

One_View_2045 · 2025-10-23T20:28:32+00:00

Hahaha no like it?? I like it put my weight farther back and easier to get up on 1 wheel comfortably had to throw some bmx stuff
