Zellers Deluxe Bicycles

Here's the bikes I've made for myself. The first is my fixed gear (thought I'd start simple), which has one speed and you can't coast. It's a lot of fun to ride, good for the legs and will test your resolve on the San Francisco hills. I use it mostly for commuting, errands and social cruises. The second is my road bike, which is set up with gears and everything else you need to get out and eat up some miles. Next are a few shots of the fixed gear going together in the shop. I'm not very good about taking pictures while I'm working, but I'm starting a cyclocross frame on Wednesday, I'm going to try to document the process a little better.
