I'll even buy one of the big spacers/crown race and we'll share the cost.

But also, just me, I would put a pink suelo fork/suelo white brakes on that beauty

Finally, I have some ay bars in black in case you interested..

Thanks for the words on my ride.  I would never replace my Odyssey fork for a lesser quality (no offense) Suelo fork just because of the color.  I don't think the pink matches anyway.  I have a pink Suelo brake I have been too lazy to put on because I hate f-cking with brakes.

Here is a question for you guys.  Is there any difference between the front and back Suelo brake arms?  I am pretty sure I bought a rear brake by accident when I picked this up, although I still have the cable guides from my old Suelo front brake to make it work.  Those bars are not sweeping forward in any way.

And as a preemptive strike to TJ, I took these pics with brand new tires, new seat, pedals, wheels so you can relax about it being too clean.  It's why I take pictures when they are new.  I am sure when you see this ride next, it will be all nicked/f-cked up.  -_-

I thought suelo only did fronts. and the backs are fly. and the fly's are angled a bit more. pretty sure you could use it as front and not notice.

Nice ride Erik! Since I recently bought a pink frame myself I'm wondering... do you get weird looks for it?

fly brakes need to be modified to work as fronts, plus suelo fronts have lower profile. you might be able to exchange them....

Nope.  The way I figure, any man willing to ride a pink bike is quite comfortable in their own skin.  I try to let the riding speak for itself.

Plus the ladies dig it.  :ph34r:

Haha, good then! I figured myself that it shouldn't keep me from riding because I don't give a sh*t but wondered how the reactions are. :D

Nice but...you lose two style points for having a reflector and running your rear brake cable over the crossbar instead of under.
