Today I was looking through the bikes that have been built by people all over the world, and found the following pictures and post.
Howdy! My name is Goran Saric, I live and work in Zagreb, capital of a small western Balkan country called Croatia ;) It's no heaven on Earth but it's relatively nice to live here.. Of course, it could be better, but why complain :)) For those Americans (and everybody else) that don't know, war ended almost 15 years ago :))) OK, now to business - this is my first fixie, but definitely not the last: frame is Geros (some oldish Italian brand) with Campi parts (headset and bottom bracket); rims are Sun MZ-14 with Formula hubs; saddle Ritchey Pro Streem; seatpost Shimano; other parts are some "no name" brands. Gear ratio is 46/16. Now I'm just waiting for the weather to get better so I can take it to the streets.. Bye and thnx for a great site.. Goran
It's great to be brought closer together by something as simple as a bike.

That's a nice looking bike. Very clean, not clogged up with unnecessary junk. And the components are pretty fine! Glad he described where he lives, though. It's so weird-it looks like he could just take a short trip by car and go for a ride with us.
You know, earlier I was looking at the Performance outlet catalog that came in the mail today. I got to the Shimao 8700 crankset and found myself daydreaming about Shimano Hollowtech crank/chainrings. I started thinking about how sexy they are. Then I thought about how much sexier a guy is if he's riding Hollowtech than if he chooses FSA or Campi. And how a guy riding Hollowtech would be more attractive to me just because of his component selection.
It was really weird and I had to put the catalog away. Talk about bike porn...
Interesting post about the Croatian bike builder. It's amazing what you can find out there in the blog world.
Good for you for taking a rest day...even serious bike dudes need a day off the bike.
