with pink floyd on the cover

what movie was mentioned in a little box on the lower lefthand side on one of the pages towards the beginning, some kind of horror movie about a underwater monster in korea or something. i needsta know.

Am I allowed to ask for some clarification here? What exactly makes Donnie Darko such a bad movie NOT COUNTING THE FACT that many people have seen it/like it/claim to "get" it? Is there something I'm missing?

If anybody is planning on doing pickups, let me know. The Vans collabo this time around is on point.

the quality of 10 deep isn't that great.. but its streetwear.. what do you expect..

What isn't that great about the quality? Are you talking about shirts, sweatshirts, hats? Every 10Deep item I've owned/felt/seen was far from low-quality.

I love my Supreme backpack, it's just like my old North Face except an even better shape/design. And I love the color (grey with very small turquoise and neon yellow accents).

mackelface: that frame is a pretty good project frame, but its definitely big. how tall are you? i'm 6'2" and ride a 57. there's a good fit calculator here: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CCY?PAGE=FIT_CALCULATOR&gender=M&units=cm

plus, stuff like:

fancy pantographing on seatstays, bottom bracket, and fork crown

campagnolo dropouts

means nothing.

I'm 6'1" so I'm right under you, so I figure I need a big frame since my legs are pretty long. What about the bike in the CL ad I linked to, is it worth what he's asking for? I really don't need anything special at all, a completely barebones fixie is what I'm looking for because I want to grow into it and add parts as I learn what they are and how they work and whatnot.

mackelface: from what i can see on those parts (miche seatpost, miche cranks, cinelli alter stem) that bike is already worth more than a pista. except... dude's only selling the frame, fork, bb and headset. can you build a bike?

Not at all. Would a local bike store be able to put it together? What else would I need, besides a set of wheels?

Would something like this be more in line?

Would this be a good starter bike, or should I just ge ta brand-new Bianchi Pista?

1987 Montagner road frame & fork (the rest of the stuff you see isn't included)

58cm seat tube, 58cm top tube

Oria ML25 tubing - crimped top, seat, and downtube - the ultimate in 80s tubing technology

fancy pantographing on seatstays, bottom bracket, and fork crown

campagnolo dropouts

very smooth campagnolo headset, recently overhauled

26.8 seatpost

italian threaded bottom bracket

Hmmm I'm awfully tempted... I love beat heat.

I believe he was referring to the depth of the image. All the interesting related things going on in the background supporting the foreground.

Yeah I had a feeling it meant that as well. Thanks for the clarification.

Badass.

Dogs and layers...doesnt get much better

That wasn't done in Photoshop, all one picture. If that's what you meant by layers.

Nikon users: I'm looking to consolidate my lenses, would I be happy with having just my Sigma 10-20 as my wide, a Nikon 18-200 VR as my zoom, and a 50mm prime (tne 1.8 one) for my low-light stuff? I have too many lenses right now, and I'm just dying to buy that 18-200 VR.

no offense, but if i heard you morons actually use 90% of the slang terms that have been cited in this thread i would immediately judge you as a gigantic fucking asshole.

Don't be such a douchebag. Try being more... epic.

Going to my local bike shop tomorrow and seeing if they have any Pistas, if they do I'll be posting pictures of it since I am buying one. Would it be a bad idea to give my bike a paintjob? I don't really like any of the Pista colorways except for the greenish one, I was thinking a rattle-can black would look much better than anything else.

game on, bitches.

edit: 23 days isn't a lot, but whatever.

You know the feeling of stumbling upon something and knowing right then and there that you're about to fall in love with it and make it another one of your life's passions? This thread gave me that beautiful feeling. I feel enlightened.

Yeah I definitely need those DQMs in an 11.

Retail is $95 on all of them.

yea same question from me - wtf is that?

some shots from paris I took a week ago:

You should post some shots of your car; it's super nice.

Definitely getting the DQM Chukkas... looking for a sz 11/11.5 if anyone is stopping by.

American retail is $280:

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. If my Samurais don't fit well I'll sell them and pick up a pair of these from you guys.

How much do 3001s retail for? I'm having buyer's remorse on getting my S5000wx's and they haven't even come yet

There's a blue one for sale on ISS with a HO of 165.
