    d2h - cheapest way to get awesome af

    I'm coming from a 20D (which I sold :( bad move) and loved the construction of it.

    How do these feel? Hopefully nothing like a rebel as the plastic feels weird to me.

  2. thanks for the comments guys!

    lol @ grey poupon

    arevalo, thats a great looking bike. similar color scheme to what i want to do with my bike. Did you just paint the part where the brakes meet the handle?

    The inverse levers are actually that color.

    I purchased them off of velo-orange.

    100x steps further from the flashy concept i had 2 years ago.

    a porteur rack and fenders are in the near future. .... once i find a job.

    shellac porn!

    would love a 650b wheelset. 27" wheels look huge on it atm.

  4. I haven't looked at this thread for monthssss.

    All you kids stopping with your balls on the stem or doing it for whatever reason, thanks for making me smile a little inside it every time it happens. The best part is when you're prepping yourself when to skid, it's so awesome.

  5. Word. Thanks.

    I have some black risers on 'em now.

    Looks mad plain just black I gotta throw on some stickers or some shit on it if I do. I was even thinking throwing on the original black decals on.

    Thanks much!

  6. Hey, rather ask you guys then the guys over at bikeforum.

    I've been riding a beater road bike for a while, but have chosen to buy a fixed gear.

    So for the past 2 weeks, I've been trying not too use the brakes as much, and mimicing the 'no-coasting' feel, but always end up using the front ones to stop at lights, pedestrians etc.

    Do you guys think that I would be able to hold my own resisting the strokes and skidding? Or should I install a front brake for safety as I am new. I do have confidence in my thighs...

    And where I am, New Zealand, it is illegal to ride without breaks. Im pretty sure cops dont check, but what if I get in a accident, would insurance refuse to pay as I didnt have breaks? Or if I keep my mouth shut would I be fine?

    Keep the brake.
