  1. Hello there sufu bicycle crew. After years of putting my bmx bike away, I finally went out and purchased a bike. On tuesday, I went to a "bike shop" which was actually just a storage garage run by a guy who buys frames, builds bikes and sells them. I went in with no knowledge of anything single speed/fixed gear related and after riding 5 or 6 bikes I ended up with one that I felt good about. Tt has a flip flop hub which was set up as single speed at first but today I switched it to fixed and I don't see myself switching it back anytime soon. I finally got used to "not coasting" today and I've been having a blast trying not to use the brake. The level of feel and control that you it is pretty awesome and I don't miss coasting one bit. Needless to say, I think I fell in love today and I can't wait to spend a while riding bikes everywhere I can. Heres a pic, all I know is that its a Peugeot frame from the 70s but the parts are supposed to be pretty solid as well. Purchased for $300.

    for that price, i would of gotten a Kilo TT instead.. i wouldnt run my fixed with that crank ring, cranks , pedals.

  2. the NEX is too "newb" friendly. I hate how there is no program buttons to choose on the top and that everything has to be set within the LCD menu.

    unlike other compitition, like the GF-1/G11, at least you can control some of the basics with knobs.

  3. Need a tripod ASAP.

    Any recommendations?

    Are dolica ones on amazon decent?

    I'm not looking to be a pro. Need something with good cost-quality ratio.

    And I have an entry level DSLR, not a D3 or 5D MK2

    I got a dolica through newegg. pretty good ballhead for the price. quality is not the best, but it does what is suppose to, keep my D70 + 105mm lens still.

    I would get it if your just an enthusiast looking for a ballhead tripod.

  4. anyone got the big slubs? i got mysellf a pair half a year ago, after 2 wash pretty disappointed with the results.

    will post pic later. im considering going to the beach soon and hopefully getting some better results from them.

  5. anyone got both NS and NC? want to see a comparison..

    im 6ft , 185lb, above average fatness, and big thighs, should i get NS, or NC... kinda want a more fitted look (not penis bulging out tightness)
