fix.

Basically any Bike site will have some, but you'll have to cut them to make them smaller.

And aren't those Risers really uncomfortable like that? It looks like half of your hand would be bent down, while the other is straight..

Thanks for the help.

+rep.

Pre-soak, they're around 38, post soak, usually between 34-36, depending on if you soak or hot wash, and if you use the dryer.

Thank you sir. And as a follow up question, When I put these in the dryer, it's best to put them inside out, correct?

Mr. M, What size ultrasprts are those?

This has probably been asked but..

Samurai's inseam is 36 inches pre or post soak?

these belong to supercrap once he sends me the payment.

Contact me anyway you'd like.

and actual thanks to those that helped me, i'm going to browse around a few LBS to see what they stock and consistently check craigslist until i leave

didn't meant to be a dick, I just meant that if you were gonna buy a bike to customize, you can have fun customizing a roadie too. And consider a Jamis Sputnik, Mercier Kilo TT, and a Swobo Sanchez if you're fixed on a fixed. (hehe).

the same reason why i like my bike that doesn't allow me to coast. because it's fun.

granted, riding bikes is fun period, but my experience on the lime was novel and fun enough for me to recommend it, which is what the dude was asking for in the first place.

if i had known he had his mind set on fixed gear already and was just asking for recommendations for entry level track bikes, i would have just cosigned on the IRO.

I see what you're saying.. I still don't think it'll be the most efficient, but whatever. And I'd definately go with the Iro over the Pista, but I would try to go with something different. I think the Sputnik and Kilo TT are the best bet.

well i want a fixed gear if only because it will be a challenge and give me some incentive to ride, and also so i can waste time with upgrading it and shit as a hobby. my college is also really flat and entirely paved, so i don't have to worry about terrain. IRO doesn't have my size in the mark v which seems to be the best entry level fixie that they offer, so i think i'm just going to go with a pista which is in stock at a LBS, or alternatively pick up one of the 53 cm miyata's from this guy and either ride it stock or convert it

thanks for the input

you can upgrade any bike...

dude's just going to be going around the campus.

i know this thread is real fixed-centric right now, but it's okay to give him some alternatives.

from the sound of his post, it's not like he knows much about bikes either, so he might as well make it easy for himself and get something fun, easy to ride and low maintenance.

it sure is, but that doesn't mean I only ride fixed. I have BMX bikes, fixies, road bikes, mtb's and I used to have a trials bike. He seemed to want a fixie but it may have not been the best choice depending on the terrain. But why you would want a bike that shifts automatically is just beyond me.

^

get a trek lime. i tried one out and those fuckers are fun.

those things are really ugly.. and why would you want a bike to shift automatically?

hey.. so i don't know much of anything about bikes but definitely need to get one before i go to college in a few weeks.. i tried parusing this thread and other cyclying messagboards to learn, but it's all just way over my head.. my neighbor who's pretty into cycling recommended a prebuilt IRO to start out with. i saw a few of them in this post so i think i might do that, but do you guys have any other recommendations before i pull the trigger on it?

do you want a fixed gear? What's the terrain of your college?

I love when bikes with sloping tt's have riser bars and/or riser stems.

And sycamore, you're putting a nitto jaguar on your knuckle?

bump. 10char.

um, aren't these like 15 bucks everywhere?

Humpty Bumpty sat on a wall..

do you have any better pics of the uniqlo jacket? thanks,

do the blazers come with extra laces?

sure do. And the lace bag to boot.

effin...if those 1's were 10.5 they'd be mine

sexy, aren't they?

I'm a custodian at my old elementary school over the summer. Today I cleaned the grease trap and vomited twice. And then I had to deal with jerky teachers who throw their trash in the hallway and expect me to clean it up. They're not even supposed to be in the school yet.

I used to be a golf caddy. I got paid $120 in 5 hours, but I had to carry two golf bags with four overpaid jackasses.

I live in a small town in NY. Mount Kisco. So far I've only met one other fixed rider, and he was a douche that bought a steamroller cause it looked cool and had no idea what he was doing. He couldn't even stop and he asked me to teach him to wheelie.. But in NYC it's not too bad. There's way more geared bikes than fixies.

This is a "just because I say i accept offers doesn't give you the reason to be a cheap jerk that offers less than half my asking prices" bump.

I have size 9.5 Zoo York Blazers. The ones in black, not grey. They're after the canvas ones, but before the newer ones with padding.

bump bump, bump, bump, BUMP IT UP!
