ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[dr.house]

Yeah, I'm more of a PF Flyers kinds guy. But what I really want are some Colchester Rubber Co hi-tops. Supposedly the oldest sneaker (1892), and from my home state no less.

OK, so I also like the Ace Hotel x Converse collab

Great. I own a lot of chux and one pair of PF flyers too, those are a must have indeed (Ace hotel x Converse). But those colchester hi tops are super dope.

I'm in Love.

Picked up my Roys today and just want to add that they are truly awesome! Cannot believe how beautifull the denim actually is in the flesh. Well worth the wait. But those who have already know this.

Haven't had a chance to give them the fine tooth-comb treatment yet but first impressions have easily outshone any expectations.

Pre-soak measurements in inches are:

Waist - 35.5

Inseam - 35.5

Front rise - 12.5

Back rise - 16

Leg opening - 9

Will get some fit-pics as soon as is humanly possible ...

Finally got around to looking at the map. It's good to see where everyone is. Thanks dkatz for setting this up

[Farhad]

And this Filson x Levi card case has been in my pocket since I started wearing the Roys - thanks Farhad!

I'm glad you're liking that little card case riff.

Markus and Fardin are looking good from what I can make out of the pic lol.

Paul, I hope you get your jeans before the end of the contest!!!

More shoveling. I need a real shovel. This travel shovel isn't cutting it

[robbie]

^^^

I'll send you my spare snow shovel if you send me any one of those magazines you posted earlier.

I really want a pair of the white/green Bob Couseys. I like Converse, but the MIC ones don't hold up as well and I think they use a different kind of rubber, or a different process because I could wear a pair of MIUSA Chucks for 2-3 years, their Chinese Counterparts are good for 10 mos - a year tops.

[dr.house]

Same here. I send you my original dr.house snow towel for 'All aboutvintage denim', brother :-)

[DocBlue]

ok so this is my new toy. i went totally mad when i first saw it 2 months ago and mine will be here in March....this one is the demo one

mine will be black or steel ... i need your advice on the color.

i think my Roys liked the ride ...

[aho]

My vote goes to black!

[ThinFinn]

all black everything i'd say Doc...

what a great bike!love it...

[tg76]

steel .

[DocBlue]

i voted for black too.... but i gota say that to leave the tank unpaint has a real rough bad boy touch.

[ThinFinn]

What about matt black?would also look badass imo...

[DocBlue]

no it comes only in black, yellow and blue as stock colors. then you can do some samcrow painting on it if you wish.

i ordered a black but i am considering leaving it all unpaint. ....

[mikecch]

^ Unpainted sounds awesome...metal evo?

[ThinFinn]

ah ok i see...well then like i've said,all black everything mate!

[roy6]

Dr_Heech & LITS, certainly they must be dry by now, slackards...

[lostinthesupermarket]

Only just. At first light your "patience" will be rewarded.....

edit: Doc.....steel. All black is for undertakers.

[mikecch]

Just introduced Roy's and this contest to the Chinese '33oz' denim forum...spreading the word~~~

[grooveholmes]

All black is for undertakers.

Sometimes that's why people choose black...

[lostinthesupermarket]

Like Dieter from Sprockets?

[beatle]

black, DocBlue..and btw - no front fender ? gonna get messy

[Dr_Heech]

Dr_Heech & LITS, certainly they must be dry by now, slackards...

Hey Dude,

I've got my son over this weekend, so busy busy busy, so they're still unsoaked. Will try and get it sorted this week/next weekend at the latest. No rush eh?

@Doc blue - Awesome bike btw

.

[fardin]

i like it unpainted, but i think the yellow tank looks great too.

[dkatz]

Steel unpainted. No question.

[The Clerk]

I'm with dkatz and tg76 steel all the way

[Happy Hooligan]

what if the bike was painted a denim blue.....

[Dr_Heech]

what if the bike was painted a denim blue.....

Keep it metal, but craft a cool fitted roy denim cover from the leftover scraps (and a duck version as well).

[edit] jeez, wheres maynard when you need him.

.

[DocBlue]

well thank you all for your comments and interrest.

as there is no clear majority, and as i like both choices, i will leave it black then make it steel a few months later, wich wont be a big deal given the smallish tank and fender. (2.1 gallons guys.... ouch)

and Beatle, you are right that is a problem, i will fix that issue in time i got an idea about that but it wont be a fender.

i just realized i didnt even introduce the bike.... its a japanese frame and a HD heart.
