Bicyclettes

[chingon]

alright, got them back:

[chingon]

and these less serious ones

[xxandyarmada]

Im new to fixed gear, and have yet to do a critical mass or anything, but do people really sit around and do these tricks? It seems really dumb. Im sure they are difficult and what not, but when you look at say a skateboarder do a trick, dont you feel a little stupid putting your leg over the handlebars?

I guess its sorta like how skateboardes look down on rollerbladers.

No hate...its just funny to me to see people get all excited like they just discovered fire when they do a backwards circle or something.

definitely agreed, I love riding just as fast as I can fucking go way more, but tricks are fun to just dick around with. except leg overs, they're the most uncomfortable shit ever, there is no incentive to do them.

[hamburglar]

i do leg overs in the street it looks siq drifting turns like that.

anyways i think im done for now....

and....

[xxandyarmada]

These are just a few of the pics I took, but I have a shit load plus some video of the skids and sprints competition. Its late so Ill put up more later. Anyway, heres a taste.

[powerviolence]

i am still learning about bikes

but I was wondering if there were certain things I would have to look for in a frame to make it fixed gear

for example I wanted to take fixed parts from my giant bowery to make my apollo steel frame a fixie

thanks

Unless you're looking to drop money on an eccentric hub, the most important thing is to look at are the dropouts. Horizontal dropouts are the easiest to work with, completely vertical are impossible unless you get your gears and chain in some sort of perfect harmony (don't recommend trying this) and dropouts in between are feasible, but less than perfect. Never use a dérailleur with a fixed gear.

In terms of frame necessities, that's the only thing that I can think of. Things like geometry are matters of preference and there is no must have geometry.

[mlproject]

where'd you get that sufu seatpost? holla!

hey you should send some of your mixpression shots over to Tracko. looks like it was fun!

[chingon]

new frame, getting powdercoated tomorrow in mint green w/ silver flake. Cinelli lugs, columbus...

[Kitsune]

i didnt even know there was a bicycling thread here. Here's mine:

finally found a place for all my supreme stickers, fuck the haters

i have since replaced the bars with risers and removed the rear brakes though

London cried when it saw this.

haha jk. IMO, you should've left the flag uncovered. Don't you find the white seat to get dirty? I turned the seat on my Langster blue in 10 minutes

[spyversusspy]

[sidneylo]

I turned the seat on my Langster blue in 10 minutes

haha, for some reason I got the bike in and i wasn't too thrilled with the decals. the bike rides amazing though; I used to have a bianchi pista and I much prefer the langster.

Yeah the seat is pretty much dyed indigo.

[sidneylo]

yea i think so.

YOU MEAN MAI BAIKE?
