yeah, wine bottle corks. dont know if its common knowledge or not, but i think it looks pretty neat and serves the purpose well.

Looks like a sleeker/classier version of my bike.

(which means I like it)

dino!- glory cycles? they're good guys.

[mlproject]

it's not really hard. buy cinelli cork grip.

just keep it tight. leave like 1/2 inch at the beginning to tuck into your hole.

i always started wrapping at the bottom so the end piece was tucked under and the top part got the tape.

are those brooks saddles comfortable? i was looking at one yesterday and it felt still as a board. and $100+. i dont get it.

[chingon]

are those raw denimz comfortable? i was looking at one yesterday and it felt still as a board. and $300+. i dont get it.

same concept

[chingon]

3bans, nice bikes, I hate pistas, but yours looks decent. more pics of the second one??

[mlproject]

a brooks will last for fucking ever and are super comfy. i just got one for my vigorelli. a bit of the old for a bit tof the new. we'll see how it looks.

you didn't waste that bar tape... just peel it off and put it back on. most bar tape isn't that sticky anyway and stays in place from the tension more than anything.

They're comfortable for a lot of people. A basic B-17 will run you $60-$70, so not so bad. Frankly though, I think they look ridiculous on most anything but old school steel frames.

damn youre good. glory cycles indeed. clive hooked it up. you in town?

ah thanks, once i get the caliper ill try redoing that side and see how it works. glad i didnt drop money on another set of tape yet

[murdered out]

since im in the market for a new frame again, was wondering if anyone has had any experience with argon18 bikes...im looking at the electron.

[mlproject]

yeah, that brooks tape is expensive. if anything, you can grab some 3M double stick tape if it shifts around a lot.

my vigorelli finally shipped. kyle, you are the man.

[wild style]

b3ans, what size is your Pista? I don't think I've ever seen one that small (lol). Total mind blow.

[m1sterko]

btw dino, i know you're new to fixed gear riding but how do you like it so far? any wise words for those who have yet to ride

[dino might]

^i like it lots more than i thought. i was always planning on turning it SS because i wasnt crazy about the stigma behind them and i didnt see the benefits about always continuously pedaling, but now that ive ridden on it i see it fits more efficient/less tiring than a SS, and never costing isnt a bother like i thought itd be. think ill keep it, even though ive already gotten shit-talked on the street, and i dont even ride as much as lots here.

is it THAT bad out there? the "fixed gear hipster stigma" that is. here in hawaii, its getting almost common to see track bikes on the streets, but no hate at all from the general public. i dont get it.

[dino might]

^yeah, it apparently is. or at least where i live, where theres pretty much yuppies then hipsters and not many in between. easier to pigeon-hole people i guess

[mlproject]

if you're so self concious about riding a bike, stop riding it. don't waste your time because if you care that much you're just in it for the fashion like the rest of them.

[dino might]

^ 'ay, if thats aimed at me i said im keeping with it despite that..

[BTT]

just started today backward circles, i finally could do one full circle but after that its just an epic failz. any tips.

What gear are your running? I've been trying to do this and I can't even do one full back pedal rotation on a Kilo TT but I've been riding only for a week. I just got home from an 18 mile ride, the weather is great tonight.

[m1sterko]

i think this has been mentioned but any good helmets around ??

im not totally into the bmx hardshell helmets nor the aerodynamic bell helmet type of deal.

looking for somethign when i go on long rides (its illegal for minors to have no helmet. over here)
