Bicyclettes

This is correct. Just make sure you get one that's for square-taper bottom brackets, they make other ones for octalink and power spline or whatever, and those won't work.

Octalink don't need no crank pulla!

Don't buy that Litespeed... it's ugly.

Did you smack that bitch?

i was about to,

then i looked to my left and there was a school of kindergarteners on a field trip crossing the street.

then to my right a clown was walking about 5 or 6 puppies all doin the puppy dog eyes.

she held up her baby and said "TAKE MY BABY"

hahahahaha ah fuck but i wanted to kick the cab drivers ass he shouldve at least known better.

You need to teach those children how to smack a bitch the right way when disrespected. (:

That's true whether the bike's 6 inches too big or too small as well though, aintit?

Once you put a foot on the pedal, I'm sure it feels way more comfortable, right? Put it out of your mind... bad ball shit won't happen in RL unless something terrible happens that would have happened regardless of what size bike you bought.

[BTT]

as noobs as it sounds.

i can 180-270 skid without leaning.

fishtailing to perfection

[maxdesu]

don't get a conversion

buy a track bike with track dropouts

or you'll be like me, stuck with a chainring you can't use cause the dropout is too short

yeah it feels better when i start biking, the only thing i need to change is the headset and make it either closer to me or higher... and the seat (get a better one and lower it... dont have allen hex key right now)

O man just got a Brooks B-17, I wish I got this alot sooner. Conditioned it and took it for some laps around the block, instant comfort, I know that isn't typical so I am excited on how much more comfy it will get. Anyone else find them slippery with jeans?

I put some Obenauf's on my Team Pro and it actually holds my jeans in place very nicely. I highly recommend it.

haha, they look pretty legit... but i would honestly try to go to a bike shop and buy from there. they will let you ride it around and get a feel for it, and if you pay most of it in cash thye'll offer you a bit of tax discount or even add in a few goodies such as better equipment (helmet, gear, pedals).

starting to enjoy my schwinn beeeeetter.yay

[rockon99]

ooh tax break! good thing theres no sales tax here. i guess they'll be throwin in another bike along w/ a helmet and shit.

gah. in a perfect world............................ lol im still sold on the Pista. Anyone want to guide me elsewhere?

thanks everyone.

[mac51o]

look on ebay. my friend ended up calling sheldon brown, the man himself, for french threaded sugino 75 cups.

ebay, theres only 2 that i found but there too pricey for me. if you can find one cheaper please let me know

try here too:

sold out :/

[Wolves]

They're a 42 and silver. They're not the nice black ones but they manage. I believe they're the stock ones that come off the Bianchi Pista.

[mr.invincible]

Oh, i already got the bike. I just want components since they have a decent selection of components.

[ericdw]

i've ordered from AEbikes before. they're fine. usually lower prices but iirc their shipping is kinda unreasonable and makes them just as expensive as everywhere else. good selection though

[corter]

i've used em too, good guys. i believe they had some sort of hard to find part that i needed

[eightynine]

what do you guys know about atala track bikes, namely, a 1975 atala reynolds 531 track.

[Wolves]

some xpost from photo thread... but I finally got around to taking a pretty good picture of my bike and thought I'd like to share here too.
