what does the tt need protection from? after that, i don't think you really ride bikes.

BUT, bar hits on the tt, locking up to poles, a smidge more protection for your beans when you have to fred flinstone it....

All that stuff's happened to me. I guess they just result in scratches on my bike. I didn't realize it was a problem.

BMX is the new fixed gear. It never ends! No but seriously. Alot of kids here are selling their fixed gear and putting together old school BMX bikes because FG is so fucking trendy. One thing after the other.

Whatever.

its the other way around, id say

[dystaind]

just got back from a small family trip down south.

sorry to hear about charlie. I used to browse the BFFGSS forum all the time... shiznaz consistently brightened that place up.

i don't care what you ride, just ride it safe. fuck fashion.

CO-FUCKING-SIGN.

I have a fixie up and the frame makes me want to barf. Is there anyway to re-paint it or something? Also, how do you do a sick tape job.http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2007/july/1/RobertFord.htm#top

I want to do something like that. Whats a good deal for buying bikes on ebay or craiglist for fix-up bikes? Is 40 $ for a soverign being ripped off? I figured that it wasn't too bad. Also, what is the difference between grease and lube? The guy at my shop today told me that grease is bad but when I take all my shit apart isn't that black stuff grease?

fixed gears are trendy and hipster like, but in my town i'm pretty positive that i'm one of the only people with a fixed geared bike except for my two other friends that are here for the summer before they go back to school. theres no such thing as "hipster" in ocala ... all though gainesville is only like 45 mins away, and theres a huge fixie scene there.

[fix.]

Haha, yes. No tape or money for a Kashimax = bandana.

Yeah. 5 dollars for tape to put on your handlebars or TT is outrageous. I'd much rather buy myself some lunch because looks are soo much more important than performance.

What does the TT need protecting from?

the unpadded bars. they look sooo sick though.

cleaned up my bike.

paint job and changed to drop downs

what's with supreme stickers these days?

[wild style]

The sticker matches their bike locks, duhh.

[vee_dub]

Supreme makes the bike superior and faster....

[le_chic_garcon]

Anyone know where to get multi-colored tape like in this picture:

http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2007/july/1/RobertFord.htm#top

Did he just braid to different types? I know they sell multi-colored tape but not like that. Also, anyone know how to re-paint a frame?

[knucks]

You need to get two different colored rolls..google for a how to.

Got my second bike ever, and first one in probably 12 years. I just wanted something that would get me to work everyday (5 mile round trip). Paid $100 for it and don't think I could have asked for anything more at that price...

[le_chic_garcon]

You should put some street tires on it.

[michaeljkrell]

I guess, but they are new and I think I can live with them for now...

[le_chic_garcon]

Has anyone heard of the bike brand Sovereign? I got one for 40$ to fix it up. I figured that I will re-do the frame's paint job & maybe change it to a fixed-gear.

Anyone know if clinging on to a car while biking is illegal today?

I can practically guarantee it is.

As far as Supreme stickers go. I like Supreme and I like putting stickers of stuff I like on things. I have other stickers too but just haven't been put on yet, fight me.

Lots of hipsters ride fixed in SF. I ride for commuting, I get to work 15 minutes faster than if I rode my purple BMX. The ride is about 10-15 miles and I can easily do that in about 20-25 mins on fixed and about 45 mins on BMX.

[mlproject]

skitching is definitely illegal, but so much fun!

mtbs with street slicks are so fucking efficient in nyc streets. i'm considering doing one fo the commute, but probably not.

haha it was funny watching you grind on the flats tho.

i got a kero kero keroppi sticker on my aerospoke.

that's hot right? heh

[aydo1]

About £300 ? - but everything is more expenisve this side of the channel so that isn't like $600. TBH i think i'm just going to buy a new basic bianchi pista or Pompino.

woh yeah, new bike = better move.

and if you ever get around to converting that other thing... it would make a decent rain bike i guess haha.

dont know shit about bikes, so im just gonna ask: why are fixies that much faster than BMX? or is that just you?
