Bicyclettes

[corter]

yea, weights the only issue with them for me. 6.2lbs frame/fork, which for lugged steel doesn't sound too bad. it's not aluminum, but i'm used to a heavy bike because i've been on conversions with bmx parts for 2 years. I still need to do research, thanks for the input though, there's not a lot of info online about them.

[knucks]

well for instance an iro mark v frame that's 4130 cromoly will weigh 4.3 lbs or so..fyi

That sounds painful, what's an ACL? Is it some sort of euphamism ?

Sounds like you had some interesting surgery then. Any cool scars?

You've got four ligaments in your knee, the ACL is one of them.. It's common to tear your ACL if you hyperextend your knee. It's extremely painful and if not taken care of correctly will get worse in short time, making it very difficult to do certain things with out pain relievers, such as ride a bike.

I've had a couple friends tear their acl riding...really sucks. puts you out for like 6 months or so.

nice bike though craze, didnt know rouge status made seats lol. I ride a volume biz.

[la-vvoc]

ok gentlemen... i wanna get a road bike...i want one to ride to class and such so not as much for speed as for comfort... i have near zero knowledge concerning road bikes and dont want to spend much $200 range prob...

can someone please help me and give me a breakdown of what i need and what i should look for specifically? im about 5'9/5'10 if that helps with the size and such...thanks!!!!!

an ACL is a ligament in your knee that when u tear makes it super easy to dislocate ur femur and shin

the surgery was the most painful thing i have ever had to go thru in my life, now i have 2 metal screws in my knee and 2 months to go for a supposed "full recovery" although i cant even run yet and i can barely jog and barely jump, i hope it gets better tho

as for scars lol, i have a huge one right under my knee cap where they took a graft from my patellar tendon in order to replace the ripped ACL in my knee i guess its kinda cool idk lol

yea a lot of people do and funny i only found out after i tore my own, i never really gave thought to my knee thinking it was one of those body parts that "never go wrong" now im like super afraid of doing anyhting involving the usage of my knees which is pretty much all sports hopefully itll go away with time

yea rogue status collaborated with Duo for the seat they dont really make seats, this is just one of their many collaborations with all sorts of extreme sports like skateboarding.

thanx for the compliment

orange dkny bikes are everywhere around the city promoting fashion week. i don't know what dkny has to do with bicycles but they look pretty cool especially in the rain.

[knucks]

bikes are the new fashion? DUH

[wild style]

Haha, cant wait to see some crackhead riding that thing down the street.

[MataLeao]

^^ something about that orange bike makes my eyes hurt

[chingon]

reminds me of the ghost bikes. but seriously, I would never equate dkny with fashion week (?)

saw one of those near reedspace today. didnt know it was for dkny, now that i do i think i might go back and steal it to ride to class

I saw my first fixed in Paris a few nights ago at the Nouveau Casino. It was some guy who looked like sXXXe and I was about to go talk to him when he started whooping his friends ass for apparently no reason. He held him up against the wall and jack hammered his nuts and threw his bike on top of him. Then he let him go, then five minutes later started whooping his ass again.

Anyways, I want a bike again. I have been able to find a lot of possible conversions, and frame prices aren't jacked up over here like they were back in the states, which is nice. I know an old cyclist and I am going to see if he can help me track something down, but do you guys have any ideas?

I think they are modified to be unridable.

[seenmy]

am i getting ripped at 388 for the bike forums group buy frame looking at store on ebay at the and few other iro frames,as im thinking selling on my pista and building up sommething else as i have anew wheelset sat hear waiting to go.

[meta]

To an extent yeah. The price should be 300.

[knucks]

those gb frames are not worth the $400.

i got mine for $290 and still felt it was too much, so i sold it.

[chingon]

I hate to plug my own shit, but depending on how tall you are, I have one for sale....

[seenmy]

if it was 6 cm bigger i would have had it, i expext il probably just get round to getting my pista painted and keep riding it

[wild style]

Considering everybody else got them for a buck fifty, yes you are getting ripped off.

[knucks]

so i might get a kona paddy wagon frame.

thoughts?
