Bicyclettes

[Head Ninja In Charge]

My titanium track bike; still waiting on a spicer Ti Fork, but pretty good other than that. I'm running velocity deep V rear laced to phil wood high flange, I have a velocity aero laced to phil wood, but the recent 35% off ebay coupon gifted me a hed 3 for fun =P

The front half of your bike is too much for the back half. It's like the El Camino of fixies. Still not a fan of sloping top tubes, no hate.

I wasnt really exercising artistic restraint when i decided to throw on TT wheels with red tires. I am aware that it might be a bit much, but hell, its fun and it sounds like ninja swords.

When I run it at the track I use a velocity aero laced to phil wood high flanges. the HED 3 actually goes on my kuota for triathlons.

I've never had any kind of preference for sloping or horizontal top tube; the majority of bikes these days have compact geometry anyhow. The only thing that it limits me from doing is probably leg through frame trackstands, but that's pretty gimmicky in itself.

edit: el caminos are awesome

nawww, that is a commercial for specialized I believe.

[fix.]

So people still ride fixed? I thought the hype was gone.

didn't you ride a fixed gear last month you trend hopping, body building, tantrum throwing cyclist, you?

[powerviolence]

I just got hit like 2 hours ago

my shoulder and wrist might be broken

maaaad road rash

[chim]

details? pics? are you alright?

[brentos]

Went for a nice long ride tonight. Lots of fun. Messed around w/ some shit in the parking lot and ended up blowing a tire...so you guys have any recommendations for some tough tires? They need to be able to handle a good bit of skids and the shitty roads I ride on. I was just riding the stock Kenda's on my TT -- pretty weak, right?

Also, recommendations for some nice fenders? I saw a pic from someone on here that had a black Kilo TT with some cool fenders on it...

Thanks for the help!

and powerviolence, how'd it happen?! Shit's weak, sorry to hear that. Hope you're alright.

I prefer Gatorskins. There are lots of tires in that price range that are decent. As for flats, find a tube that is thick (no lites/race lites) and keep the PSI proper.

just took a pic of my shoulder

i still cant tell if it's broken, but i hate doctors

[brentos]

captain -

How long these gatorskins usually last? Any mileage estimates? And what should I keep the psi at to prevent pops/flats -- on the lower end or higher?

Thanks for the help!

I hate doctors too, but you should definitely hit 'em up if you're not sure...That is, if you're insured or live in a country with 'social' medicine.

I got aggressively honked at for the first time about 10 minutes ago. and he decided he was gonna call me a faggot and said "nice pink bike faggot".

i has a pink paramount

his fault

[keagan]

powervoloance- looks sick

[knucks]

I still have a fixed gear, in fact, I have 2. One is my polo bike, the other is my Kona that just sits around waiting to be built into an SS commuter.

I've been riding my road bike daily since April.

Track paramount or road paramount? Either way, the paramount is solid gold.

one of my favorite stories is from my friend john. he was at a light a lane over from one car and the window rolls down to the guy saying "c'mere.. just c'mere for a second" kind of quietly. he kept convincing him and finally he went over to the window and the dude just yells "faggot" at him as soon as he's next to the window.

[dino might]

^and then sped off? or did they both just sit there for a sec after waiting on the light?

The set I have now has been getting wear daily since early April and they're still going strong. Probably about 5-10 miles a day. I try not to skid too much though. I keep my PSI between 110-120. I weigh 200 lbs and was getting pinched tubes frequently, with PSI at 95-100, so it was recommended to me by the LBS to bump the pressure up a bit.

Powerviolence- If you have insurance, go to a doctor. Even if it's just bruised up badly, it's worth it to know for sure.

[powerviolence]

my arm is in a sling now (fractured) and it sucks to type with

and my shoulder is just bruised real bad

got some medication so hopefully ill be fine

too bad my wrist is fucked, it will be hard scooping ice cream at work

haha

thanks for the input

my boss just ran over to my computer after i started laughing from that.

thanks a lot bastard!

Fuck, glad you're not dead or hurt even worse.

Worse road rash I've ever gotten was when I fucked up going down hill at retardo speed. Completely shaved off the skin from wrist to my elbow and my knee. Scab was like a fucking exoskeleton, so nasty.

[diewhitegirls]

So I've decided to upgrade the old wheelset finally. Thought that these would look good; now I'm just convinced that I'm going to be "that weirdo with the fucked up bike."

Whatevs, I like it. Incidentally, I've moved to 44x14.

p.s. Yes, I know the rims aren't machined.

[hamburglar]

the wheels look overkill throw some black tires on that bitch

[diewhitegirls]

^^^ I agree 100%. I've got some Michelin Carbon's that I'm going to throw on.
