[murdered out]

[knucks]

I have a black turbo in decent shape i got for $20.

hollarrr

[Wolves]

I got a nice one for free! (:

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

So our LBS got in some Surly Cross Checks in stock...

...I want to buy one, build it up as a single speed, and put some super-fatty tyres on it and go offroading. But considering my track record, I probably should get life insurance first...

re: saddles

specialized makes saddles that have amazing cutouts that allow for blood flow to be maintained. if you like your junk not numb, i'd look into a specialized saddle. they're fly and not too expensive... idk. it doesn't really matter for me because of the whole vagina thing but some of my male co-workers have seen the bloodflow test done and the toupé and phenom by specialized maintain 40% of blood flow whereas the arione and selles drop after an insignificant amount of time... i rode the toupé for 75 miles and it wasn't until mile 55 that i started feeling discomfort.

Cross posted from recent purchases -

I just bought some 1988 campy super record cranks, a 1984 Super Pista bb both in really good condition and some ultra light pedals and vuelta track wheels. gonna run a 42/13 flip flop with a 42/15 both fixed wheel cogs on each side of the hub.

I'm converting an old blue Bianchi into a fixie and will post pictures as I progress.

[Abattoir]

BOOM!

H+son's ???

[maxdesu]

new velocity b52s or something

[m1sterko]

i sweat easily / lot so any suggestions for cycling shorts?

i've been wearing cotton shorts but they dont really breathe well for me

[dane]

louis garneau and pearl izumi both make incredible shorts

[mlproject]

pearl izumi shorts are great. they're expensive, but they'll last and are comfortable as fuck. a good saddle and shorts will do wonders for long rides. well worth the money.

Here's my Windsor Hour. Sorry for the blurry pic.

I've done the following upgrades: Lime machined front/teal rear Velocity Deep Vs, Michelin dynamic 700X23 tires, 17T 1/8" Rockwerks cog, power grips, cheap platform pedals, oury grips, Ritchey riser bar, tektro front brake, brooks b17 saddle, PB Superflash, front basket that I'll probably sell soon

depends if u want lycra or not.

If u want something less skintight then look at rapha.cc expensive but worth it.

this looks pretty bad to me.

and why platform pedals?

rapha being expensive is a bit of an understatement.

anyone have any experience with this?

just wrecked my old bike, and wanted to grab

a new single speed...

not terribly knowledgeable about bikes as of now, learning...

so if anyone has any info about these, please let me know.

cause $344 doesnt seem too bad.

[murdered out]

BOOM!

any more info on these velocities and when theyll be released? 43mm am i right?

[skeetinmynose]

Well you certainly get that hipster fixed gear look with those, I don't know about quality.

Personally I would just buy an old cheap lugged road bike and throw in your old wheels (if they're still good) or get new ones, if you just want a single speed.

[m1sterko]

1 mm more than their competitors!

[murdered out]

1 mm more than their competitors!

i know! i did some research and they dont come out till may i guess..disappointment. i need wheeeelzz

[siq tribal brah]

does this mean the stickers got bigger too?

[siq tribal brah]

[Abattoir]

just remember taller doesn't mean stronger...

all i can think about when i see stupid deep rims like that is how deadly they are in a cross wind gust.

[offmybiscuits]

^^ trooth.

in fact, velocity aeroheads are alot more durable and imo look better/ride better than h+ sons or regular velocities.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

So a Dave Moulton frame popped on craigslist a few days ago. $450.

I just purchased another frame and various bike things-god, of all the times.

[Abattoir]

Every time i hear H+son... i just imagine that blown out rim i've seen floating around the internet.

and i've heard that Keo (macaframa) wreck one in less than a month.

shit's sketchy at best right now. give it another year of R&D and i'd say they'll be bomb proof.

[knucks]

All right so I bought a road bike, it cost a pretty penny, so I think I want to let go off my current ride / part it out.

let me know if there is interest. I am not selling the seat. Pedals I'd like to keep, but we can work it out...only including the red straps.

52cm frame

deep v's laced to formula hubs. rear is fixed/fixed.

thomson stem, seatpost

andel cranks, 46t 144bcd chainring

milwaukee 17t cog

If there is interest in the entire thing, the frame/fork, the wheels only, the stem, the seatpost, etc etc, let me know by email only. I'm not on this site much anymore, I won't be checking PMs.

check out craigslist you can usually find pretty good deals on bikes that people just don't use anymore.
