[Nostalgic]

Anyone ride a MASH? Looking to get one. Is there anything better i can get for the money (~1500 for a complete)

[GiZMO]

What comes on the complete?

For the same price range of the mash there's tons of cool shit just depends on how much you're sold on the pursuit look, remember it's just a longer seattube

[GoonjoshGoon]

There is a lady on craigslist selling a Masi fixed gear where i live. She said its in need of minor work but its pretty much a steal. I dont think she knows what she has. I think i might be picking up a new bike soon

[the Repeater]

Put in my team kit order. Hoping that the mfr lives up to the hype.

Bought a pair of Hed's on the Bay and had to back out because my gf tripped and broke the guitar I was going to finance them with in half.

Well i'm just going to buy a complete off of someone hopefully.

(with good parts on it obviously)

but the one I'm looking at is this

good deal?

[Tom is dead.]

very good deal if you want that frame and those wheels. they are expensive/overkill/lame to me so I wouldn't pay $1200 for that, but if you were going to get that stuff anyway then go for it. If you can afford it and it will make you happy, it's always a good deal.

[stuntastic]

That guy is on SFFixed.

It's not a bad deal, and I'm sure the bike is in great condition, considering he's riding tubulars on the street. If you already have a wheelset to put on it, you can sell those wheels and make a good amount of your money back, probably half.

oh word, my iro just shipped. too bad it's 9 degrees outside right now

Siiick. If you can afford so, and it's your size and everything, go ahead. &I also agree should sell the wheels if you get. Trispoke goes for three bills easy. I like those bars.

Conversion or…? This could be a gem!

You're putting grips on your bars right? Please tell me you're putting grips on your bars. Grips or a wrap I mean. Anything.

[jayrock]

for sure.

[NakhedCouTure]

hi guys, i'm trying to build a bike, and i came across NJS parts, are they any good? and how about a Livery frame, anyone know anythin bout them?

[wayoutwest]

What's wrong with unwrapped bars? I have grips on one set of drops, and none on the other. I like both.

[Dex_star]

if you can do it, nothing wrong wit it i guess, unless your hands get sweaty and you might slip... get some gloves if so

i for sure need wrapped bars. i rode unwrapped for a bit while my tape was in the mail and my hands were hurting after

NJS parts are good. livery frame has a bendy downtube that looks stupid.

Wraps / grips / gloves are made for a reason. There aren't really any reasonable benefits of leaving your bars bare. The main reason anyone leaves their drops bare is for aesthetics, which I dont consider a reasonable pro.

As dex_star said, there is the issue of your hands slipping, and depending on your posture/fit, wraps or grips can prevent sore hands caused by the pressure you're putting on your hands and arms while riding.

[the Repeater]

Yeah you can ride a bike with unwrapped bars but you can't RIDE a bike with unwrapped bars.

Wrap em up so you can give 'er. It's an IRO with a babby brake, nothing much to look at anyway, might as well suit up.

[GiZMO]

I remember getting new bars, I brought along my old ones (riser) to ride w to meet my friend and rode home w the new ones (bullhorn) to fit in my bag easier. Riding home was a bitch, it was at least 100* out and the sun made the unwrapped bars so fucking hot.

I'm trying to look for a mtb for riding trails and doing the small pump track and maybe small jumps. thing is I'm coming from bmx/fixie riding and know nothing about mtb's. i'd like something light and agile like my bmx, but with shox lol. anybody have suggestions?

[the Repeater]

Plenty of bikes built for that now. Parkbikes/freeridebikes/etc.

Not a trail bike though, that's like a beefier XC bike. You'll want something w/ rear brake only, long-travel fork, short seattube, etc. Get a googlin. Plentiful. Pick a price range. Cheap ones come w/ steel seat posts w/ detachable heads, nice ones come w/ 20mm hollow thru axles. Also, geared or not geared, your choice. Nice ones will have adjustable dropouts or horz. dropouts w/ a hangar. Cheap ones will be stamped one or the other.

Plentiful. And super fun to ride. Though a trail bike w/ chain retention (dh) will work nicely too if you'd rather have a bike to RIDE more than a bike to pumptrack or dh/freeride/whatever.

[baldy]

Yea, I asked my friend and he said to get an XC bike as well. Said they will cilmb much better. Guess I'll have to take a trip to the bike store.. Thanks!

[wayoutwest]

has anyone ridden fixed (and brakeless) with DVS convicts? considering purchasing a pair of the DVS Keirin Convicts.

[the Repeater]

Much different overall, an XC bike will position center of gravity for the rider in the saddle and more over the front for climbing quickly. A freeride or park bike will position weight for handling a standing rider. Basically jumping a true XC bike would suck, and trying to ride a park bike for a true 4hr ride would be unbearable.

[baldy]

fuk man, i didn't want to do this, but it seems like i need to get 2 bikes... i guess the logical choice would be an XC bike, so i can ride the trails atleast.
