Bicyclettes

[wild style]

Is your brake rubbing?

[Guest doubletap]

my bike, i like it.

[kenthenoob]

i like your bars. what's your gearing?

[stuntastic]

You still want the bullhorns?

[kenthenoob]

You still want the bullhorns?

yes! yes! yes!

[stuntastic]

Uh oh boob.

Not Answers but they are mighty nice...

My Pake is gonna be all black soon. Well, mostly black.

Ride safe and fast everyone. The streets are empty, but theres a lot of old people on the road...

Who the hell trusts 3 late 60 mid 70 year old women to drive...

Wish I could ride today. It is cold (which I usually can deal with) but my fixie is back on campus and I'm home for break. Cold + riding my dad's road bike does not sound appealing to me today.

I dunno, something's weird about those bars. They're like arc shaped or something..weird.

[papa smurf]

yes i know its going through an ugly phase....

[wild style]

They look like flat bars with a lot of sweep that are positioned wrong.

[knucks]

yes i know its going through an ugly phase....

Is that a swobo? I can't tell, weird angle. It also looks small as hell.

I think I would like it more if the stem and seatpost were not black.

this just in from japanland:

gran compe SS open tubular 1 all-black 1 all-white, all white spokes, hub cleaners

[knucks]

I don't get that whole hub cleaner thing..

[Icicle Cubicle]

you must not bathe much.

[chingon]

yes i know its going through an ugly phase....

what size is this frame and who makes it? I have a short friend who is looking for a track frame...

[stuntastic]

Thats the Swobo Sanchez.

To get that bike out of the ugly phase, chop those bars down and dont try to over match the colors on the bike. Esp that kind of blue.

don't get rear-ended again

lol, i told you i like arc bars. haha

there's somethign appealing about them. but doesn't work well on a lot of bikes :|

[vee_dub]

hey ur hub clean thing isnt it just a BB cleaner?? or is it special?

[dokydoky]

You know what? This will decimate all... after we put about fifteen grand or more under the hood. If we have to, overnight some parts from Japan.

[rcpaskus]

i know so little about bicycles...but want to know more.

other than this site/thread, does anyone know of any good sites to learn the basics?

[ie different brands, styles of bikes, parts, etc?]

[dokydoky]

There's definitely a good knowledge base at bikeforums.net, but most of the people there are such goobers that I can't stand to read it half the time. I've learned a lot form lurking on lafixed, and they're a cool bunch of people, so I'll definitely recommend that even if you're not in LA.

[ericdw]

the fixed gear single speed forum on bikeforums.net is brutal. i've asked a couple questions after searching for forums, and i've either gotten made fun of or ignored. haha

i just post my dumb questions here and hope MLPROJECT or someone else that knows his shit answers me.

[Icicle Cubicle]

haha. BFSSFG and SF are two polar opposites as far as bike knowledge. bikeforums knows too much, superfuture doesnt know enough.

[shwanger]

my recent bicycle incident...

just throwing it out there, how do you prepare for winter with your bikes? essential gears, secrets, rituals, i wanna hear it...

looks like tyou should have asked that question a few days ago... what happened?

i'm gonna change my tires to 25s, but that's about it... rely on my break a little more... but i only ride when it's not bad out, i don't bike to get around, just to ride casually

[Guest doubletap]

shwanger , Damn son! is that a lip ring? if so good thing it didn't split ur lip.

i like your bars. what's your gearing?

48/17, thanks, they chopped too. here's another pic.

[knucks]

Ya those bars remind me of shitty mountain bikes. I'm not a fan of such a flat section. Whatever works for you tho.

[wild style]

Sweep, not rise.

[papa smurf]

what size is this frame and who makes it? I have a short friend who is looking for a track frame...

its a swobo sanchez and its 52cm it comes in 46 and 50cm too though...

thanks but since i already have the rim and matching shit what would be a way i could make it look better by building off of what i currently have?
