Bicyclettes

[knucks]

If you have use for a geared bike, go for it. I'd personally fix that, at least for a bit

[corter]

finally found a mixte for my gf, the guy actually ended up having 2 to get rid of so i picked them both up. i got them for $135 for both, $68/bike isn't too bad considering the condition. the guy is hauling them over too, the blue one's done and the red one will be done before i get them this week, so i won't have to do a lot of cleaning when i take em apart and rebuild. i'm thinking single speeds for both and i'll probably flip one on craigslist to cover the price or even make a bit, seeing as how people pay like $200 in the city for a single speed road bike right now lol

[knucks]

yay heavy bikes!

please listen to so-so. There's nothing I hate more than when I find a perfect road bike, only to find that someone converted it to a fixed gear.

[knucks]

Well on second thought, I would never ride a pursuit frame, so I say you just sell it.

[mlproject]

You have a true evil in your heart ml. I'm almost positive it's because you live in New York.

that is still the lamest argument ever. i'm not from new york, so will forever disregard someone blaming it on brooklyn.

........

i'll also agree on the conversions. i've seen some amazing road bikes get converted into ss or fixed with shitty parts. one kid was riding aroudn williamsburg with a de rosa that he said he "pulled off some old crappy road parts.. i think they were campagola? from like the late 80s" then converted it with formula wheels. i got mad at him.

[hamburglar]

[corter]

If I ever going to build it, it's going to be fixed with Mavic GP4 tubulars rims, turning it into a speed machine. But then gonna cost alot..so i think i will sell it soon.

[the Repeater]

Corter, don't invest too much time/money/effort into those bikes. Mixte's are great once you ditch the suicide levers and road bars, but those bikes have cottered cranks, and that red one would be worth more as scrap steel.

[mlproject]

hamburglar... that should be for anyone... have a link to the video? it is insane!

edit... didn't see that it was animated the first time.

[baskew]

Cheers,

Dubbo.

Gnarlyest thing that Ryan Sher has ever done; not too sure about fun, if he hits that roof he's a dead man...

^Hahah Knucks that picture is so funny.

Was that on purpose, because it partially looks like you're bailing into that snowbank!

[knucks]

No it definitely wasn't on purpose. I was trying to get the ball, missed it, locked up my legs to stop/slow down and my feet slipped out and I fell forward on my bars. I rode for about 20ft like that, trying to keep my balance, aiming for the snowbank because I knew that way it wouldn't hurt..

I'm going I watch that once I get home, and yes I realize I'm obsessed with SuFu and I check it in my phone during Biology class while I learn about meiosis.

I found this exact bike in pink on the side of the road with a sign that said "free", so I brought it home, cleaned it up and everything was working good, shifts good, brakes are good. Gave it to my girlfriend, she was happy cause she didn't have a bike.
