NO YOU STFU.

[stfuken]

NO YOU STFU.

is that saddle really comfy?

from what ive heard its a bit on the heavy side if you care at all about that but yeah, its real comfy and fits the color scheme im going for.

and im not telling you to stfu its like hadoken but "stuh-foo-ken." its a shut the fuck up fireball.

[kenthenoob]

ah.. i see.

happy birthday meta!

Those purple bars are actually upside down, believe it or not. They were manufactured for some skid-happy Tokyo crew that was hitting their legs on the drops.

No hate, pure truth.

They are Nitto b123's (drops.) I know the team you're talking about too, and no it's not the one you're thinking of.

^^^ are these parts you have or are going to buy? or on a bike you want to buy?

all parts will get you down the road but none are fantastic.

are the wheels hand build ? if machine built they are likely to go out of true quickly ,they are the rush hour wheel set no? they need to be trued a lot unless you ride real easy and don't weigh a ton.

go pics?

yeah they're parts on a bike that i may be getting. i know they'r probably not the best parts around, but you get what you pay for. what would you say's a fair price to pay for something like that taking into consideration almost everything is brand new?

give or takeee..$300 and get urself MKSpedal/toe clip..up and runnning.

[monkey nuts]

$250 tops but I would spend my money on a Kilo TT (ebay) if i was low on cash or save a few more buck and get a Bianchi pista or a KHS flite 100.

you will never get your money out of that when and if you want to upgrade.

just my thought

what is this person asking?

PM me if you want.

[kenthenoob]

damn...36t chainring and 18t cog? that's a lot of pedaling you're gonna have to do...

[knucks]

ya that's polo gearing right there..

[kenthenoob]

do people play polo on their regular gearing or do they swap out the gears just to play? do others just have a polo-only bike?

[mlproject]

a lot of dudes have a polo only bike with some cardboard ghetto disc wheels so they don't get broken spokes, etc. a lot of dudes will just switch out their gearing though... going up to like a 22t cog or something

[Crillz]

F#%^ i completely forgot yesterday was bike kill. my friend and i, instead, spent the night roaming around abandoned parts of the west side bombing and complaining about how bored we were. wow we are idiots.

[knucks]

There's only 1 guy who I play with who has a bike polo bike, but then again he also has 40 spare frames in his basement and 11 bikes of his own.

I play on my regular gearing, but as soon as I get a new frame I'm making a bike polo only bike..

As far as the dangers on mallet into spokes and etc: a guy was going for the ball and his mallet went into the front wheel and he flew over the handlebars.

This other time 2 were going for the ball and 1 of the guys tried to get the ball through the other's wheels and blew the valve cap off the front wheel

[monkey nuts]

trying to get rid of this

sorry if this is wrong for this thread

PM me

[kenthenoob]

that is pretty fucking hardcore. have there been any fights from people hitting each other in the leg with the mallet?

woops! the chicken hut was on fire afterwards. totally fucking hostile.

@ken: bike polo up here gets pretty violent. its almost a game of foot down at the same time.

[chingon]

that t-19 stuff is super legit. what's the production on those?

[knucks]

naw, we're pretty friendly bout it. there's not many of us so we gotta keep in classy

[mlproject]

the tee-19 stuff is kind of weak. they should have gone for jaguar posts and stems, not the lower end models!

[monkey nuts]

well you can get a jag in black now if you want one.

but the flat surface to engrave on and the fact that the stem aren't made any more makes them unique.

don't think they are weak, its just not what everyone else has. but go get yourself another jag like everyone else.

your on this site probaly because you collect sneakers or street wear of some kind.

and this is just some colab between tee19 AND nitto that was a limited run.

so why the hate?

[hipset]

you have 6 posts, most of them are you trying to sell this and a huf hat!

check yo self!

the tee19 stuff is cool, but why pay more for another crews shit, thats called hype man

^^^ What happened to riding?

[chingon]

shit dude, yeah it's called hype, but it's also called limited edition and no one else having it. I was bummed they weren't jag's either, but it's still a sick half-grouppo.

[hipset]

dude, i was so tired and on top of that i was visiting my sister. that day i rode from the haight and charged from twin peaks and rode out to the golden gate bridge and back then bombed powell. it was like my sf/mash pilgrimage. it was heavy for me, my legs were more sore than i ever imagined. i'm in shaped, but all the stopping fucked me up. san fran brakeless was crazy.

i'm really bummed we didn't get to ride actually. i'll be back soon though

i bombed this hill of waller to get some shots, like two streets above divisadero. i blew through the knuckle and bomed this second super crazy hill right into divis. i had to go around the first lane of traffic, the swooped left. almost smashed into a mini cooper. the girls in it were screaming they got so scared.

[aydo1]

speaking of nitto jags..

ty craigslist $50

[kenthenoob]

bling bling* very nice pick up, andrew

[chingon]

yeah, kudos on the grab, that would go well with my answer pro tapers
