i just got pulled over for doing 45 in a 35. bullshit

[theetruscan]

So I've decided to upgrade the old wheelset finally. Thought that these would look good; now I'm just convinced that I'm going to be "that weirdo with the fucked up bike."

Whatevs, I like it. Incidentally, I've moved to 44x14.

p.s. Yes, I know the rims aren't machined.

Does anyone know what that vinyl sticker sheet thing is called to cover up the decals? My decals are under the clear coat but the bike is just white so I think it'd be pretty easy to cover up.

"get the fuck out of the way!"

I will defend my right of way

that heap of steel i'm gonna slay

i'll thrash you, i'll bash you

i'll kick in your doors

break out your windows

apologize for polluting my air

After the ride that I just had, this is cheering me up. 24 miles of stupid motherfucking people. Unfortunately, it wasn't limited to cars, but included bicycles too.

I'm not familiar with the Ionos' strap, but it looks really similar to a Rudy Projects aero helmet that I've used and if it is, it's super adjustable and sits under that bone at the back rather than on top of it.

A buddy has one of these suckers - it's pretty sick. Any idea where to get these in the states (other than ebay)?

Hm, white, grey, red or RAINBOW?

On another note... biking-specific jeans, anyone?

Now who wants to try to talk Swrve into a raw selvage model?

[kenthenoob]

dkatz, you live in berkeley? do you know a hubert or takato?

[jewbagel]

Does anyone know what a decent powder coat job on a frame costs?

Thanks.

No i do not.... do tell!

[diewhitegirls]

You're right, I was. Riding behind people that are swerving on a bike path while wearing their iPod is definitely the wrong thing to do.

[kenthenoob]

dang 510 posts represent!

hubert is a friend of mine who rides fix and is friends with takato, whose dad owns a bike store down on.... i forget the street, but the name of the store is jitensha studio:

i think takato is in japan right now, but if you don't have people to ride with, find a way to contact them!

Hah! Fuck yeah! I almost don't want to post this since it will make it post 511.

Man, I have passed Jitensha Studio so many times but I'm always on my way somewhere and I always think "I should really check that place out!"

I would love people to ride with... but I ain't got no fixie. I got gears. 12 of them. Though it might soon change to 6.

getting a new wheelset. thinking of picking up one of the ones on ebay because of the 20% cashback.

most of the wheels are:

rims - velocity deep v's

hub - Formula hubs

spokes - DT Swiss 2.0 Stainless (32)

Come to about $240 with shipping. $240 * 20% cashback = 192

Anyone have any other suggestions for a new wheelset?

My new bike. Coaster break. I love the "ccm" design of the front chain wheel. It's fun.

[powerviolence]

that's a great lookin cruiser!

nice and clean, i want it!

[HEWSINATOR]

Back to helmet discussion, I have the Catlike Compact and like it. Whether the strap at the back adjusts or not, you will still need to try on. It is for smaller adjustment.

Thanks man.
