Bicyclettes

[stuntastic]

I was supposed to be there yesterday, but I didnt wanna see Via anymore.

Ride up here foo... Hit a hill with yer shit.

San Jose gets kinda boring.

[wild style]

Bike looks good, Sid.

I think MLP was talking to the dude above you about machined wheels and brakes. Yours definitely look machined to me. No worries my dude.

Is this a good set of predone rims? They have everything already right? Or do I still need to bolt lock? If they are with a track hub they already have the bolt lock built on right? Thanks for everyones help. Im a true noob when it comes to fixies.

iiii would try to find a set of clinchers if i were you, and you were planning to ride street with them..

i myself have never used tubulars, but from what seen and read, it's all glue and waiting...

those wheels would be sweet if you plan on trying some velodrome action...

cheap$$ kind-of-sweet.. haha

How much do those run?

[vee_dub]

How much do those run?

US$200..I think. I am not sure cause I dont live n the state.

[kenthenoob]

http://www.irofixedgear.com/ used to have customizable deep v's with formulas for ~$300 ex. tax/shipping

[knucks]

Oy sid fix that seat position..seems awfully too far forward..

le_chic, don't get tubular tires if you plan on riding in the streets. Not worth the trouble

[knucks]

Deep V's can be had on ebay for under $300..

like these, they're not machined tho:

You can also get some built at a shop (as I plan on doing)..if only I can find some white machined rims only..

Oy sid fix that seat position..seems awfully too far forward..

Thanks. The original stem that came w/ the bike was Nitto pearl 140 something mm... I pushed the seat as forward as possible... forgot to switch it back to a middle position.

[chris_n]

yo sidney, i wouldn't push the seat forward to compensate for a stem that is too long.

gotta have good position over the pedals.

[sidneylo]

Yeah... I notice the front of the seat tips down a bit when I readjusted it back to a more center position.

[chris_n]

not so much just having the seat in a central position, but basically having it so that your front kneecap is close to directly above the bottom bracket when the cranks are horizontal.

it won't really matter for short commutes, but on long rides, you'll thank yourself for getting into a good position.

[doczein]

i just did and finished my first alleycat today. Viva el Che in d.c. shit was grueling.

is anybody going to the Battle at the Banks and the MASH premiere in NYC tomorrow?

[sidneylo]

Bringing the camera... a friend needs some flicks for the rex blog so I will try to oblige. Still not sure if I'm ready to ride there n shit. Kind of intimidating.

[mlproject]

shiiiiiiit... you'll never get comfortable if you don't ride it!

in other news, why the fuck does no one have a shimano bb tool in this fucking city!? am i really going to have to put my old shitty cranks back on to ride tomorrow?

[Dangydang]

i just did and finished my first alleycat today. Viva el Che in d.c. shit was grueling.

how was the race and turnout?

[greentalks43]

sufu alleycat ftw!

[mlproject]

i'm sitting at work missing the mash premiere because my editor is a r'tard.

it has inspired me to write a haiku:

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

fuck fuck fuck fuck you

[knucks]

fuck all the premieres, I want the dvd to come out already. fuckk

[kenthenoob]

secondedededed. would've been a nice experience to be at the premiere though.

[chris_n]

thirded TORRENT FTW

[knucks]

My new 50t chainring is being delivered today, along with an SD card for my D80. If I have time tonight, I'm going out riding and snapping pics. ftmfw

[youreit]

post the links when they're up

[sidneylo]

Ugh it was more than difficult to shoot. Actually I only shot a few flicks but I'll try to edit and post them. Wasn't feeling it yesterday. :/

[knucks]

I'm waiting for BikeIsland (Bikes Direct) to get the new 08 Kilo TT frames only..

My bikecycle

Sidney aint got shit on my photo skillz. Though, sidney, just go out and ride around, it aint no thang, especially with a brake. First time I ever rode fixed was a 40 min ride home through some busy parts of tokyo at close to midnight. Just take it real eazy-e at first and you'll eventually get bored and just fuck it and go fast.

Vivalo frame, nitto handleeee, nitto stem, rip off non leather brooks lookalike seat, sugino 75 cranks, Dura ace chainring and cog, mks cages and straps, gran-compe wheelset, vittrola zaffiro tyres. VROOM VROOM

When I'm being ricey i take the knog light off the stem and put it on the front hub for some spinny action.

[so-so]

what the hell superfuture. Making me double post. And the photo isn't showing up.

[sidneylo]

Shit's so gangster so-so double posted.

So, my legs are spent from going through the bridge like 3 roundtrips this weekend. Should I rest and let my muscle build up or look into getting into an easier gear for me to work with? My last round trip today was brutal... was close to getting off and walking up the incline. >.>
