Knucks, where did you get that chainring? I want a new chainring and I like the looks of that.

ebay. Seller banana_brain. Her store has a bunch of old vintage NOS parts, shipping and handling takes FOREVER. I think it took 20days for my chainring to come in..

It's a NOS Shimano 600

[knucks]

Gah I still can't trackstand off the seat..

I think I am better at doing it seated, no hands haha

[chingon]

I am new to sufu, I thought I would throw some pics of my bike on here. I'm happy to finally be riding on a 650c front, araya super aero laced to ultegra hub, copped locally for $40. (barspins like what)

[jepmonk]

can anyone explain how measure the rear dropout?

[bones.]

That looks like a groupbuy IRO frame, right? If it is, swap that goofy looking front wheel for a 700c, you'll be able to barspin just fine with 23c tires and not look like such an asshole.

[knucks]

I agree, bike looks good except for the 650c

[knucks]

can anyone explain how measure the rear dropout?

What do you need to measure? Spacing? Just take a ruler between the two drops..soo easy

[chingon]

ha! yeah, it is a groupbuy IRO. my 700c is sitting right next to me, my front paul. and no, you can't do barspins with a 23c, it's called toe overlap. asshole? maybe in nyc, but I actually ride. I don't live in fucking williamsburg.

[mlproject]

crillz.. looking good. let's race. i can't get over that your fork probably cost more than a complete pista though. i've heard scary things about the alter stems.

skidding IS EASIER with a lower ratio. so is doing wheelies. the bike isn't as twitchy when you move the cranks and its easier to lock up.

[kenthenoob]

i've tried doing wheelies, but i can't get my bike up that high. i'm lame.

anyway, mash dvd is up for pre-order if anyone is anxious. i just pre-ordered mine lie 2 minutes ago.

*edit* ah, i'm late on the pre-order news, but for anyone who didn't know about it. there you go.

Still looks stupid to have 2 different size wheels IMO :/

everyone needs to get their head out of their asses about this new york shit. hipsters in williamsburg are already selling off their pistas before the winter.. that shit is tired. the rest of us probably ride more than anyone else. riding bikes in new york doesn't make you an asshole, saying shit like the above makes you an asshole.

now back to our scheduled programming.

x-post from WAYWT my biking getup w/ the backside bag

[JonathanFrom508]

knucks what jeans are those?

[kenthenoob]

they look liek apc's

hey knucks, what's the bag? can't read the blurry logo.

[JonathanFrom508]

o they look better than mine then

[jepmonk]

the spacing. i want to get new hubs, so i'm trying to figure out what size i need for the rear.

[knucks]

Jeans are APC hipster. I had to hem them as their hem was too torn up, now they feel a lil too short at times. After winter passes I'm making them into cutoffs for riding only..

Bag is Backside, size Large. Kemmer on BikeForums.net is selling em..small is $30, large is $40 (+$10 shipping)

[kenthenoob]

oh very nice deal. how does it compare to some of the more popular brands like Chrome?

[aydo1]

haha

my back wheel just came in..

YOOOUUUUUUUUUUU!

[knucks]

Those are some short risers. whats the frame?

[eddyz]

any chainguards you guys recommend? today my shoe lace got caught on my chain ring and i almost flipped over..... i also ruined a pair of pants cause it got caught in chainring before

[kenthenoob]

you could make your laces shorter by tying an extra knot or two?

aydo, new bike's nice. you ride with mike often?

[Mike Sad]

HAHA ANDREWWW!!

49ers much?

[Mike Sad]

oh yea, what did you do wiht your old straps/clips?

i want double straps too, was gonna get some at freewheel iono if i said this already haha

[kenthenoob]

i don't think freewheel has the double toe straps in stock. i just told you that on AIM.

I was in brooklyn this summer. so that's all I can go off of, which is alot more than many. I know people in NY ride like hell, i never said they didn't (:confused: ). anyway, i rode more than you, you ride more than me, who cares, at least I actually ride it.

[chingon]

Jeans are APC

how do you guys ride in nice jeans? my crotches rip so fast, i ride in levi's stf's because they are on'y $30.

[mlproject]

i almost always ride H&M jeans... they have a little stretch and are lighter weight so you're not rubbing yr legs raw. the crotch is toast in 4-5 months though.

don't buy anything from kemmer. total asshole. total twat.

[aydo1]

Those are some short risers. whats the frame?

stuck with my old windsor frame from bikesdirect haha.. painted again.. mostly all of the components are switched out.. (proof that what you've all been saying is true) but it was still a dope bike right out of the box.. 300 no tax right to my door..

you could make your laces shorter by tying an extra knot or two?

aydo, new bike's nice. you ride with mike often?

thanks! yeah i rode with him 1 time.. back when his bike was still stripped metal haha, then whenever i tried to hook up with him, it's always something.. bent wheel this... bent fork that... haha

good thing that's all done with.. RIGHT MIKE!!?

HAHA ANDREWWW!!

49ers much?

oh yea, what did you do wiht your old straps/clips?

i want double straps too, was gonna get some at freewheel iono if i said this already haha

49cm:D yeah i know it looks like a niner's pride bike haha.. those first few wins made me all excited like YEAH!! NINERS.. then fuck the next few games..

and i sold my old clips/straps with the fuji conversion.. that dude was hella happy haha.

that was the first time he seen the njs stamp and his eyes were glistening hahaha

jk he was chill LOL...
