Strobelite helped get me all setup today and I just got back from taking my baby for a 20+ mile spur of the moment (the best kind) ride. I have to say after the ride I am going to switch it to the freewheel side. The fixie is just too hard on my knees, plus I like going fast down hills. Again thanks Devin for getting me setup, its awesome.

No, not at all. It looked like a Mavic I had on an old road bike. Guess not. Maybe they private labeled it.

I have a lot of friends riding fixed. It's not for me though.

And you'll always just be a poser till you install the cards.

Personally I like the Flourescent Magenta for a fixed. No chrome, No decals, Brooks saddle and I love those clean lines.

Congrats on the new "fixie" ... I have been secretly wanting this frame

Yea I saw those on ebay. Id think about buying one if is was all like superman and batman, but Ive only seen marvel ones.

strobelite · 03-08-2008, 09:54 PM

not a problem Ryan, i checked my stuff, and i do not have a freewheel, sorry youll have to buy one

chauvinist_youth · 03-09-2008, 06:55 PM

My third ride on the bike. My cousin and I road from Temple City to old town Monrovia to Old town Pasadena and back to Temple city. Ive probably put 75 miles on it in the past three days and Im enjoying every minute of it. Today I guess was my first official "good" ride as we had about three people honk at us haha.

You all have to admit it is a sweet looking rig.

strobelite · 03-09-2008, 07:08 PM

still no brakes??????????

do you notice the different hand positions with those brake levers?

hows the position with the new stem?

chauvinist_youth · 03-09-2008, 08:59 PM

Im missing a piece to get the brakes on. The piece which connects on the inside is too short.

The new stem is awesome and Im glad you talked me into keeping the areos.

DownHillPhil · 03-10-2008, 04:36 PM

That looks suspiciously familiar to Ross's bike

i could be on crack tho

roadkillross · 03-10-2008, 05:28 PM

Don't worry about it Marvel is way better than DC anyways! I mean Superman is such a pansy! Now Wolverine or Punisher on the otherhand, there's a couple of bada$$ heros.

Yeah I'm 35 and read comics! So what!

Very cool bike btw.

Ichigo Kurasaki would take all your heros to the trash.

They should make a Marvel/DC/Funimation battle.

I see brake levers, but no brakes...

and no helmet...

strobelite · 03-12-2008, 05:42 PM

i taped the bars and convinced cy to use the levers for more hand positions.

there is housing for the front, but hes missing parts.

chauvinist_youth · 03-12-2008, 06:20 PM

haha I need brakes but I have no monies. I may bring it into the shop this weekend and see if you have the part I need. The reason I deperatly need them is that I ran into a stopped car today while trying to make a left. This guy coming from the other way was in a huge like 15 person van and was dicking around while the person in front of me was trying to turn left. The van was going like 15 in a 35 zone so I timed it so I would go after he got by, but little did I know someone turned right further down the street and was now behind the dickhead van driver. As the driver passed I speed up and realize theres another car and the person in front of me cant go. Then I had a brain fart deciding which side to go on and *BAM*. No damge to me, my bike or the ladies car, but I felt really bad.

Its so appreciated, I use the levers all the time when trying to gain speed from a stop.

OffRoadie · 03-12-2008, 10:11 PM

The levers will also work when trying to lose speed in order stop, but only if you have a brake caliper.

No, I'm not beating a dead horse.
