I got a fixie. Yea I'm a trendy wanker, but with the gas prices going up as well as my weight I figured I needed something cheaper and lighter to ride around town.

It's some kind of bianchi I dont really know, but the color on it is SICK!!!!

Devon I know you hate me right now, but you can sleep tonight knowing Im not going to put cards in the spokes or run red lights.

Mudman · 03-06-2008, 11:39 PM

now all you need is a mohawk.. and go around smashing car windows.

Alex · 03-06-2008, 11:52 PM

Do whatever the hell you want to, but at least put on a front brake.

Nice bike though.

strobelite · 03-07-2008, 12:18 AM

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease for the love of god, add a brake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can make it freewheel for you, ive got some vintage sturmy archer freewheel hubs, 35mm spacing, that you can have for free!!!!!!

as long as you never wear your sister's pants!

Knuckledragger · 03-07-2008, 12:24 AM

Smashing car windows w/ Lucky Lager bottles is great fun. Oh yeah they don't make Lucky Lager anymore..... damn I'm old! Aaaarrrggghhhh!

Cheers,

C.K.

Pointless drunken squabble.....

strobelite · 03-07-2008, 12:31 AM

i miss the puzzles under the caps.....

and we recycled the bottles to get half the money for the $6.99 12 pack.

i also have some mks Sylvan touring pedals off of my skinny tire f@# bike (R.I.P.) so you won't catch those platforms on a turn.............

chauvinist_youth · 03-07-2008, 12:45 AM

Alright it sounds like Ill be putting the front brake on. I already took a hard spill tonight when I tried coasting ..... oh wait that doesn't work. So now I got a raseberry on my temple and knee. I do think the hub has a freewheel on the other side but not a cog. I really think its a sharp looking bike and definatly happy with the buy. I think Im also gonna make the handelbars bull horns.

strobelite · 03-07-2008, 12:47 AM

please let me fix the brake lever position and re-tape the bars??????? Change he stem if you want a better riding position, you will be much happier with the multiple hand positions of drop bars with two brake hoods.

btw, did you get a new chain yet?

Sure thing, u guys stock blue tape at the shop?

And no I havent gotten a new chain yet, theres been no time for me to ride with my new schedule.

Are you working tommorrow? I might stop by the shop if you are.

strobelite · 03-07-2008, 12:55 AM

yep, im working, bring in the bike so i can give it a safety check and tighten that chain

it looks a little loose. anyway i have the pedals at the shop, and it would be in your best interest to switch to the narrower ones.... trust me.

chauvinist_youth · 03-07-2008, 12:59 AM

k, Ill "attempt" (that means ill try on bike and if that doesnt work Ill drive) to make my way over there without falling again. The chain is loose I have another smaller cog that came with it that might fit better. What time you open?

strobelite · 03-07-2008, 01:13 AM

10-7. 1 tooth smaller, maybe 1 less link?

Bikes, you gotta love'em right?

strobelite · 03-07-2008, 01:46 AM

CPATCRASH · 03-07-2008, 05:46 AM

Be sure to get a mailbag and a big time attitude, if someone doesn't yell at you or flip you off it's not a good ride!
