uh oh! roadie-yo!

[FyrFytrRyn]

yeah, i did it. and im a little scared.
2006 or 2007? redline conquest pro.
new bar tape, tires, bars, entirely new drivetrain, including bontrager Race X Lite GXP cranks. got the bike, bottles, cages, a spare tube, and patch kit for a 219.00. wanted an affordable way to get into road riding, and i got it.

SHIIZZAM!

[allison]

Nice! That's quite a deal for a bike!

[0gravity]

Smokin' deal!

[S54MCoupe]

Where the hell did you get all that for $220??? I've been looking for a bike like that (or anything inexpensive) to convert into a fixed gear.

Lucky you.

[tkblazer]

i'm officially announcing that i can no longer speak to you anymore, roadie scum

[b-rad!]

Wow, what a steal! But Nam, if it makes you feel any better, the Conquest is a 'Cross bike, so he could take it in the dirt if he so desired. Good for you Ryan!

[FyrFytrRyn]

hey nam, you cant do that! get one though. seriously. i rode it 18 miles this morning and it was a blastee. my LBS was selling it for a customer. i went by the shop tuesday between classes and saw it hanging up for 350.00. i left my number with the shop and told my friend to ask how low the seller would go (not that 350.00 was high), i got a call back and spoke with the seller, talked him a bit lower, then the price was right. hey S54M, it was a single speed not too long ago, thus the entirely new drive train. stoaked.

[tkblazer]

ahh ok thanks for the heads up brad... hey ryan, on the up side... at least you don't have to wear lycra since you already have those emo jeans

[FyrFytrRyn]

i cut the emo jeans into short-shorts, OH YEAH! i dont the the body for lycra, so ill continue to wear my mtn gear AND hydration pack, mtn shoes too. believe me though, if i could, id wear it... mehhh probably not.

[tkblazer]

you getting a little self conscious about your body eh.... i've seen some large roadies before that have no business being in lycra or anything elastic for that matter.. you should meet up with glen and mike for a ride

[FyrFytrRyn]

who are glen and mike?

[tkblazer]

gurp13 and painfreak.... the fontana trouble makers

[1x1clyde]

nice rig, nice price.
When are you putting her in the dirt?

[FyrFytrRyn]

dirt? not for a while, i bought it to use as a road bike, like 90% road 10% street.

[Collette]

That's a steal for everything!!

where i come from, road = street

[Pain Freak]

That is a great first bike. If you want to ride on the weekend, let me know and I can give you the details of some of our rides. I watched you race here in Fontana and you handle that really well but most our rides are on the longer side. Somewheres in the 50 miles plus range, but when we do a shorter one of less mileage, you should jump on in. Were not real fast, but we do put the miles in.

Nam's the trouble maker. There's a sign on the front door of the Fontana Police Dept door saying "No Nams permitted in Fontana, shoot to kill"

You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were suggesting maybe I shouldn't be wearing lycra 'cause I'm fat. Thanks, Nam. Now, stop looking at my body.
