i lik it i think it looks pretty sweet

doesnt look half bad!

I really like it. REALLY like it.

I actually think the stem looks cool on your bike. I don't really like it usually... but really like it on yours.

Cool.

lol and the paint is already coming off!

I would expect that elves would know how to forge a dropout, but ah well.

You could also be a cheerleader for the high school in my home town.

Looks nice.

Where does that little door in the wall go?

fast and danger.

"I ride in a pool, I ride a half tube"

Ill Mitch is fly, lol

I taped off the lugs with some painters tape and just used some yellow spray paint.

For the writing on the frame I used a car touch up paint pen.

Oh ****!

Stem brakes! That is awesome.

personally? i'd perfer some milk from the milk man's wife's ***s

i could see that stem being quite painful if you wanted to skid

the frame-pump things look like little mushrooms

did you see the thread for putting your bike up?

I'm sensing some Aphex Twin around here.

did you see the thread for putting your bike up?

Is it really that big of a deal?

Sweet Elvish you got there Mitchell! From the looks of it I would say your rear wheel was probably built by the best bike mechanic ever.
Let's go ridin

Andrew

So, can you like, not coast on that thing?

...

I like those lugs!

Is it really that big of a deal?

**** off.

**** off.

Whatever, man.
Get over it.

I don't know how to say this Ill Mitch, but could you be a little more considerate next time and put up fewer pictures for us lame dial-up losers. I'm sure your ride liooks nice, but I'm pretty sure having one or two pics could have goten the messeg acros just as fine.

Nice ride man! I wanna see that thing in person. You and kaibot should come out for a ride some time in the future.

I want one of those little doors in my wall. I wonder whose head I'd end up in?

i like the fantasy themed bike.. i kind of want an aqua teen hunger force themed bike... or maybe i just want a purple blue and yellow bike with fast food all over it...
good job looks great

Some day if I get a bike repainted it will be a Doug Gilmour Toronto Maple Leafs bike. That would be sweet ass.

You need broadband, this is not the OPs fault.

Yes, this is true.

Who are you though?

There is a critical mass ride next friday, the 31st, that we are thinking of going on. He's gonna ride the fixie and I will be on my road bike.

I've never done a Critical Mass ride before, I wonder what the turn out will be like.

Hope the weather is nice though.

The ride meets up at Spadina and Bloor at 6pm.

Add me to MSN.

hmmmmmm. green & yellow?

dial up, that still exists? spend the extra $10 and get some broadband. in the future, i wouldn't advertise it either.

Hey Shiz Chris and I work together so there is a high probability he will show up on a Vacuum ride......as long as Mitch lets him borrow the bike or he gets off his ass and builds his own!

Andrew

wait -- OMG! Are you Ill Mitch the rapper/boxer?!! I suspect so, but please confirm.

I suspect that after ride, you are most happy.

No I'm not the rapper, that'd be pretty sweet though.....

He has some wicked music.

Come on, 'fess-up, Mitch. You are the Russian rapper-extrodinaire, you have to be. You both type with the same barely-literate style and your bike is clearly the illest.

hmmmmmm. green & yellow?

Yes green & yellow.

Have you considered that he probably cant get it?
I mean he shouldnt be *****ing about the amount of pics, but still adsl/cable is still not available to everyone.

It's gonna take more than a couple carbon bar end plugs to lighten that boat anchor..

Obviously you don't know your carbon, nOOb... they're regular plastic bar ends

and the Sweet Elvish is a solid 20.5 pounds due to the old 70's steel frame.

BTW, the name is not made up, the actual brand name of the frame is "Elvish"... I just added sweet for obvious reasons.

Anyone know anything about this company?

I would expect that elves would know how to forge a dropout, but ah well.

I guess the elves only got to paint it. Yeah if elves did build the frame they would have used butted tubes and would have filed the lugs, too.

Holy FuÇk That **** Is Old School

wanna sell me the right side brake lever that matches that left one?

yes you do....yes...you...do.

I would but I only bought the one from a friend.

Gotta build that ****er back up as a singlespeed.
