Damn that's a steep ass curb. What kind of grass is that growing onto the sidewalk, that **** is insane.

Incredible build.. perfect in my eyes except for the pedals (toe clips < clipless) and the goofy handlebars.. but very, very well executed.

Yeah... broke a spoke coming off of one of those the other day. Granted, it wasn't a very graceful hop, but still, they have some harsh curbs around here.

Because the paint chips if you as much as look at it the wrong way. :rolleyes:
It's a 55cm, which is a little bigger than my Lemond and IRO, but it seems to fit me really well (I have hardly any standover, but I don't really care).

Looks great. Silver and black always look incredible together.

I think the dog is looking at that chain and saying, "looks a little slack to me".

What is this, the Sherlock Holmes amateur hour? ;)
Yes, the addresses are on the curbs around here, works pretty well before they fade.
Yes, that's my truck that hardly gets driven anymore unless I'm hauling stuff.
Yes, I just got a new sprinkler system.
And Yes, the chain was definately slack when I took the picture - I tensioned it properly before the maiden commute this morning.

hahahahahaha. Nah it's just something we do whenever somebody creates a new thread with their bike pictures, instead of just putting it in the your bike pictures thread that's a sticky at the top.
Sweet bike though. I really like rush hours, probably my favorite bike for the money.
Good stuff, I ride a rush hour too.
