Guess what material the rails on the saddle on my fixie are:
That's right Titanium, and I only paid $110 for it.
And I don't jump that bike.

i have to say that every one (including me) have been ass clowns to you. i am sorry.
i have never bent a saddle myself or seen a really badly broken one. so i thought this tread was funny.

I will be very straight with you. That bike sucks just like were it came from Dicks Sporting Goods. My neighbor got one just like it to ride to school and work. I rode it around the street and the brakes have no power, gears are crap, fork dosent even move, and the seat is very uncomfortable.
I got him to take it back and get a different bike at the LBS. He got a Fisher WooHoo or somthing. Much better then that thing.

i see what i did...sorry. i feel stupid
why? if i made another thread id just get criticized for making it and not using the same thread
i donno if it's just me but i find it to be moderatly rare to find threads of bent wheels, yet you can go through saddles in a matter of days from backyard jumps...
thats probably why people egg on you
