Wait a minute.. You're from BC?

If so, come out to the MC3 chopper ride tomorrow night.

I like the bikes, but I'll pass on the "HURR ELITIST" attitude.

Yeah, no crap... I love my alt-bikes, but I guess I am a "farie" in his book, heck almost every alt-biker that I know owns a road bike of some sort as well as a fixie. Anyway, it's the interweb and everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

But really.....Try going to the roadie forum and post "I like my Motobecane better
than the Cervelo I tested" and see what happens :roflmao:

What does that have to do with the OP?

I guess my fixed gear tallbike makes me a faerie :rolleyes:

sums it up about right, but mostly on the fact that you guys refer to you accessorized bikes as customs when its nothing but a bolt on betty and act high and mighty around other folks

It's a shame that you lump all roadies into one category. There are many of us that just love bikes and riding. I would not be looking in this forum if alt bikes did not interest me. You are doing yourself a disservice by trying to judge a book by it's cover or in this case...a rider by his bike.

See much of that here?:
Classic & Vintage. (http://www.bikeforums.net/forumdisplay.php?f=181)

Sledbikes problem is that he IS what he hates. He is a bike snob that looks down on anyone who does not like or appreciate the same things that he does.

Seems to be the trend with the CCR crowd... arc welder prima donnas who have self wiping asses.

wait, primadonna? ive seen you very VERY much that description, stacey.

It's pretty clear that the lines here fall between those with chops and those without. One side is putting up attitude and pictures of bikes they built, and the other side is just putting up attitude.

Call me blind but I only see the attitude coming from one side. I am a roadie, mountain biker and a BMX'er from time to time. I am also 42 years old. I come to the ALT forum because I appreciate the handiwork. When I see someone say "I hate roadies" or some other group just because of the bike that they ride........well I call that a attitude with no basis. Now I am not saying that there are not roadies with a bad attitude...or a fixie rider with a bad attitude, sure there is. All I am saying is not to judge a whole group by the actions of a few. Take the population of the world as a whole and there will be a certain percentage of aszholes....No matter what there mode of transportation is.

Its pretty clear what you are going to get when you click on any of the forums.
They are labled very concisely.
Im not understanding why this forum is getting clicked on by certain people.
People who build and ride chopps in a world dominated by angry, uptite
Napolean Dynamite safety dweebs and Carbon Lycra PowerRanger
wannabes are most likely gonna have a different attitude. So What ?
Please dont let this digress into Roadie or A&S level.

I just don't get the hatred when all I want to do is look at cool bikes.

Yup, this fixed "farie" just bolts on accessories.

im gonna get me a fixed gear so i can bite him like he wants. then ill be the fairy that he wants so much to nibble on him. i would imagine if i was on a road bike, and he on one of his bikes, he'd be easy to pick out and catch! here i come babeee, COMIN TA GITCHAA!!!

fast eddie having a Hendrix moment.

You're just as bad, so don't throw stones.

Ahhh!!! Can we keep the petty arguments in Advocacy and Safety, please?

Cool bikes, btw. Makes me wish I had the money to drop on some welding/grinding equipment.

you can score a 110v wire welder on eBay for under $200.

i picked one up at harbor freight for 229

Quick question about that, sled:

Do 110v wire welders work provide welds strong enough for use, or is a 220v stick weld preferable?

welds are welds wire works so does stick i go stick because of the learning curve

You are a real *******, you have great bikes but your arrogance means you are not a true biker, but yet a poser.

I think you have overstayed your welcome, please do piss off.

I agree, snap at someone because they've seen your bikes before?

Or, in other words: "I don't like your attitude and thus you are not a true bicyclist"

Too many internet tuff guys around here.

that green lowrider is sweet as hell!!!!
what chapter of the rats do you ride with?

Chicago

You act like 15 year old, grow up ****** bag. Nice bikes though.

yeah but it beats the 45 for every 50 critical massers

Or group of roadies for that matter, but I'm not going around saying "if you're a roadie, I don't like you". That's what makes you a ****** bag.

ugh im not gonna even reply to that, i dont wanna get on the soapbox.

... arc welder prima donnas who have self wiping asses.

That's funny. I like that!

OK, so maybe not 45 out of 50 and *******s is a bit strong but a lot of the roadies I come across have a bit of an attitude. Some of them have turned out to be pretty cool but they often come across as really smug. Stereotypes suck, but there is some truth to most of them. Again, even though I may have a certain perception of a group of individuals I don't judge one person based on that stereotype.

I was commenting on the tone, not the message. While "if you ride fixie or are a roadie then I don't like you" is certainly tuff guy material, calling the guy a ******bag is hardly constructive criticism.

Point taken.
