I hope I do. If all my parts aren't at the shop by the time I get home, I'm going to flip out.

Deal with it. A new bike check thread was made because the other thread was overloaded, just like the the thread that was replaced before it. When this bike check thread is filled up, you (Kinetik) can post a new thread. Also, I can not post pictures of my bike because I am currently on vacation in Florida. I hate you so much. You have no idea. Threads don't fill up. You just wanted to take my thread away from me and get all the glory.
I hope you accidently ban yourself. THIS IS WAR!

If threads do not fill up, why did you make a new bike check thread last time?

:rolleyes: That took all of 5 seconds, you guys are quick. I happen to be having problems with "it" so hopefully you won't be seeing it much longer.

Wow. That thing has massive dropouts, a massive sprocket, and a massive stem. Oh, and it also has one-piece cranks. That might contribute a bit to why you are having some difficulty with it.

Yeah it is the sprocket. It's an 02 gimme a break. What I meant by saying "Don't even say it" was don't even mention the dropouts, yet you do every time I put up a pic of it, I GET IT! :rolleyes:

They are kind of hard not to notice. If the bike is giving you such problems, why not just buy something new?
yea i dont get why they make the drop outs so big.

Need pictures.
FitRider 921
07-03-07, 10:00 AM
I can't have pictures if I don't have my bike back yet. That is why at the top I said that this is what it should be.
well hurry up and get ur bike back. call the LBS like everyday and ask if its done and then they will get it done like the day the parts come in
FitRider 921
07-03-07, 11:11 AM
They said they would have my parts in well before I got back from vacation, and they didn't even call for them. They better give me one helluva discount.

07-03-07, 12:19 PM
So did you get a 12t freewheel then?
FitRider 921
07-03-07, 02:03 PM
No, I made an error. My bad.

July 4, 2007.
What better way to celebrate the holiday than with getting a new bike.
Out with the old...

Aside from those cranks, the bike actually looks pretty decent.

Fit-
It's gonna take some time to get used to the 2pc bars. I've always had kneesaver types. And not having a front brake...
FitRider 921
07-04-07, 03:06 PM
Yes, I know what you mean. It will take a couple of weeks to really get into the flow of things. I have to get used to 4pc bars now.

07-04-07, 04:12 PM
those cranks look sick fit
FitRider 921
07-04-07, 04:54 PM
I didn't know that was the top of the line complete. Unfortunately, it has Snafu cranks. I don't think I want to know how much you spent on it after looking at the parts list. I would much rather have a Flow.
KinetikBiker
07-04-07, 09:18 PM
Niiiice new bike.
Any chance you'd be selling those Profile cranks on the old one? PM me if they are 175mm and Profile.
i like the cranks on the new bike

I think they'd look better if they were white.
FitRider 921
07-04-07, 10:25 PM
That's actually a good idea, although they look kind of fat.
eightdip
07-05-07, 06:29 AM
That's really nice, a lot better than your old bike haha. Although that seat must get in the way being that high. I understand people with high seats but It's just going to get in the way at that height

The cranks are fat, if that's what you are referring too. Even uglier then the Hollowbites i've got. SNAFU ....pffffffffffffffffff.
All those bikes look awesome.

Okay, atleast it wasn't just me.

thats a great bike excluding the money you paid for it. The cranks would look cool in white.

07-05-07, 02:57 PM
Wow. I just looked how expensive the Blend is.

Wow. I just looked how expensive the Blend is.
shocking isnt it?!
FitRider 921
07-05-07, 03:07 PM
$1000? I think I'd save some money and get a Flow Street.
I agree it msrp's for 1100 i would just buy a Fit Flow Street, and spend like $400 on upgrades in the future.

Hah. Most of the time you do all the hating. So ever once in awhile i don't feel bad.
FitRider 921
07-05-07, 09:31 PM
Haha good call. I don't hate on too much anymore.
