Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - holy cats, this bike is hot!!!

i was just playing around in MSPaint and after about an hour i had this:

Well fellas, it looks like I'm out of a job.

BIKE GO FAST VROOOOM!!!!!!

(note the hot pink spoke nipples, chainring bolts and bartape)

some days, when im really down, i wish it was that simple.

If you sloped the top tube Karsten would buy it.

I'll let you tour on that thing... Sheesh, it's wose than my bike, ouch!

Speaking of tour...LUCKLUST - you should have PAYPAL in place so I can send you money. Don't make me buy a stamp, dammit. PM me something to get your address/PAYPAL/whatever...

that fork rakes more than a chopper

You can use credit card by going to my site http://www.aidslifecycle.org/1948 and clicking on "make a donation" underneath my total, which is looking kinda puny :(
Otherwise, you can Paypal me, my paypal name is lucklust@yahoo.com

Thanks so much guys and gals

That thing is way too much fun.

here's one that i designed! i've been thinking about this one for a looong time.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Do you test ride them after you draw them?:rolleyes:

There's a different cyclist-generating CAD java thing you have to use for that.

and let tomorrows dreams, become reality to me.>>

Vintage Sabbath. Very good.

Anyone having trouble running the bikeCAD on their computer? I can't seem to get the Java thing to install without an error message. It's cold and rainy in Minneapolis and I have to procrastinate a big paper today. Thanks.

running XP?

Yeh, I've got XP. I've run through the java plug-in install process several times with no success. I get a "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" in the applet. I'll try later on the GFs computer and see if I can play with it on there. Too bad a little white lightening on the computer won't make it cooperate.

i was just playing around in MSPaint and after about an hour i had this:
Where are the tires? and the cool paint job? decals? Seriously though looks nice.

need I say more? Check out this winner. I cut out all the stops here...

Top tube doesn't slope and that salmon color is gay

I use the Sun version of Java Virtual Machine. It is free. And good. But still not as good as free, good beer.

I'll let my 6 year old know

your six year old drew that!?

only posers use tires. sheesh... :rolleyes:
It that why all the cool riders laugh at me and don't let me join in the fixie games. That must make skidding easier. ;)

']I'll let my 6 year old know
165, don't bs me to make me feel guilty. (if your six year old did that it would be a trike)

My kids like the smooth lines of track set up...no brakes, no gears. Just clean steel. I brainwashed them.

165, you are a legend, beyond hip. Are you breeding a new generation of fixers bent on world domination?

The sad (or awesome) thing is that I'm not even close to being married yet and I'm already thinking of ways to raise my kids as bike geeks.

It's not that hard, my two year old thinks daddy's bikes are the coolest things ever. You should see her hop up and down when I pull out the bike trailer. For the first time ever this weekend we're going to take both of the kids, my son is 10 months old and we have deemed him old enough.
I don't pull with my fixie though, I use my SS mountian bike for hauling duty. Still fun.

Got yas beat.

Thylacine, I love the tagline "Visit Thylacine Cycles - It's a drug against war."

Well, I'm an old KMFDM fan, and anyone thus inclined might recognise my avatar. Thank you Brute. Plus, I always thought it was funny, especially in the mid 90's how many "Well, we used to be aerospace contractors but now we make bike parts" companies there were. Made me think - "Well, you've come to the wrong place, dumba$$es".

Very nice, what will the 221 cost in USD?
