View Full Version : Just kidding

I was bored yesterday, since I spent the day at home waiting for my girlfriend to call me to pick up her and her daughter from the hospital. Rather than waste the day, I started tinkering with the various bikes I have lying around that need some work. After greasing the headset bearings on my Windsor, I threw this flat bar on it, just for laughs. I'm not a fan of flat bars on road bikes, (I have bullhorns on order for this one) but the red and yellow Easton logo certainly goes well with the red ODI clamps and yellow paint.

Would probably look better (cut down a bit) on someone else's bike, but not mine.

Hey, I was bored. I'm going to be Mr. Mom for a few more days, which means no riding. Right now, I'm rebuilding all the old pedals from my spare parts boxes.

Looking at the picture without actually reading your post yet, I had this exact thought!

Well, I just want to remind everyone that I posted first (after the OP of course) in this greatest of all threads. I think that makes me 7 times cooler than you, but 1/2 as cool as the OP which makes him 14 times cooler than you and exponentially cooler than everyone in this thread by varying degrees.

Oh and das_pyrate (http://www.bikeforums.net/../member.php?163459-das-pyrate)? I'm not liking your sarcasm. Unless of course it isn't sarcasm...in which case, hey hoo, cheerio! Carry on.
