This is the new frameset I'm going to be building up. The wheels are from my other build, just to get a sense of what it'll look like.

It's set up for riding laps and that's it. I don't ride it on the streets like that. I have a nitto Pearl and 2" risers for the streets.
And WTF? The frame fits me fine, not a kmc chain [wipperman idiot] and I have a clipless setup I throw on too. Clowns. Keep talking s h i t losers.
edit: I forgot this was bike forums, the haven of botty boys and haters.

your bike is so full of energy it can't even hold still
…plus it looks like it goes so fast, you wore down the tires to the rims.

I actually have no idea what the frame is, columbus is stamped on the drop outs but otherwise the frame is completely unmarked.

well this is my introduction i guess. there are a lot of things about my bike that you guys could rag on me about, i could probably list them all right now. it is small hence the large amount of seatpost and low bars to stretch me out more, and i'm making it a sticker bike so it shall be covered soon (i think sticker-covered beaters are sweet). you guys can list the rest if you want...
the san jose in the bg is my roommates and the cross-check is mine and shall be fixed/free soon (have it setup for long rides currently hence the 2 bottles). i cannibalized a trek 1000 for most of the current surly components, and the front wheel is on my beater.
-oops- forgot the pics
oh yeah, and the brooks saddle is from the 70's. my dad won it in a triathlon when that's actually what everyone rode on. he had a plastic seat and never took the time to break it in so i got it brand new!

or maybe those who jack their saddles up so high they're standing on their heads? i can see where this might be an advantage for the 'bottys'...hey look! it fits purrrrfectly.
or maybe just the plain ole' name callers. that'll shut me up every time!

Jacking my seatpost? My seatpost had ONLY 7" out of the ST to the center of the rails. Most bikes have a ST crown of at least an inch or so, any given bike has between 5" - 7" of seatpost. Dunno why you're being so f u c king critical, but chances are, you'd never say that **** to my face, so I'll take it as envy. Little b itches.
Also, that frame fits me fine. That's all that matters. Get the f uck off my jock
That **** may fly in the sticks son. Quit running your mouth.

The fact that you respond so angrily only makes them respond back.
If you really want them to stop, then take it with a grain of salt.
edit: If you can't take a critique, stay out of the "jackass FGG bike of the day" thread. What you are doing here is what they are doing there, only on a smaller level.

Nah, i think it's funny. This whole internet generation amuses me. People run their mouths all day on forums, but in real life, they clam up and act all anti-social.
I like it when kids think because I used the word "racing" I mean it in the purist sense. In reality, I mean racing in the sense of I wanna ride laps in Prospect Park without my risers.
Regardless, they live in some suburbs in VA and ride their bikes 20 miles a week...
