Philly C-List, if its still there. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/bik/1739169340.html

Scrodzilla 05-14-10 02:53 PM

Says in the listing that he won't ship. If you're not near Philly, you're SOL on that one!

Philasteve 05-14-10 04:28 PM

ill buy it for you and ship it!...lol

Scrodzilla 05-14-10 05:25 PM

That would work! 350 bucks is a good deal.

EDIT: After the vacation my wife planned to Dominican Republic! LMFAO

I WILL have one of those blue bikes, sooner or later.

I'm in Jersey BTW, so posting that ad was really wrong!

You NEED one. Here's a pic of mine, just to make you drool a bit:

VeloGary 05-14-10 09:12 PM

Scrod, Did you remove or paint over the chrome that was on the bottom of the front fork or did yours come black?

arcade 05-14-10 09:16 PM

^^^ think that's just the reflection playing tricks on you...

WoundedKnee 05-14-10 09:16 PM

It's just the reflection.

Scrodzilla 05-14-10 11:24 PM

Yeah, man...just a reflection. My fork is blue/chrome.

Ska! 05-15-10 12:56 AM

Here is one in Denver with quite a few upgrades.

I like how he lists some of the stuff that came stock on the bike as "upgrades". Also, I dig risers but those silly little bars have to go!

VeloGary 05-15-10 08:04 AM

But it's a "super fast and really fun fixie!" What else do we need?

I know. There's yours and I think one other blue one in the pic thread. I cant stand light blue, but that bike is just ridiculous. I'd set it up just like yours white tires, etc but maybe bullhorns with white wrap....and a brake. lol

Look closely.

Scrodzilla 05-15-10 09:30 PM

Yup, I've got a brake.

I've never really been fond of blue bikes either...until I saw the '08 Madison. Thanks for the compliment!

Philasteve 05-18-10 10:44 PM

So after my "jackass question" im riding fixed for the first time if you dont know what im referring to look it up and get a lol in. Its ****ing SWWWEEEET funnest thing ive done in a long time riding fixed is way better then i ever imagined. I even picked up track standing in a matter of minutes, I guess skateboarding and being a muay thai fighter helped me with balance. But anyway I prob rode about 10 miles and was scared of it being very difficult but I didn't even need to touch my breaks once, maybe there being any cars on the road helped but maaaad fun.
