no, looks arent priority number one, but i do want it to look classic/retro/vintage/whatever. i dont like the looks of curvy futuristic stuff with lots of labels and colors.
ive eaten **** a couple times on bikes with cables. once i kicked a wire by accident and had to ride home stuck on the heaviest gear ever in the snow, and once a cable got caught in my chain somehow and i ate **** on an old 7-speed huffy. i didnt really know anything about bikes back then though, but im still kind of wary of cables, and i dont have the money for a well-made ten speed. i basically just threw drops on my cruiser for more hand positions and to feel like im going really fast, and i think they look sweet.

if i ever want to ride a really long distance ill want to have a different bike though. i basically just ride my bike to the bar or friends houses or whatever.

it wasnt a very good "should i..." question is all. im gonna run them anyway, i tried my friends and i could pedal a lot better.


How does that even happen?
