I think the bars are fine, I dont like the seat though.

FitRider 921 05-03-07 03:26 PM

Nice looking bike. I want those bars.

If you are referring to my bike, I also do not like the seat.

I want to either get a FBM rumble seat, or a United seat. We will see. For now I think I am going to recover it with yellow VInYL!

FitRider 921 05-03-07 08:49 PM

The United seats look nice, but I want a pivotal.

I bet by the end of this Summer most every company is giong to make their seats in two models, one being pivotal and the other being railed.

The United seats look like the Primo Balance seats with cooler logos.

I don't know man. Pivotal seats don't seem all THAT fantastic. If you get a nice seatpost and a decent seat they are almost identical weight. Plus with a normal setup you have more adjustabiliy. On the otherhand, I think Pivotal seats look clean. But I will keep the traditional setup until somebody gives me their pivotal.

Macneil set up-

Capitol Seat-11.2oz
Post (normal sized) 6.5 oz

total weight= 17.7 oz.

Normal seat setup-

FBM rumble seat-10.8
Snafu Jpost- 6.3 oz

total- 17.1 oz

Nice bike. Those bars actually look pretty cool.

wethepeople 05-04-07 09:18 PM

Now to reiterate, Bob Scerbo bars kick ass, 'cept they're to narrow.

wethepeople 05-04-07 09:20 PM

Double post !!!

The lyrics don't really show up to well, but the song kicks dick.

FuzzyRyder 05-04-07 09:23 PM

Look at those big bars! Hahaha

wethepeople 05-04-07 09:28 PM

Sooooooo Goooooood.

FitRider 921 05-05-07 08:39 AM

Great picture, but your lyrics are super small.

gnr rocker 05-05-07 09:46 AM

the blue cable doesn't do it for me

minichamp31 05-05-07 10:29 AM

WTP, your bike is so cool. The silver bars look awesome.

It was a limited edition, I couldn't pass it up, besides, I like it.

No new parts, just a new picture. Testing a little film point and shoot I got for 5 bucks.

I've had it just about a year now, and it's holding up well. I would probably buy another if I wanted another complete in the $400 range. Rhyno Lites are some good rims, I've beat the hell out of them and I'm not smooth at all but they're still in true.

gnr rocker 05-05-07 10:46 PM

you need a new seat

minichamp31 05-05-07 10:58 PM

What kind of cranks are they? They look like TruVativ's, but whatever they are, they're nice.

MadMan2k 05-05-07 11:04 PM

They're aluminum Truvativ's. I'd rather have some 3-piece BMX cranks, but these were stock and they're decent. The seat isn't too bad.

wethepeople 05-05-07 11:58 PM

Lookin' good, but if I were you I would definatly sand it and throw on some clearcoat.

eightdip 05-06-07 05:33 AM

Looks cool, but i'd get a new seat. And those chainstays look pretty long

FitRider 921 05-06-07 06:04 AM

Yeah, I really like that bike as well. The only things I don't like are the seat and that odd sprocket.

The frame is a 80's National Freeform 360. There is no info on the net about it. I like it though. I need new pedals. :D

FitRider 921 05-06-07 11:41 AM

That thing looks like utter crap. The frame is bent, the seat is super high, and the bars are Chicago'd. How does it run?
