and refusing to use the designated bike path, I came across a Rivendell being sold by a poor old woman in a wheel chair. She clearly didn't know what it was worth (Grant Peterson being the ultimate authority on all things bike) and I managed to get it from her for $50 and a new PB snickers bar. Before you judge, those PB snicker bars are GOOD!

So I brought it home and immediately began cleaning it up. I removed the shifter bosses and hangers, painted it in leopard spots and put on De Rosa stickers that I bought from Cyclomondo. I sold it to a hipster for $200 and made $100!

I left the lugs as they were because I like them so much more than IC lugs.

I then used that $100, with some other money, to get myself a brand new Bikesdirect Motobecane, with a carbon fork fork!

SCORE!

I call dibs on the drivetrain!

PB snickers are OK but I miss the PB Max bars, and I don't mean Parachuting Buffalo

Dude! You're a week late! (But good story anyway)

It irks me that they made the PB snickers two squares instead of just a regular PB snickers...hence, I'm not a fan.
PB Max was about as good as it gets.
I love me some PB Twix!

Shill.

pb max is awesome - in college i used to pass out next to the candy machine with pb max wrappers all around me - no kiddin

I think you should wear a helmet. They save lives, don't they?

I drewed this Benotto, and I'm funking out my Paramount!

Are you on crack?!?! Well, I suppose you literally are if you're riding a Mexican Benotto.

It's up to you to figure out whether that's a genuine picture with some photoshopping or not. For the record, I found out the 5000's were produced in Mexico, so they're subject to the same BB issue as any other.

That said, let me put it this way: With some careful editing in Adobe After Effects, I can make it appear as if I'm grinding off a dropout hanger in real time - without ever doing so.

-Kurt

Need the info ... always been my understanding that the 5000's were made in Italia. Of course, I always thought the pb Mini-Max was very light, but a little stiff.

You can't imagine what my dyslexic brain did to your post, or can you?

I spoke with with member Benotto America at the LBS. I'm not sure how much of this info is free for the telling though, so I won't say anything further until I get his OK.

The Daily Telegraph ran a story on a character that fits that description.

It's OK to love your bicycle, but not to LOVE your bicycle...

Especially if the diameter of your, um, "seat post" is bigger than 27.2mm.

Problem Solvers to the rescue!

This discussion has ceased to be amusing.

-Kurt

Haha, you totally got me until I hit paragraph two. Well done, sir, well done.

*AHEM* - Gentlemen, we really must get back on the topic of making outlandish, fake claims:

I drewed this Cilo!



(To be quite accurate, it was drewed - not by me - and was stolen from the owner recently. Shout out if you see it in the Miami area)

I singlespeeded a GMC Denali! The horror!



I turned a roadster into a roadbike!



I let my mother sell this on Craigslist!



I should post this in the '80s Thread!



I wrecked a bike!



-Kurt

Cool story bro.



Drewbasso! My first fg conversion.
