I would ride that! Looks fast too!

Your saddle/pedal/bar relationship looks just like mine...aggressive!

You split lanes with those short bars?

thanks guys. i bought the bike a while ago from slvoid... and then added a few things here and there. the chopped bars are my favorite thing on the bike: aside from splitting lanes, it's easier to store in the apartment and on bike racks, and just generally moving the bike around.

I'm still kind of new to bikes, but that looks sweet. It reminds me of the Trek PDX, which someone posted about as his new winter commuter.

That bike has the Jedi, stealthy, ninja-esque kind of look that I can't get enough of. It seems to say "If you're not a fighter pilot, then keep your ass off of me" I'm not a fan of shocks myself, but I love the look of this bike. What kind of headlights are those?
