They started it. Sorry Wes, but seeing over top the raping of subculture is a peeve, I could not be silent. I DO NOT wish to create a vs. situation

Open for business in October of 2005, Gentei has become not only a celebrated spot in the city’s street style scene, but also a hub for Baltimore’s skaters and bike messengers. Since day one, Gentei has stayed actively involved in these local scenes by sponsoring bike races, a fixed gear crew, and it’s own team of skaters, all natural extensions of the shop’s staff lifestyle.

:lol: Since day one....a year and half ago. :lol:

I certainly don't have any sensibilities... I just like riding and talking about bicycles rather style trends. :D Plus, as I said, to each their own... Who the fark cares what other people are doing/wearing/beating a dead horse with.

I think I'm taking the week off from any heavy riding. My legs are killing me today.. plus I have a blood stained knee in my favorite jeans, two skinned knees, a hurt hand, a 2x bruised thigh (that's right), and a slight head cold and/or allergies. Ugh! It was a fun weekend of riding though.

Yeah well, that's what subcultures are there for, right? Yay capitalism! Not like this is the first nor last time.

I assume they mean since day one of their opening, but yeah, poor choice in wording. :P

Has anyone here spent much time in Chicago? Got a favorite hotel? PM me.

they gotta do the dead rappers toptubeprotector as well...cmon man i wanna see a jam master jay/tupac/biggie top t00b pr0tect0r!!! hurray for makin cash money off of dead rappers and old punk bands!!!

*shakes head*
:lol: Stay off your knees Wes. Bruised thighs? Goin' over the bars?

hahaha.. tupac on one side, biggie on the other? :) Wes-SIDE!

hahaha.. you weren't sayin' that last night! ;) Didn't go over the bars (for once), I was leaned back over the seat on a descent and when the back wheel hit a particularly nasty root the nailed the seat right into my inner-thigh. A few inches higher and it would have been a lot worse!

hahahahaha wes-side...you know east coast owns west coast anyday!

Keith, you gotta start sponsoring our fixed gear crew. We ride around and drink beer and eat dumplings. RAWK!

The Beasts of the East!!!

Give the people what they want because every crowd needs catering like it or not. Things come & go.
I'll get you one for you!
*Nice poster

sooooo... would anyone have an idea where i can get a set of replacement V brake posts for a Marzocchi suspension fork? The fork originally came with disc brakes but has since be moved to a different bike that does not have discs. The fork has rubber caps in place of the vbrake posts. Any suggestions? Should I just contact Marzocchi Canada?

I probs got some at the shop let me check tomorrow.

Shweet that would be great... thanks a ton!

He said he was riding "pretty fast" hehehe.

The lady who wrote that article did a pretty terrible job, or just a lazy one.

It's funny to read. Or maybe I am just really tired and delirious goodnight.

Good deal on CL for someone looking for a Toupe saddle.. when shopping for saddles recently, I saw that these were about $175 new
