That Trek gets a big yawn from me... but did you guys see this thing! :O http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/1...widebigok7.jpg http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=306287 |
^Rad's an animal.
EDIT: Have you checked out his other builds? They're unbelievable. |

Those wheels make me throw up in my mouth and/or baby jesus cry, I don't care how good they potentially are. |

that pinarello is definitely all sex appeal. that thing would look good in one of those point and shoot, in front of the garage door photos.
hauled ass to oakville this afternoon for a long ride. had a headwind the whole way back. :( |

I'm totally getting that leather cover for my bars when I have the cash (and when I have a set of flat bars to swap out for polo!)

That's what I was thinking :)

Also, the new bike with the internally geared hub is dead ****ing hot. I've actually been thinking about building up something similar with maybe an IRO Rob Roy or something along those lines.

Awesome, what did you do to it? I hope it wasn't in really rough shape once you got down to the gnitty gritty parts. My mom has been booting around on the replacement Raleigh for that one and loves it. I even took it for a spin, those old 3-speeders are fun!

Also, unfortunately I couldn't keep the pedals 'cause they're not serviceable :mad: It's getting a new seat when funds allow :)

I thought the T-Mobile team bikes (Giants) used in the Giro were exceptionally hot and really classy.
... just sayin' ... Oh, and the white Scott Addict was also tits. |

That NYC bike confiscation thing is unfriggen real! How in the hell do they justify that? And arresting two people as well? How can there possibly be a good explanation?
Oh and Rob you're a bad rim decal. |
