guest the meth epidemic is in full swing! Just last week, I spotted a senior couple riding their new comfort bikes thru Georgetown (on the sidewalks...oooo....traffic is scary!) Both bikes had their "suspension" forks flipped bass ackwards. I stopped them to tell them that the bikes were assembled incorrectly and advised them to the 2 very nice bike shops a block away. She made a face as if to say lets get away from this crazy person. He looked at me as if the INS should be alerted and then commented back that he bought both bikes at LL Bean so they are perfect and therefore you are trying to con me out of something. Sad part is that they have already produced offsprings and the LL Bean Einsteins eventually will.

Me like speed bikes

The brakes and shifters look ancient, but the frame, seat, and that style of kickstand are definitely new.

Are those brown wall on the tires that I see?

kickstand! ROFLMAO. For shame.
|
Back in the 1920's & 30's track racers actually turned the fork that way so they could draft closer to the derney.
|
What could happen if youi rode with the fork like that?
