i suppose a decent analogy would be a used vs. off-the-rack vs. tailored suit. S/F, CEYA! |
So theyre done with machine?..was wondering that. Doesnt bother me i guess.

It is done by both. The weld and process was so they could meet the demand.
PICS was made for the US market before they pulled the plug on the US market. It was almost $1= 600 yen back then with Reganomics. Losing too much money importing to states. P.S. see both was used.http://www.yellowjersey.org/pana.html . I will look for my PICS catalog from 1988. S/F, CEYA! |
Cool stuff. Id love to tour that place.

I think I can remember the bike stuff they have for sale off the top of my head: 1 x SR seatpost 1 x Messenger radio (if that counts as bike stuff) some tools some toestraps (nylon) a secondhand Shimano 105 road wheel and that's about it. It's more of a clothes shop - homemade Ts and colorful clothes for girls. |

yeah, looking good.

Are those Lance Armstrong live strong wristbands?
|
midget.
|
Yeah, they are LIVESTRONG bands. I'm from Austin, TX and a big supporter of Lance. I thought they could serve a dual purpose of reminding me of his efforts and to keep my hubs clean. I'm not sure who would be most offended, purists or Lance supporters.
|
any rensho + yellow tires = a+
|
Yea thats pretty funny about the wrist bands gbarchus. They either spitting on the organization by cleaning up the crap that gets on your hub, or supporting it by you buying them.
I like it :D. |
Currently building this up for my wife. Scored the frameset for next to nothing.
Its got a few scratches but is in good shape overall. No dents or anything like that. Had the fork drilled by Kalavinka for her and now have most of the parts for it. Just need wheels/tires and a crank set. http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/2417/crocbikeup7.jpg |
Are those Nitto risers? They're not are they. What are they, I want a pair.

I have gold ones on my bike. |
I don't understand why Nitto doesn't import this stuff into
the US. It seems like they'd make a fortune selling that stuff here. I'd certainly buy some. Also, your wife and I have brother/sister bikes. |
