Our prices = yours prices. I want good track bike (like Colnago or Bianchi Pista - my dream). But it's impossible in my country. By the way. Atom gearing: 48x14 My gearing 44x13 - normal for me. |
Vova,
If you ever find one of these: http://www.bikecult.com/works/archiv...khion88GRP.jpg or (more importantly) one of these: http://www.bikecult.com/works/archiv...yon3aerott.jpg Please let me know. Please. |

Если у тебя нет русской клавиатуры, то есть хороший сайт http://www.translit.ru/ Это транслитерация. Действительно, в Москве никто кроме меня не ездит на подобных велосипедах по городу. Это факт. Вообще я еще плохо владею англиским, но потихоньку осваиваю. Поэтому стараюсь писать по-англиски. Я Вам всем очень рад, а Тебе особенно. Если Ты приедешь, я буду счаслив. Это моя личная страничка, в которой я собираюсь продвигать эту велокультуру: Fixed Gear & Track Bike in Russia |
Hey Vova welcome to the forum. I like your bike It looks like it makes you smile alot and for that I envy you
|
i want one :D
|
Тахион (Takhion) - it's Ukraine made bike. ХВЗ - Харьковский (Harkov) Велосипедный Завод.
It's really Old Skool. Try this forum: Harkov bike forum |
i really, really, really, really like that bike. nice.
|
Hey Vova, i read those forums that you posted on and those kids got really angry at you for no reason. dont worry man. they just dont get it. You should tell them to take a trip out to NYC and race us on those MTB of theirs see who wins. Its kinda funny how against it they are.

It's really Old Skool. I saw the bike like that in Krylatskoe. But it was a working bicycle (for training), not for sale. Try this forum: Harkov bike forum I'll take two, please. (one for keepin' & one for racin'.) |
mcatano,
What about this: http://users.velomania.ru/uploads/Vova_denny10.jpg By the way. Takhion is a hand made frame. They had made only for sportsmans. |
Only made for racer's huh? Still easier to get than that Cinelli.There's only one of those,Vova, and you're looking at it!

I checked the first forum and found this bit translated by babelfish to sum up their resistance:
Some delirious theme... I think, no one not will attempt to try THIS, since "after getting to know perfection, do not agree to a compromise" (S) |
Uhmmm...what was the context?
|
The context is the Vova's offer to let people try riding his FG and the others, mostly mtb'ers, arguing that a fixed gear is pointless, retro, stupid, etc. and that no one would want to try it since they're riding the perfect bikes already.

It's very sadly, but it's truth. |
Vova
This is one of the most interesting things I've read about in a long time. Your bike and the pictures are amazing. Keep riding, and spread the word! |
Hail to VOVA 1st! Emperor of all the fixed russias~!
I like your fixed mountain bike. I want to make similar bike for me. Go and race other bikers with gears, and win |
How crazy would it be to alleycat in Moscow?!?!

Alleycat (al'e'kat): unsanctioned street racing. Usually involves checkpoints, spokecards, and alcoholic beverages. Fixed gear bikes without brakes are common at these events.
|
its a slang word for a race that happens on city streets with competitors picking and chosing their own route between a number of check points...
|
Ok, thanks. I've understood.
I don't know about other cities, but in Moscow alleycat were never happened. I thought of similar competitions. I have thought up a route with 7 checkpoints. But it has appeared very hard and very long route for others. I wish to think up something else in next summer. Fixed gear bikes without brakes are common at these events. |
By the way. I have started to study English language recently. Tell me please what you think about my English.
|
your english sounds fine to me. just learn slang. also, we can be sloppy with the language. those can be confusing. i know little bits of two other languages, and those are the hard things to learn. slang is hard. native speakers often don't speak properly. it can be hard until you get used to that.
