That looks like a fun project bike.

Fantomas 01-13-06 11:51 PM

If you do, you will probably 'Mertonize' yourself.

It seemed like you already had it in hand from your post. I would not have posted the CL link if I had known. Sorry 'bout that.

No worries bro. I already had dibs so he would not have sold it out from under me.
Picked it up at 7... made dinner after I got home and then put it together over a tall boi.
Nitto b123's and a drop stem. Suntour cranks. formula/velocity wheels.reload top tube pad.
If you come to the alley cat tomorrow you'll see it.

Can I suggest that you put a basket on the front and put an alien inside. Maybe grow a big ass white afro as well.

I honestly don't get what you're saying.

I could not possibly pull off daisy dukes.

I was just in the reload shop yesterday, checkin out some colors for ordering a bag, and got a look at their TT pads.. pretty nice.. but how do you keep people from taking them? zip ties come to mind, but they can be cut with keys!

When I am at work I bring my bike inside.
Usually otherwise I am just in the bar etc.... and nobody would ****s with it.. but I would not leave it on there for more than an hour or so unsupervised.

doesnt seem too practical for most then... its a shame people have to be d!ckheads and you cant ever have nice ***** and not worry.

onetwentyeight 01-14-06 01:09 AM

Hmm... My experience with Craigslist is a little different I guess. I sold some moustache bars on there a while back and had so many people flake on me that I finally had to explain to people that I couldn't hold them for anyone and that the first person to actually show up at my place with cash in hand would get them. It's probably a little easier getting ride of a $35 frame with horizontal drops in this town though.

I don't think I'm going to the alleycat tomorrow. If the GF was working I might, but I know she doesn't want to ride in this crap and to be honest I'm pretty sick of it myself. I will probably not be able to resist taking my bike for a lil' spin after my Craigslist King headset goes in tomorrow. It has been sitting here taunting me long enough.

It's the tubing made of? the tubing? the tubing?

Oh totally bro.. I was on that **** soooo fast... it was proably obvious that I would show.
Yeah.. you ever come on the point83 rides?

I cannot post pics because the software is not on this (gf's mac) and our desktop is all ****ed up.
