I like the Coppi...and normally I don't really like conversions (despite having one). I think it's the big tubes. I've considered converting my Klein w/ a white ENO hub. But then I wouldn't have a road bike anymore

i could see how it's near and dear to his heart as some childhood thing...how many of us didn't get excited when out parents took us to mcdonald's? of course, we're older now and most of us see some things a little differently...mcdonald's themed stuff is sort of lame, but it being a fixed gear bike, it just seems...like i'm in the twilight zone or something.
i'm gonna shower now.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

One of my room mates keeps going on about how McDonald's burgers are made from meal-worms. It's kinda convincing when he mentions how they started advertizing burgers made with more beef.
Makes me glad my parents are hippies and I've never eaten animals

Yea its mine, my primary (well... only) ride. It's a fun bike, it gets ridden every day. Rode it to San Jose on Sunday with a bunch of others from FGG. My ass is still sore from that seat but it was a blast. Deffinately need to drop a tooth or two in the back.
It sure is fun finishing a bike, I got it to its current state about 2 weeks ago. I was taking a rest from riding around late last night and the street lights glinted off the bars and fork and my heart skipped a beat... <3
yea. im a dork. its official. no wonder i'm single. *goes back to spooning bike*
