Velospace monstrosity

Eww.

hyperRevue 06-28-06 05:01 PM

wow, that's awkward looking.
Like a giraffe or something.

onetwentyeight 06-28-06 05:05 PM

i like the colors. the only thing wierd about that to me is the stem height. guess someone likes riding upright. i like it.

hyperRevue 06-28-06 05:06 PM

Stem height adds to the built-in awkwardness of a huge frame.

drac_vamp 06-28-06 05:07 PM

Man! first it was threads about FGG and the crazy bikes on there... now we have velospace critiques?! sheeeesh. velospace is a place made by us and for us (same with fgg). if you do or don't like someone's bike, leave them a comment or an email!

drac_vamp 06-28-06 05:24 PM

I'm not *****ing about how his bike is cramping my style or making me look bad. I just think that it has some weird aspects to it that make the whole bike look kind of, well, off. The stem looks akward at that height, the fork is either bent or has really tight **** clearance with the DT, and if you want to really nitpick, the tires are mis-matched.

I love that he's riding a bike. That's a beautiful thing. I think this board just brings out the inner ****** in all of us.

el twe 06-28-06 05:28 PM

Oh, and I love both velospace and the FGG. There shouldn't be anything wrong with discussing bikes on a bike forum, am I right?

onetwentyeight 06-28-06 05:30 PM

i really like the mismatched tires, actually. they complement each other nicely and work with the silver and yellow of the frame. I see nothing wrong with the fork, the headtube angles pretty steep. tight clearance is the ****. i stand by the only thing being funny is the stem height.

and this board totally brings out the inner ******.

i was kinda bummed when my bike was on fgg no one started a thread talking **** about it.

yeah, your post is good enough. so now you're creeping back from your tough guy fashion police stance eh? sweet! too bad it's not an iro with deep v's and phils and nitto b123's. the accolades would be limitless!

this sight increases my outer ******bag.

I'd just like you all to know that, yesterday, I posted a thread on how much fun I had riding 20 miles fixed. It was just a story about this barge of a ride that just happened with me and my friend. A real simple story about a couple of guys riding their fixed gears. I had half the response to this thread. Just some food for thought...

drac_vamp 06-28-06 06:02 PM

there was probably nothing worthy of argument or response in your story about the ride.

this thread's a bit different as it's a statement of opinion, which is something lots of people respond to. also, its a negative critique which automatically pits people into a defensive/responsive position.

schnee 06-28-06 06:02 PM

The guy who rides this is probably big enough to palm your entire face, dangle you over a rooftop one-handed, and then toss you down several stories to the pavement below.

Monstrosity of a ride for a monstrous rider.

sers 06-28-06 06:35 PM

Drinking and dumpster diving for parts don't mix.

What's wrong with having both?

It's not what you ride, it's how you ride it.
