my rear wheel is too out of true, i had to have it so loose, and i never use it any who, but it would be a lot safer incase the front failed lol...

Hey once i get a fixed rear hub ill feel safer...

EDIT: speaking of ghetto... after a 40min ride the left crank bolt came loose... i use the crank bolt tool and a hammer, ill keep an eye on it...

SingleSpeeDemon 07-24-06 07:04 AM

I like it. It's white-trash-ilicious!

jyossarian 07-24-06 08:05 AM

Heh. Your bike's named after a girl.

schnee 07-24-06 09:17 AM

Some of the parts were apparently only held on by the dirt. If he cleans it again it will be a unicycle.

Get a Brooks, and get slicks...

roughrider504 07-24-06 10:00 AM

dang, how many times you wrecked that bike? My Raleigh wasnt even that scratched up after it got dragged by a car.

Yes, polish the hell out of that turd!

hubs 07-24-06 10:03 AM

wipe the WD-40 off your rim before you try to brake!

diff_lock2 07-24-06 11:45 AM

slicks coming soon

I cleaned up the front rim, it stops very well.

And this bike rides real nice, and the seat is great, (i broke it, i think some spring cracked or somthing...)

The bikes like a early 90's bike... and were i used to live the way the bike was parked cause the fork to look like that...

diff_lock2 07-25-06 09:57 AM

Yey, got new handle bars! cost me 30eu...

Much faster lol, realy! wind isnt so much a factor any more, im not an air brake!

EDIT: i bought these for my comuter, but the shimano nexus 4 speed shifter didnt fit ARG!

EDIT2: i know the cables a bit short, im too lazy to get a new cable/housing, i have a few meters but im not gona bother... this bike is just for fun, i dont comute, or rely on it..BUT im planing to go on a 25k (one way) trip soon... like AUG4 so i get slicks and stuff before that... and my 600eu well 40 is going for a 20" wide screen... unless i find somthing else... im on a 15" (tft) and its too small....

dude, no.

you'd fit right in on the lakeshore path with those bars, though.

barba 07-25-06 10:05 AM

You have a style all your own, I will grant you that. Give it a rattle can paint job, and it will look a lot nicer. If that is a single speed and not a fixed gear you really should run a rear brake.

Have fun on it.
