not on a $2500 bike...i wouldn't expect something like that.
also, if the tires were glued well, it is highly probable that the basetape will get messed up when you seperate the tires from the rims.

True, but many hipsters don't care about such things.

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood. $900 for this:

Lightning Keirin Track frame, metallic blue paint
Size: 53 cm c-c
110 rear spacing
Comes with:
-Wound Up Carbon fork
-Sugino BB
-Sugino 75 Cranks, 170mm, black
-Sugino Chainring, 48t., black
-Chris King Headset, 1" threaded, red

Oh, and if you want you can have a rear wheel
for $200. But:

***TriSpoke NOT for sale or trade***
***TriSpoke NOT for sale or trade***
***TriSpoke NOT for sale or trade***

Can I have a ******bag set of furniture from Ikea to go
with this? Or maybe a sh1t sandwich. Hmm--hard
to say which would suck more. Maybe some Arcade Fire
to listen to on the way to therapy? Eff this chick.

doesnt this bike belong to one of the MASH dudes?

yeah...I'm sure. Well I'm about to go out to the west end anyway so i'm going to give this guy a call.

EDIT: wrong number. Well, it's all for the best really. I dont have 250 to drop on an extra bike right now anyway. no matter how nice it is.

Look at his name. $5 says it belongs to his eurotrash dad.

Straws 01-10-08 02:10 PM

What's sad is it very well could be him. I've seen that picture a dozen times but the West End of richmond is a haven for snotty ****s like that. Once he realized he couldnt fit his new super hip fixie in his corvette to drive it downtown and ride around he probably let it rot in his garage. If it's him that is. The point is that the west end has people like that.

I've sent him an email and hopefully he'll get back to me.

Could be. The bike was discussed at length in the jackass thread. I for one am curious.

Straws 01-10-08 02:23 PM

ah ****, it cant be him. His email lists to a graphic design firm in Perth, AU and if you look in the larger picture you can see a palm tree. We dont have those here.

EDIT: And the steering wheel is on the wrong side. That bigger picture shows a lot.
