WARGAMES 10-18-06 06:03 PM

i bought a moth frame with a slice carbon fiber fork, headset, and stem for real cheap and i have been riding it around alot, i have never seen one on the street and I'm scared that no one rides them cause their ****ty, but 5 months ago when i was thinking about buying an iro i felt the same way, now i see them everywhere

prodigal son 10-18-06 06:03 PM

I was think custom builder for some reason.

Batson 10-18-06 06:08 PM

WARGAMES 10-18-06 06:19 PM

More importantly, where can I get a stret cred report, to check how high my street credit is?

There was that one time when I wore unfashionable pants. I wonder if that goes against my rating?

freestreetcredreport.com, 900 pts being the highest. as for the pants it shouldnt matter unless they were acid wash with pleats.

Am I the only one that noticed that you need a credit card to get a free credit report these days?

I haven't ridden one, but I do know that the fork brake hole has a weird tube that goes all the way to the back hole. So if you knock the star nut in too far, you can't knock it all the way down the steer tube and back out. ****ty design, IMHO. Whats more, its got an integrated headset. Integrated headsets are ****ing stupid.

Otherwise, it seems fine for a budget fixie. I love the name, too.

eddiebrannan 10-19-06 01:26 PM

edit: totally agreed. remember last time we talked about this bike and i showed you the worst kerning to hit graphic design since ever?

or do you need a reminder?

Aeroplane 10-19-06 01:38 PM

Thanks ryand. I had no freaking idea what kerning was, and that's the last sort of thing I'm going to google at work.

Just stick another star nut in on top of the old one. $1.50, 2-3g and you'll be the only one to know.

quark is the worst.

eddiebrannan 10-19-06 03:32 PM

i disagree

ryand 10-19-06 03:33 PM

(i don't do print design, this may be why we disagree)

eddiebrannan 10-19-06 03:36 PM

well it's designed for dtp, ie print, so yeah if that's not what you're using it for there are probably better solutions. i like it very well, for magazines. have used it for 12 years - it's like second nature to me. i prefer it to indesign, but i'm a bit of a stick-in-the-mud
