I thought everyone in BL was 30+ and doing video editing in SF. That's not meant as a diss.

^ Those bars..

Also, off topic question - Riding untaped bars is frowned upon and the majority of people who have grips on drop bars have the upper part of the bar uncovered. Are all of these people wearing gloves / actually riding the drop part of the bars all the time?

Does anyone have any pics of somebody actually riding one of these things?







Across the Pond, they call these "Hip Hop Slave Bikes"; known here as "Tarck".

What seems pretty jackass to me is to spend a ton of money to get a track specific frame, then put risers on it.

i didn't think someone would look at a spinergy with that many chips and go "yeah, this is good for a front rim"

RIP jackass rider

I don't think 'mad max' is a langster- the ht looks too tall, dt too narrow, and the headset looks wrong. Gonna have to go stare at the langster thread now....

But the sheer genius of using a fork as a sissy bar means someone put more than 5 seconds of thought into this bike.

If the front tire weren't held on by zipties I would say this is yet another totally unjackass altbike some nincompoop posted in the jackass thread because they're ignorant of what it actually is. Okay, well I guess that's what I actually mean.
