Lance being the only one capable of beating Chuck Norris; I say he gets to wear whatever he wants.

I think he was referring to the comment you made that "you should have to post your own bike along side any sh*t-talking/fingerpointing/mockery you're about to do."

But since you have your bike in your sig you're pretty much doing so every time you post, so I'm not too sure what his point was...

It's a nice concept, although I would be hesitant to ride it myself. More reckless than jackass

I give him 3 months before the fork snaps or his modified surly hub explodes at the flanges.

Is that a disc hub or did he drill the hub somehow to mount that rotor?

I think it looks clean, especially with the first set of bars. At least some people are combining function with aesthetics and aren't just putting tennis balls in their spokes.
