but then how will the sweet brosefs know you're part of the cool crowd? no one will invite you for chillins with a case of pbr!

ThunderChunky

you could disguise your bmx with aerospokes, a turbo saddle and a top tube protector, and hope the cool kids buy it. they probably will.

On a BMX bike, they're called Skyway Tuffs, not Aerospokes. And top tube protectors on BMX bikes are as old as the day is long!

ThunderChunky

finally got off my lazyness to take a quick pic of my powdercoated kilo - what color combos do you think i can do with tires/bar tape?

oeuf

^^^Nice. I would do yellow.

ThunderChunky

i would only do subtle stuff, like white or black, but thats just me.

blue frames are so hard to deal with in terms of matching with other colors, but that's just me. Try this site out to maybe help you out: https://www.pedalmafia.com/mafid/mafia_id.html

Yellow is too tacky. The tires look a little grey-ish, so I assume the blue is darker and it's just the photo. Honestly, I'd say gold.

The blue angels use "golden" yellow, which is much warmer.

Go with a tasteful mix of lime green, electric orange, hot pink, teal, and purple.

**** yes.

dddave

oh whatever.

rduenas

Haha. Don't mind me. I'm taking a color analysis and theory class this semester, so I've been dealing with color wheels and complimentary colors, etc.

when i read that i was like, whatever, blue angels have always been blue and yellow to me! i work at a fondue restaurant and our fondue forks are different colors... whenever i am resetting our two-person tables i sometimes put blue and yellow on purpose. i love the blue angels.

THey come to SF every year for Fleet Week, and like some people complain and hate them cause they're so loud, and I'm just like WTF! Who cares, It's the BLUE ANGELS! Some people just don't get it.

My dad went to the Naval Academy and he's like old school Navy, so he always says stuff like, "Ahhh the good ole' navy blue and gold!"

That's probably where I get it from.

so, I'm sure this is in this thread somewhere, but what size, are what height people riding out there?? I'm 6ft tall, and can't decide if i should get the 53 or 57. I've ridden a 53 khs flite 100 which fit fine. But it seems from the geometry specs that the kilo is a bit different, i.e. longer top tube, shorter seat tube. So what do you think, or direct me to the proper page area in this thread. Thanks

Those cheap Kenda tires are finally gone now though.

ThunderChunky

you talking about when they flew over the city this past fall? that was pretty cool.

I didnt realize just how bad they were until I changed to something else as well...
