the brake is silver and the chain is silver... go and slow. it works.

i only hope my $150 frame is as cohesively blacked out ninja'd as yours.

^^^ Thanks. Me too. I cant wait to get my white leather Rolls saddle and a different stem. That one was $5 at a lbs so its serving its purpose, i guess.

I am still waiting on my wheels to show up. They are 3 days over due. UPS sucks!

Well, I just called UPS and they told me that the wheels are lost and they have to find them. Great!

that blows!

I had the best day, probably ever, riding this. Everything about it is awesome. Seat feels perfect, bars feel perfect (but I'm going to get some risers or bullhorns for the street) the crank/bb is amazing, the wheels are great. its a huge step up from my previous fg's. the gearing is great everywhere except the 11% hill to get to my house, its pretty hard there.

pretty clean burners behind it too.

Good looking bici dmotoguy. Specs on the build?

it blows me away how nice everyone's build turned out

I've grown to really love the black and gold theme. Those gold deep V's look really cool.

damn it freeskip, when are we going to see some pics??!!?!? ive been waiting to see your build forever!!

me too, if you're lucky they might get taken tonight

yeah my bike with 700x28's rides soooo smooth.. it's beautiful.. i've been running it ss and that geo makes for an excellent 'hill bomber' indeed.. fast in the turns.. easy to climb.. i'm a very pleased person..

Come on, if you can't get some shots tonight you should just sell me your bars for extra cheap.

From the other pic thread

That hurts my eyes.

i can tell why, after looking at yours.

I don't have a degree in design or anything, but I do think there are some objective aesthetic qualities in terms of color that are hardwired into our brain. That said, to each his own.

yah, i'm just saying, our 2 are at pretty much opposite ends of the color spectrum.

Can someone tell me what exactly is the frame of the IRO group buy? Modified Angus? BTW what does BFSSFG stand for?

Just dropped mine off at a shop in jersey. should have it fully built, with temporary wheels, by sunday. Im excited.

The IRO group buy frame is a ba$tar_d child of an angry Angus and Mark V that was so fast it couldn't keep its paint.


[edit: why is ba$tar_D blocked? I was not using it as a vulgarity. How else does one sucinctly describe an illegitimate child?]

Try Dick Cheney. lol

Oh they don't block Dick anymore. No longer funny.
