note my sarcasm in the post.

Are you serious? I want to burn your school to the ground.

Burning Man is the the new Starbucks

It wasn't sarcasm, it was irony.

enough burning man...back to mad max bikes plz. this is the last thread i want to be hijacked.

A swing bike. Not sure if I would consider it mad max, but...

Beyond Thunder Dome

when posting photos of mad max bikes, i find its handy to consider the following criteria:

will this bike survive the apocalypse?
DID this bike survive the apocalypse?
has this bike been in more bar brawls than i have?
if it gets into a wreck with a honda, is the honda gonna wind up totally ****ed?
and finally;
does it get bonus points for being an australian frame?

*cough*show 'em how its done andy white *cough*

um do you mean andy white?

ah!

yeah i do. peter white is completely different.



sorry andy!

It also has to possess some or all of the following accutriments:

1. Studded leather seat

2. razor wire between the handlebars

3. sharp spikes protuding from every conceivable orafice

4. studded tires

5. a handebar rack for explosive arrows

6. a bananna seat so as to provide room for the unlucky token passenger who must be killed when making your first pass at anything

or to get a boomerang lodged in their head.

My swing bike looks a bit like that but mine doesn't have streamers and a banana seat. The gear ratio on mine makes it somewhat more suitable for actually, you know, riding places.

This is wethepeople's tall bike, kinda mad max as far as tall bikes go:

Someone needs to put a chainsaw chain on their bike. On a fixed gear it'll just cut through your pants or shoelaces so you don't have to worry about rolling up your pantleg up or tying your shoes. and you thought getting your finger caught in the drivetrain was bad already...

I've saw a picture of a table saw blade bash ring once. I've done enough damage with regular old chainrings, thank you very much.

Anybody got any more beat-to-**** track bikes? I'm digging those in particular today. I remember one that someone posted a long time ago that had most of the paint chipped off, bare bullhorn handlebars, and the shot was sort of from the front. Can't find it, though. That thing was totally street-worn and it was sexy as hell.

im 100% serious. ive long since graduated so feel free to burn it down.

So I don't think that just because a bike is a crappy alt bike, it's "MadMax"

They didn't drive any clown cars in those movies. I'm just sayin'.

True, the swing bikes don't really fit but hat tall bike does, IMO. Think about it, it's overbuilt, has spikes and chainrings and it's just the right height to kick people in the face as you ride by.

There are lots of crabby hippies at burningman who tell people to stop destroying the desert.

my polo bike:

do i dare to ask what handlebars those are? look good for taking out a core sample

i remember seeing this when it was posted in some other thread and people were talking about taking the rust off or leaving it on. if you take the rust off, not so much of a mad max bike anymore. less of a need for making sure your tetanus shots are up to date? maybe, but no mad max. what's more important to you?
