And it's freakin' hilarious!

Dokushoka, Can ya post a pic of my bike for me...I keep forgetting to do that.

Dude,

Level off the seat . Get longer crank arms or larger frame.

CEYA!

RG, your seat angle is just that - YOURS!

BTW---Your "2005" GIF is hilarious and your bike kicks ass. But then, what else is new?

Looks like an old body geometry saddle. I have one of those. Super comfortable, huh? (no comment about seat tilt. whatever floats your boat)

I have a newer body geometry-very comfy.

[QUOTE=raygunner]Up next...new wheels w/ Suntour Superbe hubs & non-machined purple Deep-V's. Hott!


just finished lacing these exact wheels up! (oh and the guys at the shop wouldn't let me call them purple, they're 'eggplant!')

[QUOTE=dubteka]Good god-man, of course they're "eggplant;" hell even I can see that.

No thanks, I'm really comfy with the set up. It's probably the largest track frame I've ridden too.

I like the seat on that angle since none of my junk touches it. My ass (can I say ass?!) rides on the top part. No worry about losing the ability to, uh...you know...

[QUOTE=dubteka]Dubteka did you get them at Freewheel? Because they always call 'em "eggplant" instead of purple. They look great though.

They're either "eggplant" or "aubergine." Maybe "black plum."

Haha. Do eggplants even look like that?? I've never seen one.

Except for the metallic sheen, pretty much exactly. Dude. A varied diet is good for you. Eat an eggplant.

yeah those eggplant deep v's are hot!

thanks.
yup. freewheel hayes! those guys have absolutely everything (for as small of a shot that they are).
hot damn. they even got 'Gucci' double toe strap holder thingys.

will have pics of the wheels on the colnago soon...

Man. I gotta see your bike in real life. You know Dokushoka right? (He's my brother).
And...I eat fruits everyday...I've just never seen the inside of an eggplant.

The inside is white.

<They're either "eggplant" or "aubergine." Maybe "black plum.">

If you are in France and you want to buy an eggplant, you ask for an aubergine s'il vous plait.

So aubergine is just pretentious eggplant with a bad attitude and should forthright be renamed freedomplant.

hahah classic! rally round the freedom plant!

well, hell, he sits on his arms so he could probably nail a pie pan on there and be equally comfortable.

yah! dokushoka is fun to ride with, him and colin. Going to be at the monkey wrench race thingy this saturday. SF bay area heads come on out and play!

not to make this thread any more derailed... early pics below of my colnago pista. I'll get pics of it's newest form with the wheels shortly.

1. drive side shot of the colnago.
2. signed personally by ernesto colnago himself! :D
3. rear wheel laced 3x drive side, radial non-drive side! superbe pro hubs laced to campy record tubular rims
4. perfect reason to never let your friends borrow your vintage raleigh fixie!

i have such a thing for the colnagos without the ugly new paint jobs! that bike is rad!

Nice bike! How did your friend do that?

thanks! the new paint jobs on colnagos are horrible.
don't know really how he busted the cranks. he said it just snapped! they were pretty old cranks though.

love the colnago
