haha, the baseboard does mess up the picture.
If you mean the angle of the bars, they're not adjusted properly right now. They're tilted back too far, I just installed them and shot the picture before fine tuning it. That and the stem is a little long for me(see the trade thread if you can help). Otherwise, I've got no problems. It's not great for really long rides, but I've got risers that I swap out for that. The stem offers a lot of rise if I flip it, so I've got no problem making myself comfortable. |

Wheels do flex, though. |

Wheels do flex, though. chain was a pc-1, fairly new. the only link i broke was to size the chain, off the end with the quick link. it busted in the middle. must be the moron who maintained it. the hub was a surly, and i check my lockrings regularly. the chainring probably was my fault. you can stick your judgemental attitude up your slovenly hungarian arse. |
Chain was likely faulty out of the factory or damaged in a crash. Or else, you're an elephant. Maybe a gorilla. Humans certainly don't have the strength to break a good PC-1... Maybe with a 180 crank and a 22 chainring, while blocking the movement of the rear wheel or something.

Pretty stock Jamie Roy except for the Michelin tires. Cinelli bar wrap, inner-tubes on the TT and DT so college life doesn't do too much damage, and 46/17 for the hills of New York. Got a black Bareknuckle in the process of being built up. I'll post it when It's done. |

big guy 62 frame. angus. just got it in the mail. nothing too fancy on it yet.
http://www.apt13.com/dev/angus.jpg he likes to hang with his little friend. not fixed but also fun. http://www.apt13.com/dev/mosh.jpg |
Yes! Sweet BMX frame. What is it? Specialized? The front hub is awesome.
|
the bmx is a mosh cruiser. giant makes mosh i believe. all the components are GT, including the hubs. it's a good time, but at 6'5" it's a bit hard on me after awhile.

christ. how long is that stem? thing looks like it's about to fall out.
|
What size stem is that, mm wise?

I built it up to be beefy and stiff, hence the Thompson setup. Despite it's girth it is still relatively light and responsive on the track. I'd recommend a bareknucle to anyone, it's truly a great ride. Great wheel-build by Marcus at YoJimbos too. I even t-boned this bike into a speeding car a few weeks after I got it and it was unscathed, gotta love steel. I built it to be a track and street bike, and it's been great as both. |
