ive been riding with the njs masterlink for 2 years now with no problem. the screw seems to thread on to the link, not just the bolt on the reverse. seems lke a pretty solid design.

Die, no way, I skitched from this car a week and a half ago, going down the parkway, heading out to kelly drive. The woman driving was on her cell phone, and I caught up with her car as soon as she hit the parkway, she never saw me. I caught a hold of the rear passenger wheel well, and she hit every green light towards the art museum. Ended up hitting like 40-45, no joke.
if anyone on here's from boston, and knows b-fresh, ask him about my skitching stories from when I was living in boston.

well, it was more that you have a big gear and platforms that had me worried. a big gear would be great for skitching, i guess, yeah.
edit: and guerilla idiom, i wasn't referring to the skitching so much as big gear/platforms, but i see now that's not a stopping problem for you.

edit: I have been riding clipless/fixed for work and for myself for atleast like 5/6 years or so, and it hasn't helped my knees much either.
I'm getting up there, with the number of times I've been involved with traffic accidents[no, none of them were my fault].

That may be the first Motobecane eBay-Special that
I've liked. Just a good looking, practical bike.

I like the Panasonic, and I totally understand wanting
to run a brake, but I sort of hate unicrown forks on
lugged steel bikes like that.
Oh, but if you ever want to dump that frame, let me
know. 50cm is my size.

Oh and this photo was taken at 10:30 at night in my spare bedroom so the colors are a bit blah, I will take a better picture when I have the time!
