Speaking of the IRS, they were good to me, too. Unfortunately, it's all gotta go right back to the gov't. ($$$ LOANS)

The story of my life.

absntr - Suspense...ain't it a mother? I have no intentions of OG'ing though :)
Ceya - hint please! You did finish the Level, right?
auk - I think William Karsten still holds the goldmember status.

yup, that's a hottie!

for paint in a spraygun, my friend uses the rustoleum that comes in a regular paint can. he said he had to thin it down a whole lot to get it not to clog up though. The bikes he painted came out great.

No Cape! You know what happens with capes and jet engines :eek:

Mmmmmm, gold, and sweet geo. I can't wait to see her 'fully dressed'.

Too much?

Oh sweet Jesus! Turn it off!

Steroids are bad for you, son.

If you're refering to the huge amount of clearance between the tires and the frame/fork, yes. Even I have less, and my bike's lugged steel.

Fugly IMO.

I offered up the gold seat.. but noooooo...

Yur toooo special for it.

[165] - that is amazing. Those pink Phil's would probably have just been overkill on that, although I still say you get some tubular rims drilled for 144 spokes so you can have major bling factor at the track. It won't be heavy, I promise.

with the factory logos its just plain scarry. But I always thought bikes like that would be an awsome canvas for some rad paintjobs. you could put a mural of the old west on the downtube.

I'll give you that. It just seems a shame to have to own that bike just to have a nice place to paint.

At least you'd look fast...even if you weren't.

Isn't that Captain America's ride?

Yeah. I'm gonna say it: I hate the white powdercoated parts. They look cheap.

My new ride...

Mid 80's Rossin SLX frame
formula hubs
nittos b-127s
straight-bladed bike works fork
sugino 75's
TTT stem

Blue chainring is pretty. I'm fantasizing about how that bike would look if it was all blue on chrome. Mmmmm.

nice rossi... tight clearance on that puppy!

Man, that Rossin is amazing. I second the comment on the clearance - looks like you would have to deflate the tire to remove the wheel :D Not sure about the grips... might look a little better with some keirin grips, IMHO

Well you don't see one everyday, so I thought I'd post also...

:eek: WoW! That Is B-uitiful!

How do you like those pedals/clips? I've been thinking of picking up a pair of new pedals, and those look pretty cool. I'm wondering if they are a good buy.
