Even gave me a pair of MKS pedals and double straps. It came brakeless but I added a front for the time being. I raised the seat but from that picture it looks pretty high. I havent given it a test ride on that height yet.

you got ripped off! I will buy it even up to help you out though. and I'll even split shipping with you. Sorry man that sucks! No deep V's? a brake? Why would you need two straps? It doesn't even have a tt pad what a completely unfunctional bike. just take it to the recycling center and dump it. That is if they will even take it.

that is a great find, in fact im jealous, therefore to spite you I hope you have scary poops for 3 days after you get it, just so that you might think twice about riding it.


Thats a smart buy *thumbs up*

I just scored a pair of Spinergey rims...my question...the rear if fitted for a cassette (GASP) - is it possible to get it "fixed"? I'd like to switch them back and forth between the fix and the road bike.

Everybody is greedy these days because of eBay. Who'd take the hit of selling something like that at $250? I mean, with the double straps it's probably worth at least a couple bills more than that.

And don't get me started on those jackasses who swipe a bike from eBay at a steal with the intent of selling it as a TRACK BIKE FIXIE SPEEDSTER - $1200 on Craigslist. Troubled times...troubled times.

that's what part of our country is based on man. capitalism.

What kind of cassette is it? Depending on the type, you could use one of these:

You guys need to give it a rest. Especially considering you "saw me" on Sunday and didn't say ****.

Grow some balls and get off the internets little kid.

johnprolly 10-11-07 12:33 PM

So let me get this straight... You SAW me on Sunday, didn't say anything - and you wait to get on an internet board to run your mouth?

Also, what setup was I riding on Sunday? It didn't look anything like that because THAT setup is uncomfortable. Which is why I deleted the pics and never rode it again... Idiot.

what are you talking about? i live in the south. never been to NYC.
i assume you're talking about some comment i made in that one thread about the freestyle/skid comp at the banks. well i was talking about "i think i saw johnprolly on his marinoni" in the video that was posted in that thread.
and yes, mr. prolly, this is the internet. if you're gonna act like a ******, expect to be treated like one.

johnprolly 10-11-07 12:48 PM

To my knowledge I react when people talk shti to me. That doesn't make me a ******. Moderator, please give this kid an infraction for using "******" out of context. Unless he is using one now..
