i just picked up some white rubino pros a few weeks ago from the LBS

What color scheme?

I like this color scheme.(I am the authority on color schemes, as everyone who's seen that makino already knows)! I want a pink aerojoke with orange vittoria tires.!

I like it a lot.

Are you serious?

Sure. Just swap the saddle, chain, grips, headset and seatpost.

^^^Holy crap, you ARE serious!

that mint aerojoke is kinda sick honestly ;)

Here is why I do not like Aerospoks. There just are not enough degrees of separation from this ....

the mint/salmon/yellow aerospokes made me think i was having a flashback to the mid 90s

eek!

Ugly as it is, that Trek is seriously wayyyy classier than that nasty Aerospoked thing above.

that **** had to have just burst from the lolcano.

vittoria uses seperate factories for the different models? crazy.

by the way, i meant it when i said i wasn't really trying to single you out. for the record, i probably could have saved my little rant in this thread, but also for the record, there was a thread like two days ago titled 'baa spinin'" which featured your stock response of get a bmx bike, which is what prompted my little tirade in this thread.

i've tried to learn to just not open threads that i know i don't care about or dislike, solely because it gets tiring when you can know exactly what negative comment someone will make when you see they had the last post in a thread.

it'd be like me opening every thread on the specialized langster and *****ing about how hideous they are.

Like I said in my other post, I'm not on some jihad against you, and I agree with a good amount of what you have to say, and you were just easy to address that to since that barspin thread was fresh in my mind.

my feelings aren't hurt, i could care less who likes my aerospoke. it's not like i bought it under some assumption that everyone in the world would think i was the coolest kid ever, I'd seen plenty of hate on them before I bought it

is this supposed to be ironic? the bike i mean.

oh i don't know. i just found the photo on flickr.

yeah i guess i wasn't really addressing anyone, unless whoever rides it is on here. it just seems like a joke bike.

This.

The only way the aerospok works is if you have a Zipp disc on the rear.

All I have to say is

NO WIRE HANGERS!

It's a real bike, one of the other owners at NOBRAKES. Most of our personal bikes eye catching whether you like them or not. Funny bikes, pursuit bikes, NJS, pink orange and mint wheels, all the stuff that some love and some love to make fun of.

No Brakes! has done a lot to make all sorts of colored components available. they've done their share of classy builds as well and are all really decent dudes.

also, they're the ones that were commissioned to make these bars.

Oh *****, Skips on BF. Yo.

Yo indeed.

Good to see you skip.

Im assuming you meant paint, not make...right?

I got my aerospoke painted white from the factory. It only cost me $390 total so that $150 upcharge sounds fishy to me.

LOL, you spent $75 per spoke. I have a feeling that you are running a Diacompe SS, as well

Well, I read this a long time ago. I have no idea if it's true, or what Vittoria's factory situation is like.

Not so. I didn't remember the thread you were talking about, so I looked back a few pages and found it. I didn't even open that thread, much less post anything. I've certainly said it before, but I didn't seek out a thread on bar spins or anything.

i think he was just nitpicking at the fact that you said Rubino factory.

Oh, I hadn't even noticed that.
