That blue bike makes me cry inside, but if the guy's happy with it and isn't riding it like a jackass (though I suspect he might be), then whatever.
Dents, rust, and cracked tires aside (I can agree those are bad)... I can dig a bike with scratches, road grime, faded paint, and dirty bar tape. It means that it's been ridden quite a bit.

Yep, on pg 352, and not meant to call any one forum member out on it, but Church's Vilano pic is over 3 MB per the properties and has to load completely. Conversely, an attached thumbnail like the one on this page is only 3 Kb and loads instantaneously. The pop up is @ full resolution and only one of the potentially many pics has to load at that particular file size rather than every pic on the forum page. It's like the differences between a shortcut link to a file on the desktop of your computer vs actually saving a huge file to your desktop. Every time you refresh the desktop, that shortcut or file has to reload.

i will say my current roommate went thru the back window of a parked SUV while riding a bike drunk and digging in his pocket for a ringing cell phone. 15 stitches in the arm and a cut up forehead. (yah, no helmet lol)
whats crazier is a week afterwards he was complaining about one of his head scabs itching and there was still a small piece of glass stuck in his head.
hes actually an intelligent person but when drunk and riding a bike 20+ mph try to concentrate on the road....or wear a helmet....or dont go so fast.....or dont drink and bike.
although i will confess to drunk biking and enjoying it. i guess its at least a few thousand times better than driving a car drunk.

action photo of me on a group drunken night ride. it was a poker ride. we drink at someone's house, get a card, ride to the next house, drink, get a card, etc. after 5 houses, whoever has the best hand wins. not everyone makes it to the 5th house. this was between house 4 and 5.
Already e-mailed my bikes and beers buddies to get this going. Might do pubs instead of houses and winner drinks for free...

Just ride with someone sober...
Apparently I bike well when drunk, but once I get off my bike, there goes all coordination. =\

Nice soho s. Get some grips, and keep the chainguard on. Its a great feature on that bike, yet it looks bent outwards at the front of the chainring.

Coupla bikes
Rescued '89 Trek 330 52cm frame/fork built up with takeoffs and used parts. Was a fixie with drops, then turned into a singlespeed commuter for sale (sold).
53cm '85 Panasonic Sport-1000 conversion. A little large and quite long for me. Covered with scratches and scuffs, but still a great bike. Spiffed up for sale with some bar tape.

I hadn't crashed in about 15 years until drunk biking (on the way home from a NOFX concert in April). I crashed twice in the same night. One of the times I was trying to take a piss while riding (non fixed gear bike) and the other time I was trying to adjust my rear blinky. Those are a couple of things NOT to do while drunk biking. It didn't really hurt though... but the next morning wasn't so pleasant.
