Temple U and kiloTT
 

has anyone else noticed that like 1 in 5 bikes on the temple university main campus is a kilo tt? BD is taking over

uhh want a cookie? maybe it just so happens that the TT is the best bang for the buck,and college kids aren't usually makin it rain on dem hoes

There's a decent number of Kilo TTs at the University of Veloware as well. I see many more beat up old conversions though, probably because Newark seems to have a somewhat high rate of bike theft.

sorry, brosepher. not sure what you thought i was implying, but okay.

four friends that go there have gotten one after my recommendation.

If you go to a school with "velo" in the name, of course you have to ride fixed!

the university of delaware is one mixed up place.

kekekek

stupid delaware

fify

that is also quite true, but the university of delaware is the epicenter.

really?

Other than mine (the wheat with all black components that youve probably seen) and my friends (white with all black), i have only seen one other one. A branded BD, black, risers, yellow ourys.

What do you ride?

I make it rain on da hoez

needz moar freakouts

Been seeing this bike all over Temple as well as the Kilos. Can't help but think "God damn, that is ugly" every time I see one.

this is also quite common.

I've definitely seen yours before. There's also a green one with risers, no brakes, and no foot retention that I see zipping down Main Street on occasion. I ride that bright ass orange Windsor Clockwork that you've probably seen around as well haha.

Also I replied to your message in the other thread and on your profile, we should definitely ride soon.

+1 there. not to my liking

Rutgers has more conversions than anything else. My favorite bike that I see around is a beat to hell conversion painted baby blue, lugs painted yellow, with rainbow spoke beads and an american flag bandana tied to the rails of the saddle. I'll try and get a picture next time I see it.

why are you looking at the bikes at temple? you should be looking at the girls! i used to love getting jobs going up to temple just to check out the girls haha

this is temples most beloved bicycle.

Around these parts, most people don't even bother converting their old road bikes. The ten-speed is king!

Speaking only of fixies though, I'd say about half are conversions and the other half are BD bikes. Lawrence just doesn't have a huge fixed culture, which is strange because there are plenty of hipsters to go around. KC on the other hand...

thats because the guy who makes them is based in philly (frankenstien bike worx on spruce btw 15 and 16) but dont go there cause the guy is bat****.

Yeah, i locked up behind you outside of gore last week. your bike was still there when i left i think

i've only ever seen one BD bike here on campus. tons of janky conversions, i've seen one of those ugly as sin republic bikes, and some ugly tarck track bike without decals.
