How does that guy fit on the same bike?... 50mm stem + drops OR, 130mm stem + bullhorns?! makes NO sense!

I know!!!

I like the lightning bolt.

Makes his tarck byke wayyyyy faster, bro.

I feel like a jackass for not understanding whats jackass about half of these bikes. I lol'd at the quote hard though.

Hellz yeah it's faster!

Yeah. It's fast too.

The lightning version didn't seem that bad to me. I'm guessing the bullhorn version was just somebody messing around by taking the stem/bars off their tri bike and seeing what it looked like.

I doubt it.

Skeleton Bike!

Beautiful. I know what my next frame will be.

That frameset would go pretty well with my new jeans too.

Here's a nice one:

nice lock bro.

I bet he locks like that to be ironic. ****ing hipster...

Prolly. Neez a rear orange veep tho.

why is the saddle brown and not yellow?

tots throwin the color scheeeme braah

I think they did it on purpose.

What makes this bike so bad? Front brake, foot retention, reasonable body position; is it the color scheme, or just the lock job? It is that the colors are too match-y, or not enough?

Out of curiosity, is my road bike jackass, even if I lock it up properly?

What about my cruiser? I plan to eventually move the yellow rims from the road bike over to this one (you can't see in this pic, but current rims are black), get a yellow Selle An-atomica saddle, and maybe a yellow chain after the current chain is done. Will that make this bike jackass?

It seems that there are a lot of color schemed bikes in the Post Your SS/FG thread that get a fair amount of praise. What makes one color scheme OK and another bad?

I suppose it would be the POS lock and yellow-scheme in general. If that bike looked anything like your bike it would not have landed in the jackass thread.

...and don't forget the seat. ;)

Yeah, the seat certainly looks out of place and kind of ugly on that bike, but if the rider finds it comfortable then I would understand not changing it. Overall the bike looks practical and comfortable, unlike a lot of the rides in this thread.

As for the color scheme, well I obviously like yellow, so I guess that that's an eye of the beholder thing. That pic of the cruiser is too dark to show how really obnoxiously bright the green is on that frame; it's like a dayglo lime green. About half the people who comment on my bike think that it's a nice looking ride with a horribly ugly paint job. Whatevs, I'm a child of the 80s and I like bright colors; don't blame me, blame my culture.

Dumbass lock jobs are a dime a dozen around here; about a month ago I saw a bike locked to a strand of rope, and last week on campus someone chained their bike to a 4 foot tall metal pole right next to the bike rack. That one was so dumb that I wanted to ride it to the other end of the quad, just to teach the cyclist a lesson. If the recycling center actually paid out for aluminum up here, I could make a killing stealing Magnas and Trailmasters from the campus alone.

You don't want to know... :innocent:

Anyway, I don't ride fixed or SS, so I probably shouldn't be posting in here. I'll just leave this here and go back to lurking.
