that wasn't done with instagram. that was done with good old fashioned photoshop. back when amazon just moved campus to slu.
is it weird that i miss that bike? i think with compact drops, a real concor, a fizik cyrano post, and an alpina fork it would easily look cooler than my ftp.
obviously though, the ftp rides better for everything a track bike should be... but the visp was way way more comfortable for distances.

what i don't like about instagram is that you have such limited choice over exactly what kind of colorful bull**** you throw on top of a photo.
when you **** up a photo in CS5 you have near infinite creative control. just look at the visp's pedal room to see what i mean. example, counterpoint.
but when you **** up a photo in instagram it has to work exactly with the preset you select. example, counterpoint.

That VISP is probably one of the best looking track-specific builds I've seen.

You might want to take the duct tape off your macbook as when duct tape as it gets old/ sets in, it will leave gooey & sticky residue that's a total pain to take off even w/ chemicals (that can potentially ruin the finish of your macbook) or discolor the polycarbonate of your mac.

He did write GreenBook on it. At least he cares about the environment.

By the time it gets gooey my book will already be dead. thats the whole reason i did it, he needed a makeover to feel better. he started with stickers for 2 years i got that off alright and it looked like new.
the guy i got the bike from though left a terrible paint job and i want to get it to chrome. how do i get it there, like really shiny. i wanna get the original stickers in green to match the wheel. Does anyone have the original sticker? they are rare(?) online.

You want it chrome? Take it to a chromer (is that a job), possibly located at an auto-paint shop.

Just got this bike, but I'll only be able to take it off road this sunday. Cant wait to get it covered in dirt, havent ridden any trails for 2 years now and I really miss it.
2011 Kona Unit, pretty much all stock, I added the bottle cage and clipless pedals.

So I found this thing today.
Needs a bit of cosmetic TLC and some of the parts are def getting replaced but a complete, fully functional GTB for the price of your average Bikesdirect bike is a little hard to say no to.
