I'm old, w/an 80s Fuji Del-Rey fg conversion. Color qued red/black. It's got front and rear brakes. So, sue me. Recently it was tapped for a wb cage and a framepump. Got a seatpost rack/trunkbag combo for hauling stuff to and from work. SKS Raceblades! :eek: My daily commute is 41 mi. rt. I like passing roadies in the morning who are too cool to give a wave or lift a finger. My commuting garb is mtb shorts w/rb tops and road shoes.

All totaled, including a sb/pc paint job I spent about 400.00 on this bike. It's by far my favorite and I'll will it to whichever of my grandchildren shows an interest.

Once on my way into work I had to drop a deuce in the weeds...I've carried a small, plastic garden spade and recyclable TP ever since. If any you ever come to visit I'll show you where it happened.

Obviously, I own a bike, but I like you guys, too.

Your bike sounds awesome. Put a picture up in the picture thread so we can see it :thumb:

but no pics of the porta-potty

Confession: It's a Gatorade and Advil kind of morning. Hoping to make pancakes and bacon for breakfast, if we have all the ingredients. Only had 4 beers last night, but I'm a lightweight and other than the High Life at the 4am country and western bar (only a few places in Chicago have 4am liquor licenses) they were real beers. I rode my bike out and even tipsy now feel comfortable enough riding fixed. Yay!

the internet > my humor. which makes me a troll.

i like throwing skids behind pedestrians on the bike path and scaring the shiz outta them.

When I see some kid on a single speed (not fixed) I think, "poser." When I see some kid on a single speed (not fixed) and only a front brake I think, "really? why?" I want to get my fg conversion bike built back up so that I will have something to do in the winter - I can play bike polo.

I don't think poser, but I do become really disappointed. This is probably because I get excited when I do actually see another person riding fixed.

When I'm too excited about something I get carried away and do stupid/reckless things :-/

I do that too.

I really want to sticker bomb a frame... but I don't want to land one of my bikes in the jackass thread.

Why not sharpie bomb it?

:p

I don't have a white bike and metallic sharpies quickly adding up, cost $$$...

Well what bikes would you be willing to do that to then? I certainly wouldn't do it to a Vigorelli or an Orca...

None lol
Because none of my bikes are trashed or plain enough to justify doing so....

Then buy a Kilo and sticker bomb that mofo.

Truth; I've vowed never to pay my money to the likes of BD; never have, never will.

Then let's just drop the whole idea then.

If I told you bikesdirect uses less than admirable business practices such as child labor... ever wondered why kilo tt dimensions are never the same? That's what happens when children are forced to learn tig welding before arithmetic.
This post is a tribute to those little girls and boys who lost their lives to the tire clearance fiasco. Corporal punishment.

Respect.

Confession: I think I may like Angie's new Leader more than mine.

Told you to keep it murdered out.... but nooooo :innocent:

Hers isn't murdered out though. I just really dig the whole setup of that build.

I think I may just bet super stoked about it because it's a new addition to the family. I also think it's cute 'cause it's so tiny. :lol:

Tiny bikes ARE hella cute. Honestly I think tall bikes are kinda ugly. Not like "tall bikes," but I mean anything over 56cm. No offense, tall people. Maybe I'm biased because I'm tiny. :p

Maybe you should tell that to hairnet's face. :roflmao2:

I have to agree with you through; especially when you have a womanly sized version of the same bike; in my case, my wife's 48cm orbea orca to my 54.

+7

you guys are crazy.
bigger the bike = bigger the steez

especially vintage lugged

tall bikes do look dumb. best size IMO to look at is around a 56cm

small bikes look dumb too.... but cute dumb

just like big shoes and small shoes.... size 10 mens shoe looks perfect... but my size 13 looks DUMB AS ****

I think its just your big fat feet, attached to your big fat legs that look dumb. IMO.

Also I want a tallbike. My friend on a Tallbike and I rode through Melrose. He got too much attention. I'm jelly.
