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.

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.

Time to break out the welder...

sell cheap a$$ converted fgss bikes i build up from donated/used parts and sell them to snarky Brown University kids who want so bad to be hipster for more than double the price they are worth. i also sell them dumpster clothing and other goodies found in dumpsters.

Buzzkill. Any sources or threads where this is discussed?
Also what was the tire clearance fiasco?

ATX huh? I wouldn't be surprised if you were on BD's payroll.

you must be the dude up in woonsocket? glad to know your feelings about your "customers"

Relax, dude. He's just fact-checking. I don't want to derail the thread but I'm curious as well, so if you have any links, that'd be nice.

i am actually in olneyville. the bikes are all good bikes, but we get almost everything donated to us, alot actually comes from bikes the brown students left on campus over the summer, so what they are paying for is mostly labor charges. but we can price a fgss up to 100 bucks higher than other bikes and they will sell like hotcakes to college students wanting some hipster cred.

Sheesh, and after all these years I thought that tattoo shops,savers and Julian's dealt out all the hipster cred in providence... What's this town cOming to? I'm getting old and behind the times I guess.

I just bought a thickslick over a gatorskin cause I like the print of the logo better.
