What's not to like about it? It's aluminum (without having huge "aero" tubing), has great geo and looks amazing. Suicide Girls are so meh.

I was just curious. I have seen people talk about the Special, but that thing is fugly.

I hate to say it but +1. I just can't handle that seat tube, if it was straight I'd be all over that *****.

Meh I'm on the wall about it.
Would ride, but probably not buy. ;)

Confession: I like tempting fate every once in a while.

Truth. However, it'd work perfectly with the stainless grips and seat that are posted in the jackass thread.

I kinda want a Gara too...

well, i gotta confess. i recently went clipless, and thought that i would never, i mean NEVER fall over before i clip out. well, after a ride in the rain, i decided to tighten up the release on them

wrong #1

at the corner of grand and bushwick, i fell. i knew this would happen. it was graceful however, and a nice gentleman offered to help me up. luckily, i was able to get my right foot out and twisted the frame so i could get my left out. but yea.

i'm now a veteran of "oh ****" club

I've only been riding a month, and now this forum is the most frequented website on my computer.

wow, didn't even know that existed. love reading all those accounts. looks like i got a few broken bones to go before i get a membership, tho...

I went to culinary school, I've worked in some of the best restaurants in the city, and at one of the top 5 in the world. I decided to open my own restaurant, had investors, had a location, had everything. Investors backed out due to the economy, and now I'm flipping burgers and making grilled cheese sandwiches at a diner making the same amount of money I made when I was 19. The funny part is that I had to lie to get this job. None of the.nice restaurants are hiring, and I'm so over qualified for the crappy ones that they wouldn't hire me, so I made up a resume. I currently hate my life.

hairnet 09-10-11 06:43 PM

become a bike touring hobo and cook for shelter

jimmytango 09-10-11 06:47 PM

My wife wouldn't like that.

pretty sure that right now, if you have no dependants, this is the time when you make an absolutely insane/family cant believe what you are doing/throw caution to the wind type move. put your crap in boxes and roll out.

i regret not doing this more when i was younger. take advantage. you can hate life later when you have a wife that got annoying and kids that break your ****.



edit: o you are married... well then, this is it bro.

jimmytango 09-10-11 07:14 PM

My family is more shocked by me sticking around than anything. If I bailed it'd be the expected move, considering I've done it twice before.

jimmytango 09-10-11 07:52 PM

Screw it. Imma move to New England. Scrod, you hiring? I can do sales, or I could be the Retrogression company chef. You could even partially pay me with bike parts.
