I could be spinning a lot faster and I could be pushing myself a lot harder.

You should come ride in Beverly Hills. You can get some good climbing and good spin coming down with 0 traffic. Have you ever been through Franklin Canyon?

I'm a newbie here (obv)
A guy that rides totally gets extra cute points over a guy that doesn't.
I don't have a ss/fg (yet; working on it) but this is the only forum I've hung out in since registering.
I hope to test ride a fixed gear soon and I'm terrified I will crash and kill myself and/or the bike during the test ride.
I'm totally a hipster. Only thing that makes me self-conscious about it is I'm probably too old for it. Whatevs.
I called in sick because I'm hungover today.

You'll probably get a "sup QT" if you go register at ChiFG.

I dig it because everyone is just laughing and having a great time. Emi Brown cruising with a Heineken mini keg and the part at the end where Lance looks like he's learning to skid are pretty funny. Also, the fact that Lance isn't using a monster gear ratio and still hauling that much ass is rad.

ya ya, my fave as well. i like it most cuz i know the roads they're going through and how rough the ride really was.

Someone posted a squirrel penis in response to my confessions post. I'm calling this a successful day.

There was this dude on a street bike sitting in traffic in the middle of town, revving the crap his engine so everyone would look at him. I passed him on my bicycle yelling, "VROOOM VROOM!!" I don't know why, but this made me laugh hysterically the rest of the way home. I'm pathetic hahaha

pylea 04-07-11 06:24 PM

I think hipsterism is brought up way too frequently in regards to fixed gear bikes. Yeah it's irritating when people do things just to fit a certain image, but talking about it all the time just means you care too much. I like people who don't give a ****.

One time I was next to this guy at a red light, and he did track stand... I'll admit it was kind of sexy... I definitely checked him out, but then I noticed his Deep Vs and was like meh.

This made me laugh while at work.

vw addict 04-07-11 06:35 PM

so trackstands aren't cool if you are rolling on deep v's? you just contradicted yourself. congrats.

pylea 04-07-11 06:47 PM

I have no justification for it, that's why it was a shameful confession. I think Deep Vs are fine but for some reason I no longer found that guy attractive when I saw his. :cry:

Another confession, I got cleared to get back on the bike today.

I ride the worlds biggest pos high ten fixed gear, Vilano SS with eighth inch julians. I bought it before i started lurking here and thought i was bad ass. My BB is shot and my headset is no longer smooth. Suffice to say, i hate my bike.

edit: also, i got the julians because the stock hubs went to crap in 4 months.

jdgesus 04-07-11 08:23 PM

confession: i horde handle bars

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I feel not as bad for having many sets of bar now...

jdgesus 04-07-11 08:36 PM

i horde in general :lol:

pylea 04-07-11 08:37 PM

For the horde!

When I got my ride 2 years ago, i did some basic googling to see what the general feedback for it was. (That's confession 1) BF/SSFG was the very first link i clicked on, and it was downhill from there. General consensus: Dawes MTA = turd. Oh well.

It's heavy. It's got crap components. It's a little too big. Ain't worth the upgrades. Confession 2: these sentiments echoed in my head every time I rode it 10 miles to work and back. Eventually those thoughts transitioned into more positive ones, like the fact that the bike was a christmas present from my sister and the awesomeness of that alone sometimes made up for the BMX cranks, and i couldn't ignore the fact that i was slowly losing weight and the daily commute started to get easier. Best advice i ever got from reading these forums was "just ride the damn thing".

Still have the bike, with numerous yet economical upgrades. Confession 3: I bought a pair of pink veeps from a friend solely on the deal he gave me, but i'm kinda digging pink wheels on black frame. I keep saving up for a new frame, then end up using the money for something else instead (new camera, records, eats). Eventually i'll get it together to upgrade, but it's funny how my initial insecurities caused by perusing BF were eventually alleviated by the same forum. I like this bike, if not for any other reason than it's mine.

No you don't. Spend a week at a bike co-op and you'll see the most horrid -why the **** would you - conversions

I see those kinda bikes all time. What some people will do for the sake of impressing their friends. I don't know which is worse. The kids that build these monstrosities, or their friends that are impressed by them?
