Scrod,

How should I respond kids who make fun of my shaved legs tomorrow at school? (I'm shaving them tonight)

Considering you already asked a few pages back how to handle being bullied, I'd say you're screwed.

Do you have a link to that thread? I dig the Superb Sprint, but like you, I will not buy from a company like that.

There have been a few where it's been discussed but this one is the most entertaining. It starts to get good at post #35 when Superb dude comes in and "bla bla blas" everyone to death.

For the record, I pretty much sum it all up in post #54.

I really wish Superb weren't jacks... cause the frame is pretty nice looking imo

I agree. I had even said (in another thread, before the ****storm happened) that I wanted to buy one.

It's a pretty spot on cdale track clone... Unless you ask them what it is?

Just own up to it damn it. I really don't even care if they cloned it, I think its a good idea actually. Remake a $1.5k vintage track frame so its more accessible to the general public? fantastic! Deny that that's exactly what you're doing when you have no ground to stand on? No longer interested....

They even started making it in a color pretty close to metallic glacier blue, for ****'s sake:

No they didn't. They came up with that color. Smooth welds and a lugged fork? yeah. all them...

<__<

Squeeze your nuts real hard and walk into class.

I, personally, would just wear pants.......

What school do you go to? I can hand craft some local advice.

I say homebrew tells them that he did it with a straight razor, and if they still make fun of them, he should offer to shave their throats. haha. With only a hint sarcasm. Just a hint.

Pretty much.

Now I'm thinking of finding out whether Pelizzoli can make a Leggenda road frame. I miss my Cannondales, but I want one with 130mm spacing and cable guides/stops. If not, I still want a Leggenda track frame.

Scrod- are you happy I'm clearing more room in your shop by buying that 53 Excel frame today? Hope so!

Well when I was in high school I swam pretty competitively, and I shaved it all for district championships. Chicks were entertained/curious about my shaved legs, so I let them touch it. And if anyone is going to make fun of you because of it, they're probably tools anyway (who won't amount to anything in life) so you shouldn't care.

Yeah, I shaved for swimming. I only had one dude (tool) in PE that tried to make fun of me. Everyone else looked at me like I had dedication to my sport and thought it was pretty cool.

One recommendation for shaved legs: silky pants. Contemplating shaving now just for the silky pants.

went ahead and fixed that.

So basically you wan't a Canondale Criterium replica right?



You can find one on ebay/craigslist/etc in proper time

I actually like that better. And you had to do it dry.

OH. THIS thread. I had completely forgotten about this thread and was interested to finally see it. And then I instantly remembered having seen it before.

what do you mean?

Yeah, except spaced at 130mm instead of 126/127mm so I can use modern road groups.

I used to ride a Cannondale Criterium and I loved it so much.

ugh. i went into the superb store in Boston the other day and it had this air of smugness about it that made me wanna feel sick. But the frames do look nice i must say
