Dude, you're a fool. My shop does just as well "in real life" as we do on the internet.

I thought we already clarified this was directed towards Nogram... You resort to name calling, ask to end the discussion, then edit your previous post twenty minutes after the discussion was over. You're an adult, but it seems like you're threatened in some way. I'm getting the feeling you both enjoy voicing your opinion, but you're not into finishing what you started. You should try a megaphone instead of an open forum.

Nice edit.

You mess with one of us, you mess with the whole trailer park.

Hey dick head, they're mobile homes, alright?

Mobile home park??? That's for those doublewides and fancy abodes.

Thanks for the compliment. I didn't realize I was worthy.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. When the hell did that happen?

Ha, Nogram? Like No Grams? Because of the kilo weights. Ha.

I'll show myself out.

I'm the most seemingly important person you'll ever meet.

What is your opinion on the Nitto dream handlebar? I want to swap the stock track bars on my Pista and the Nitto's look classy and match the chrome contact points the bike currently. I really wanted something with flat/wing tops, but they aren't necessary.

Also, do you prefer OFF!'s first 4 EP's or the full length album?

I prefer Scrod's prices. Nagrom and the like are children, caught a peak behind the curtain, and freaked out. These markups are completely ordinary.

I've never made a single claim about any of these criteria on this forum. In fact, I'm a successful accountant and on occasion consult a locally owned bike shop. Making assertions about what I don't know regarding how a retail business survives or thrives is certainly foolish on your part.

I'm sure there are better forums if you want to discuss microeconomics.

Scrod,
What's the best hardcore album so far this decade?

I have those bars on my BK and like them a lot. The drop is nice without being too deep and the upper bends offer a decent hand position even without using hoods.

I like everything they've put out but if I had to pick, I'd choose the four EPs.

That WAS me finishing what I started (and you're just bummed because I'm right).

If you really want more, come by the shop sometime.

Define hardcore. The lines are pretty blurry these days.

prooftheory 04-18-13 07:03 AM

Good point. Take the definition as broadly as you like. My guess is that if you recommend it, it will probably fit within my definition.

Scrodzilla 04-18-13 07:37 AM

Anything by Trash Talk, Ceremony, Punch or Loma Prieta.

prooftheory 04-18-13 07:45 AM

Thanks, ... will look into them.

riot2003 04-18-13 08:34 AM

I've seen Punch a couple times. They ruin me every time. Thats good stuff.

Ok, great. We'll meet by the playground at 3pm. Haha!

I love Punch and Loma Prieta!

Check out Congenital Death!

Me too. Those first 4 eps are intense.

Thoughts?

Scrodzilla 04-18-13 02:28 PM

Meh. Without getting into too much detail, someone who got fired from Leader last year now works for State. It's pretty obvious, huh?

You can buy a real 725 frame, Alpina fork and ZS-3 headset for around 40 bucks more.
