Oh, this thread is gonna be great. My bikes are ***** so Adriano is going to be reeling with solid comments. Pics to come.

Hairnet you better include a disclaimer for those faint of heart/ easily offended. It's not going to be pretty in here.

anyone, dont be afraid to join the pig pile on!


http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...e/DSC_4602.jpg

frame is too big to ever look good and arguably a touch big for sporty riding, could use a longer stem
radical/10

http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...t/DSC_4267.jpg

mismatched wheels hipster points, having no shame and displaying the bikesdirect moniker, saddle and tape mismatch, why not two cages, why not sram, maybe too much bar drop, could use a longer stem
awesome/10

http://www.pedalroom.com/p/fuji-fuji...ro-2635_15.jpg

jackass drop to bar, jackass drop of bar, wrong fork rake not because the length bothers me or because it doesnt look "tight," tank wheels, professional stiff frame plus spds and a gosh darn cross tire, maybe a longer stem, front tire mounted a schmidge off *see me after class haha
i will specifically note that i like those cranks
[race and get some] tubular[s]/10

http://www.pedalroom.com/p/trek-earl-2417_7.jpg

saddle and tape mismatch, heavy wheels might as well go out on the wave they rode in on, no end levers, probably could use a longer stem
addendum: valve caps.

nice/10

carleton 09-21-11 08:10 AM

its after labor day, srm not necessary on gameday i think, chain too tight maybe, needs rear gumwall, wheel decals, paint seatpost, brakeless hipster, i wanted those old pedals sadface
its odd how much the black top spacer does for me.
mad pro/10

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6208/...d0e6cd88_z.jpg

fork paint is close but doesnt match, black band on fork isnt at rim or tire, short stem, black stem, saddle quite forward, meh on eggbeaters, chain a bit tight, wheel decals
props on bang on bar and hood angle

This is the best thread in a while.

J.Wolfe 09-21-11 09:35 AM

agreed. (making sure to get a updated pic in the next few days for this!)

Gyeswho 09-21-11 09:46 AM

Fenders are for larger tires which is why it looks so strange
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6055/...4a1a7852_b.jpg

I swap tires occasionally

dude, your cross check looks sweet!

full run housing would be more tough, meh on brooks, meh on saddle, meh lights, plastic cages, wheel decals, longer stem maybe
hits damn near all of the buttons i currently have.
cream of the cream/10

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6011/...91071d9e_b.jpg
1.5 tires would suffice, better with the hed3s, flat bars, brooks cages and lights ditto, need a mega stem for flat bars
postapocolyptic tough/10

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6084/...af6a70b4_b.jpg[/QUOTE]
dittos, needs apex, needs atacs, needs bar ends, needs lower rear bags, stickers, progresso is better, trailer needs spinners, streamers, and pinwheels

spoke card, wheel decals, mercier logo, frame stickers, no end levers, housing looks long
really, stock is way more awesome and sensible than blang blanged.
smart/10

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0348.jpg[/QUOTE]

no white rims! short stem, bars rotated too far up, saddle rotated down a bit, no foot retention, get low flange hubs while youre out
nice/10

http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/..._6540166_o.jpg[/QUOTE]

blue rims, stem could be longer, chopped bars, maybe rotate those cut bars up a touch, colored tires
vittoria paves are the only colored tires that get a pass
