There are no other 2 speed, 3 speed, or 7 speed bikes made in the entire world. He is the inventor of cycling freedom and we are lucky to have such a creative genius among us. A true visionary.

What gets me is the 47 other jackasses who have given him $16,800.

For $849 (or more) "Get an upgraded, tricked-out SHIFTY CYCLES bicycle hand-delivered to you in New York City. Your dream machine will be delivered fully-tuned & assembled with a Brooks B17 leather saddle and matching Brooks leather handlebar tape in Classic Brown."

I'm curious where you'd look to get something like that actually, looked around for something that's hooded and long-sleeved/long-legged, the best I've seen seems to be bibs (which are sleeveless), or skinsuits (which come as long-sleeve but not long legs), neither of which are hooded so the back of your neck cops it from the sun.


It's a morphsuit.

I have a stinger suit for this purpose, but my main gripe is its dark navy colour. That site lists full-face ones, which is not ideal for numerous reasons, but I dare say open-face variants exist.

Thanks anyway, I shall do some further research. Sometimes it's just knowing a few keywords is all that's needed.

They want to watch if it actually sells? Watcher buyer.

haha, so much JA going on with that ebay listing. Really wondering how a dent like that could occur from simply locking it to a sign post tho

I dunno, he said it occurred while locked up and I've never had my bike fall while locked against a post. Maybe I'm just not that creative in recreating ways a dent like that could occur.

I meant the bike could have fallen while he was trying to lock it or he just dropped it. Who knows. I hope no one buys that garbage

She may not look like much, kid; but she's got it where it counts...

Bike was locked up to the post when a snow plow went by.
