A look at my bike.
 

So I have a Takara Kabuto I got for free in a dumpster at a local college. For a while I've been riding it like it was, but then I met a guy named Dan. First time I rode full fixed was in the middle of a group ride. Someone got a flat and he suggested I try fixed. Started riding fixed the entire ride and haven't gone back sense. I changed the handlebars to bull horns using the original handlebars but now I'm finally changing it up. Soon I'll get some lizard skin tape, a new 48T crank set, and new bottom bracket and chain. I'll also be getting some gator skins in the summer. I wanted to change my frame to look different so I did this. The front tire is going to stay black, but this is the back tire and frame set. The white stuff is pages from a random Japanese Manga. It shows my love for anime and bikes all in one.

That is one most excellent story! I shall print it out so I can read it over and over again should this thread become buried by other monumental threads.

OP are you aware that the paper they print mange on yellows very easily like newspaper?

Don't forget to frame it :lol:

i like the idea of an artist hand drawing anime like a comic strip on a frame and deep v. actually a cool idea if executed right

Keep up the dumpster diving or whatever you are doing, to yield bikes that are cleverly camouflaged shortly after joining you...

Let the kid live, huh? Sheesh.

lmao @ scrod.

Arsenul- welcome. Even though you got the Takara for free I wouldnt recommend upgrading any parts on it. Stick with what you have on the bike already and just run it to the ground and save up for a new bike. Gator tires, and lizard bar tapes, bb, crankset are really, really unnecessary and a waste of money for that bike.

I said nothing about wanting him dead.

cool story. I had a Tarkara Kabuto and mine ended up in a dumpster.

Yeah well don't forget what the Buddha said about hating on stuff.

Leuky, are you aware "mange" is a Japanese slang term for a woman's lady garden?

Same as papaya in Cuba.

Close enough
Could've been worse, I could've said that certain explicit genre that starts with an "h" and involves plenty of tentacles and femanine brains being ****ed out.
