thinkin baout bikes

that would be really fun.

shit just melts off so fast here. when they get enough snow in boulder they set up some track in n. boulder park. at least they used to.

npr inspires new wave of bike builders. it seems like yesterday when you could just buy a fixie and be cool. now they want you building shit.

awaiting story about npr listener impaled on shattered bamboo top tube.

lol

yeah these bamboo bikes freak me out a bit, i know it'd probably be fine when built by someone who knows what's what but... it's bamboo!

"Everyone who leaves the studio says, 'Wow, my bike is my favorite object now,' " says bike expert and engineer Marty Odlin.

favorite object?

thinkin baout a giant bowery (lol i know rite) or similar for a commute bike - to run as singlespeed rather than fixed. tho i would like something with braze-ons for a rack on the back, and the bowery ain't got em. maybe something like this??

pretty cool imo

q: what do i get????

u should get a mooooooots

get a job sonny *taps cane*

well yah that is the point do u see

A friend of mine has just started designing Ti bikes - his first prototype is a commuter but he'll be making a road bike soon I think.

what do you want this bike to do?

gbx your CX w/ hub gearing bike is near reality!! (minus the DI2 bits, but u can't have everything u kno)

haitch thanks for the flag on this-- i have a cross frame with an internal eight and a grip shift hack. im gonna check out the versa brifter!

ok, its $180. my hack cost less than $5 and works pretty well. :(

ooof
