They all do these days, Chris, it's the thing.

Move the saddle as far forward as it'll go, Ken? How are the tyres - nice and slick?

could do with some white tyres though i think.

sweet

ooer i like the pic of cutty's one way, i was checking that model out

the 'wobblenaught' site reads like it was written by dr bronner

i'm selling the one-way. too many bikes, too little money.

on one! nice going... i have on one handlebars on both of my bikes; they totally rule.

don't suppose you have Midges do you? thinking about trying them on my cross-check

a mary on each bike (moutain and road, although "road" is still what most people would call mountain). i also have an on one steel fork on the road bike.

tell me why i shouldn't buy these, only a week after buying a different set:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Vittoria_Rubino_Tyre/5360018648/

only £11 each, and i only spent £8 each on the others.

Dude since I sent you that link they have removed the white/white option!!

it's still there for the folding ones - which are twice as much. and have double the thread count, whatever the fuck that is (lol n00b).

higher thread count means that the casing is more supple, which theoretically will make it handle better. theoretically.

currently selling the bike in the first post of this thrd at the moment!

what will you buy with the money? SELLING BIKES TO BUY BIKES!

ha nah I've still got two others atm.

Trying to save as much as possible for a deposit on a house u__u.

I've had two ppl seriously interested. One a retired baby boomer who is into masters rowing (huge cockhuffer)

and this nice kiwi chap who reckons he used to ride elite in NZ 10 or 12 yrs ago. He's coming around this evening to check it out.

nice kiwi chap lol

sold to him for $50 less than what it cost me to put the bike together two yrs ago ^__^

Just purchased for my (classic, understated) fixie:

it's not understated anymore

fancyman's seat

i used to work at a company that compiled a database of the bike industry, and entering "fi'zi:k" was always the biggest pain in the ass. i hate them and always will, regardless of whether or not their products are any good.

that saddle is pretty offensive! what colour is ur frame?

dont know if i'll sell my old l@@k frame. prob won't get much for it, the paint job is pretty fucked. Loved riding this bike back in the day :(

The saddle is pretty offensive - it arrived today. It's a Planet X own-brand fi'zi:k (fuck, Jordan, you're right) rip-off. I had hoped the central stripe was white; it's actually silver. The frame is racing green.

nice build, but do you really ride yr bullhorns way up like that??

yeah they might be a bit high, was just trying it out - i ain't used to this low slung roadie posture.

xpost- that's a pretty good ripoff- i thought it *was* an airone.

BONERTIME

the TT bike was a hand-me-down from a teammate. trek's top of the line TT bike from 2004. hobbled it together this week for a stage race with a TT.

the wheels are new edge 1.45 tubulars. 18 spokes in the front, 24 in the rear, DT190 ceramic bearing hubs. the wheelset weighs 1089g. i have schwalbe durano tubulars on there.

it looks like the front wheel hits the downtube

The white glare from the window obscures part of the saddle and makes it look like some super futuristic, super-thin thing.

nice! I want a road bike w/ similar lever setup i've recently decided.

I don't really know much about bikes but it rides pretty well imo. It is a Fuji in case you can't make out the badge. I think it was like $25 at the flea market (got a new saddle though).

the angle of that seat looks.. painful

yup

the kickstand!

It Came From do i buy a thing

crosser is in the shop due to fork recall boo

whatevs have fun

I bought a bike.

looks mean! what up with the stem tho

stem nothin'! you should see the pedals!

appears to have been untouched in any way by original owner since leaving the shop. stem's due for a flip, pedals due to be melted down for scrap.

the angle of that seat looks.. painful

probably not as bad as it looks but I had to do a lot of adjusting (this was right after I installed it)

the kickstand!

This just goes right over my head. Is there something weird about that kickstand, or are kickstands just lame in general?

virginia plain a bike that good-lookin' ought to go slow so folks can appreciate it

kickstands are funny. i never used the word lame.

i am the resident roadie snob but i try to be positive. following hunt3r's example ;)
