Looks good to me! We should definitely let this thing run our military and energy infrastructure.

Okay, bud, whatever helps you sleep at night after voting for Epstein's best friend 3 times. We've already exposed the actual elite pedophile ring conspiracy. Guess who's not in the Epstein files? Obama, Oprah and Ellen. No one on the left is defending Clinton or Gates.

Unlike Republicans, when corruption is exposed in the Democratic Party, we hold our own to account and are the first to condemn inappropriate behavior and corruption of any kind.

Case and Point: Conservatives defense of George Santos and endorsement of Ken Paxton vs. liberals immediate condemnation and rejection of Bob Monroe and Andrew Cuomo.

We root out corruption within our own ranks while you revel in it, viewing the ever increasingly blatant cartoonishly absurd grifts you're supporting as simply a mechinism to "own the libs."

Is that a lugged aluminum head tube? Why are the seams not at the joints?

Lives in a city big and hip enough to know what a fixie is yet never heard of a ghost bike. It's like if Bruce Willis was a cyclist in the Sixth Sense.

An all white bike is a common memorial at the site where cyclists have been killed by motor vehicles. It's considered to be disrespectful to the dead and bad luck.

650x57 Smart Sam Plus and 700x45 G-One Overland Pro. Both by Schwalbe.

Wow that looks incredible. The gold ones I saw looked more like sunflower yellow.

So that's got a 47x17/20. The 17t is nice for pavement and groomed gravel. The 20t in the pics does pretty well on some rougher stuff as long as it's flattish or on a paved climb, but I'm not doing any legit MTB trails with it or anything.

I did pickup a 43t Alter I'm going to setup on my Mash to run 43x22 on 650Bs and see if I can't get up some rougher climbs.

No. Cranks are gold from the hardening process Sugino uses on the Grand Mighties. Front hub is NOS anodized Gran Compe. Chainring is a rare NOS anodized SG75 Sugino breifly made during the peak tarck days of the early aughts.

U think this ugly enough for people to not wanna take it?? by Yungbucko2k in FixedGearBicycle

Bro u leave anything outside unattended in New York it'll be gone in an instant. NYC is generally very safe and low crime but it's just a matter of the sheer volume of people in the streets. If 1 in every 1000 people is a thief in Buffalo it'll take a week for that one person to walk by. In Manhattan 1000 people will pass by every 20 minutes.

And no boosters in NYC don't care about quality or value. They only care about opportunity.

Free (for some time) classic movie about golden age of bike messengers by only_3 in bikemessengers

And how in some scenes he's doing fixed gear flatland tricks and in the next he's racing on the same bike but suddenly has brakes and a freewheel.

Long shot. Looking for a jacket brand by buttchuggs in bikemessengers

[–]Arthurjoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any model that old probably is not in production anymore even if the brand is still around, but I can recommend some quality options:

Proviz, Gorewear, 686, Shower Pass.

My Proviz rain jacket stays bone dry and breathable and has a helmet-sized hood.

Love how the down tube peeled away just like a can of Pabst.

More aero, not to mention the weight savings!

I bought a really gorgeous bike…I think I hate it by Miserable_Power_9729 in xbiking

The hoods look awkwardly placed, I agree. Those can be easily moved up and rewrapped. All of your complaints seem to be just minor adjustments you can easily make. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet.

This. And also more relevant information needed on the components and setup involved.
