SteveAustin Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 awesome. that pista is just simply gorgeous. I'm giving some serious consideration to liquidating all of my 26" wheeled bikes and buying a custom ti or steel 29er with eccentric bottom bracket and disc mounts. A true all around do everything bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAustin Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 adderall...give tyler durden or dirty_habit a holler...they're both into bmx. there used to be a bmx specific thread around here somewhere.

Guest kidlugz Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 i'd dump my girlfriend for that new pista. consider yourself blessed. this summer is going to be monumental for me. it's going to be the first time since i started riding that i haven't smoked butts. that, combined with the fact i'm finally graduating from school and will actually have some income to buy a new road bike. i'm looking at some of the steel/carbon lemond diddies or perhaps a guru rig. when the time comes i'll be sure to consult the stone cutter family in regards to my purchase.i'm so fucking psyched it keeps me awake at night just thinking about it. here's a beauty posted today on the fixedgear gallery i thought you guys might enjoy. http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2004/cash2.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAustin Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 we were just talking about those at my sponsors shop. $440 is damn cheap. One of the guys on the team just ordered one and is gonna set it up fixie. I'm gonna throw a carbon fork on one of my fixies. For some reason...I'm afraid I'm gonna break it. I know thats kinda absurd...but I'm just kinda wigged out about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilush Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Originally posted by cinnamon toast crunch804 everyone rides a fixedgear/trakebike these days... o i know! what the trend seems to be is buying a really really nice fixed and not knowing how to ride it properly. i see so many hipster girls trying to ride their fixed and just looking ridiculous. kind sad. then they look at me with my cruiser and roll their eyes. only to have me zoom past them in my fixed two weeks later.

SteveAustin Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Originally posted by cinnamon toast crunch804 everyone rides a fixedgear/trakebike these days... and thats a bad thing? I've never met a jackass fixie rider. Although, I'm sure they're out there. as far as hipster girls trying to ride them...the bike and traffic will take care of them.

Devilush Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 sf has a TON of asshole fixed riders. usually living in hte mission area. mostly hipster dudes that we've never seen before then act like assholes. go figure the city. eh the hipster girls can kiss my arse.

SteveAustin Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 devilush...you should follow the hipster wannabe types around and makem nervouse. when they crash, you can bust out a camera, take a pic, laugh and then ride away. maybe you could even play a form of hipster bingo with it and digital / polaroid cameras...only rule being that all the pics have to be of crashed out hipsters. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kidlugz Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 the fixed trend in toronto is still confined pretty much to couriers. although give it another year or two and i'm certain it will gain popularity with the masses. toronto always seems to be a couple steps behind "cool" american cities like nyc or san fran. and i agree with steve's comments. it definatly takes a certain kind of physical ability to ride fixed in traffic. all those bandwagon jumpers will get weeded out sooner or later.

I'd like to hop on one now though, I bet you can haul some serious ass on those crooked handlebar skinny tire types... Does it have brakes? How the hell do you stop? No brakes. If you're moving, the pedals are turning - you basically apply backwards pressure to stop. I've met my share of asshole bicyclists in nyc. None were riding fixed gear though. They were all middle aged 9-5 guys wearing head to toe color coordinated spandex (freds i guess). My favorite is still the fat guy making plane noises as he rode down the avenue, and yelled at me in a nasally voice as I rode around him. (Think comic book guy on a bike). I dont see many hipster girls on fixed gear though -- they're probably chilling in the hospital already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 my pista has no brakes. the gear ratio is a bit different from my last bike too, so i'm still getting used to stopping suddenly. i blasted a red light just yesterday. another thing, if its wet, it's not always so easy to stop. sometimes you counteract your forward momentum and it slows you, but the pedals can lock the rear wheel, allowing you to continue moving forward rolling on a front wheel..that's a skid the track is a real merge of [wo]man and machine a friend was yelling at me for driving recklessly. at least i don't hit people.
