If it gets you to where you're going that's all that really matters. I think we might be too old for all those crazy stunts anyways. I dunno I would like to get back out there and try it again.... and skateboarding too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 damn...I just logged on to help you out ube. oh well enjoy your new bike. be sure to get a high pressure pump or the air cartridges. don't use a gas station pump...they inflate the tires too quickly and can make your tubes blow on occasion. most people that I know that have fixies...also have geared bikes. ;) shhh! of course there are a few badass' out there that only ride fixie.

48:16 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 what's up guys. two questions. bought a bike i'm not really fond of the color. does anyone have any info on frame repainting? prices etc? can i do it myself and still have it be on point? also...this thing has got cable guides underneath the top tube that drive me crazy. is there anyway i can file, saw or dremel them off without compromising the rest of the frame.?

cloner Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 i painted my frame with acrylics and primer.. now it looks like a big fish bowl with goldfish swimming around it. as far as the cable guides, you can probably just dremel them off..it wont do shit to the frame.

The color kinda determines the wait though. Typically they'll wait till they have enough things to paint to make it worth their time to paint. popular colors will obviously be done quicker. you can do it yourself. Spray paint can look really good, but it won't really hold up to abuse. its just too soft a paint. you could have auto paint put into a can, but that's going to get as expensive as just having someone else paint it. I painted one of my bikes and it looked just kick ass for an entire week. cable guides. yea, you can get rid of them...just don't get obsessive about removing them completely. I'd just dremel off the parts that stick out and bug you. I don't think I'd run the chance of fucking up the entire frame by trying to completely remove them.

!@#$% Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 i mangled one of mine trying to get them off. i gave up because it didn't seem worth it now it's just a rusty chunk of metal stuck to the frame. i didn't bother with any of the other ones after that disaster.

Joker Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 48:16... I just recently had my frame and fork repainted about three months ago. It took forever but well worth the wait. Here in town there is a guy who paints bikes, specifically. With so many frame builders in town, he's deep in business. I'd call around to a few local bike shops and ask if there's any paint shops in town who specialize in bike painting. Chances are, especially in your town, there's a fairly well respected one. The cost for mine, straight black high-gloss was $250. I wanted a new bike, for $1300 (Team price knocked down from $3500) but the price of a new paint job was calling me. BMX NERDS... in my possession I have a PK Ripper with Landing Gear forks, straight from the 80's. Even when I was co-sponsored by Hutch back in the day... I wanted a PK Ripper. I finally have one now. But... it needs some help. I want to bring it back to it's glory day and hook up some goods for it. Is there a place I can look at online for old BMX stuff? Any ideas?

Joker Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Originally posted by Joker ... I wanted a PK Ripper. I finally have one now. I just read my own post and started laughing at this... most guys my age (Early mid-life crisis) start spending their hard earned money on really nice cars, audio equipment or whatever. I opted for an old BMX bike. Sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48:16 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 thanks guys. i think the repaint might be out of my price range right now, i'm going to build it up and see if those cable guides irritate me as much as they do now before i dremel those mofos off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoink Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I asked here a while ago about some bike suggestions, and now who knows how long after that Ive finally come into some money. Anyhoo...Im gettin a bike for sure. And Id like to get some good reccomendations since I know now what I want one for. Id like to get a middle of the pack one...trying to stay under five hundred.....if I can, Im lookin to do it and pick this up as a hobby, not sport wise, but enough to get me doing it alot....not just once in a while, so, my main problem is Im not sure which type to get, I want it for city/town riding (which is what I will be doing mostly, but I wouldnt mind having the capability of going off road and hitting some trails as well...so it would not be a full on race bike, I would also like something that would have nice storage capability, ie. I would be able to strap a pack or two on if I had to travel with some gear.... Ok hopefuly you bike nerds dont mind answering this kind of question for the kabillionth time in a row now.....thanks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
