Dirty_habiT Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Please fill me in on what's so bad ass about these bikes... I mean, to me it comes down to frame geometry, if the geometry's right, then the bike will ride good.... provided it's made of good materials as well it will be a nice bike, but for the life of me I just can't figure out what the infatuation with these fixed gear, seemingly normal looking road bikes is.

dosoner Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 the thig about them for me, is just the feeling of the ride. you get a really connected to the bike feeling. it makes you a better rider, you learn to really pay attention to whats going on around you and whats going to be happing in front of you when you get there. its a "pure" feeling i guess, for a lack of better words. not to mention the weight savings, the nice tight and quick handaling that works well riding in heavy traffic. its just alot of fun basicly. and real easy to mantain.

dosoner Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 just snapped a picture of my 03 pista concept in street mode: she's in desperate need of a good washing, after the last few rainy days iv been working in on her. sometimes i change out the bullhorns for the track drops, and head on down to the velodrome for some real track action, just so i can say i keep it real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_SecretAgentX9 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 non-conceptual [attachmentid=22212] crankset is the nicest thing on this bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 it was lame that they kept the pista 04 chrome color scheme the same in 05 it seems like a lot of people have them now. i'm gonna have to paint mine or something. i love that de rosa.

dosoner Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 i always liked the 03 pistas. that is an 03 right? thats the year they were grey? much better than the 04/05/06 color scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figarofigaro Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 yes critical mass is dope. i rode in it today. mpls, about 130 people which is decent turn out for us lately. who else rode today and where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosoner Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 rode cm last night in chicago. if i had to guess i would say we had about 1000 last night, good turnout this month. i had to cut out before the ride was over though, due to having a real bad headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh so modern Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 the winter/salt braving bike: early 80s peugeot. one love. also: 06 bianchi pista is rather gnarly looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh so modern Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 also, if anyone could help identify the above it would be appreciated. things that may be of note: + simplex derailleurs, shifters, and dropouts + mafac brakes and levers + mavic rims any help would be rad. peace.

dosoner Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 anyone know where i can pick up a bianchi carbon track fork by chance? i would love to replace the one i had. and get rid of this shitty klien carbon one i got right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosoner Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 or i might just get a pair of these: i dont know though, pretty similar specs as the bianchi stock track carbon fork, but they may be a bit too aero for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosoner Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 modern: is that bike a fix? or a single speed? i fond it odd that its only running one break and its on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh so modern Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 i simply took off the derailleurs. direct drive single speed. one love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 okay fixie rider.... explain this to me: what's with the cards in the rear spokes? Are they track numbers? Why do I see peole on the street with them? How come someone can find a cheap beater bike, take off all the components and call it a fixie and sell it for 10x what it's worth? Average road bike - most of the gear = more money ??? WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 here's some sexy fixies... just because I want one. ^ bonus throwup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh so modern Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 i am not the most proven fixed rider on here fersure, however the spokecards are for races, they act as id. much like a number plate but more improvised and DIY. i suppose kids keep em in there as a mark of participation, personally i think one is tolerable but kids that are rocking three or more just look rediculous because doesnt that make it harder for the mod to see who you are in a race anyway? i dunno. peace. ps - somebody help be ID that peugeot up there. approximate year of production and model?

Tough Love Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 im not really a hardcore cyclist myself. heres a better shot of the vehicles.
