Joker Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ugh... I really want a SS mountain bike, badly, and those photos aren't helping me out. Being that this is my last year of racing road maybe I'll treat myself to a new bike come December. The weather here is awesome!!!

T_R_O_N Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 been looking at getting a fixed gear to commute with (its summer, fuck wearing clipless shoes just to go to the grocery store) and ive been looking at this website says its freewheel but i rode it at the lbs and it wasnt.. hate the stem on it (has some bmx brick stem) but its only like 500. plus it doesnt look TOO hipsterish thoughts? ugly bike is ugly.... for 500 you can get a simple mercier and have some fun with the extra cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost my confirmation email... i have no idea, im out of town. and ernie, its gary fisher, so basically a trek (on a semi related note, all gary fisher mountainbikes after 2010 will say trek on the downtube and "gary fisher collection" real small on the top tube. found that interesting), which is a brand i know. which is a major plus in my book. that and it has almost zero logos, which tells me they arent trying to sell it based on looks (unlike every single other fixed gear ive seen for sale, which are sold on looks) and finally, ive never ridden a fixed gear further then 25 yards (except when i was drunk once but that was on a football field so it doesnt count) so two brakes is a BIG plus in my book. unless i can get a serious deal on someones custom built fixie, im going with the gary fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this is the frame, just imagine in gunmetal grey with purple stickers and a rigid fork. im not embedding, its a huge image http://www.google.com/url?source=imgres&ct=img&q=http://www.bryan.ostrand.net/wp-content/uploads/team925.JPG&sa=X&ei=ji8eTJbNMsL78AatlI3MDA&ved=0CAQQ8wc4DA&usg=AFQjCNGYyQniZmCE5R4Vll52M8TJC7ziow) when i look at it, it either looks like a mtb or a road bike. the thing that seperates the two are the handlebars. if it has drops, i want it to look like a road bike, if it doesnt im going to want it to look like a mtb. and that gf frame looks like my mtb, so i like it. and no offense tron, didnt know you rode a mercier.... but id rather ride for the same reason as you, but with a bike none of you ride. its how i justify buying a fixed gear instead of a nice 3speed beach cruiser. and thats hilarious about the ripper frame, i saw that bike advertised on a site and i thought to myself it cant be THAT good if its made by DC, thanks for confirming it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogieHouser Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I've always ridden a bike, but I'm new to the whole "scene" of bicycles. I rode my first track bike about a month ago, and it was definitely fun. Thinking about picking up a Mercier Kilo TT (this was suggested) as my starter bike. I'm sure its been covered, but I dont really wanna skim through 400+ pages to find the pieces, so, how is this bike? Also, why the fuck do these people in town hate on people who have a freewheel? Is coasting not cool? I'm not trying to peddle down some of the hills here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_R_O_N Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 i never understood why people who all clearly share a love for all things bicycle have to find some way to look down upon one another. with that said.... this is awesome. ppqform587.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
