Nice wheels, Wippermans?

I got some clipless pedals/shoes and they're so sweet. So easy to use and they're way more solid than clips and straps.

 

[DonaldM]

Weinmanns.

How much were those shoes/pedals? I hear they aren't cheap.

If you need someone to take those pedals and clips off your hands.. I have money.

 

[Steezeman]

Weinmanns, that's what I meant. Wippermans are chains haha.

They're like, $70 or so for the pedals, and I think $90 for the shoes (the ones I got at least) but I traded my bmx bike for them + a helmet + cash. And nah, I'm gonna keep my clips and straps for riding to school and stuff.

Townies!

Not to keen on the "springed" Brooks seats, but everything else is pretty much dialed. Now I really wanna get a rear rack and paint my bike some sort of tan color.

i want to paint my frame white, but i haven't had the time.. i might just get it powdercoated.

So many Deep V's and top tube pads! I can't really talk, half the dudes I ride with have Concepts haha.

Can anyone recommend me confortable and durable messenger bags, my bag is simply bad and I doesnt take care of carrying Massacre orders on the days with more orders. I've been looking around and found this one I liked http://www.manhattanportage.com/catalog/Messenger-Bags/NY-Bike-Messenger/90 but i'm up to suggestions.

The green one has a backpedal brake and the orange on the back has disc brakes... weird.

 

[Steezeman]

I'm pretty sure the green one actually has a 3 speed hub. And for bags, go with Chrome. I've heard they're really good.

 

[jorje]

ya i just got a chrome citizen bag. I use it for school and i can fir all my books in it without it looking too overpacked.

 

[MAGAIVER]

Wow those bags do look real good, price's quite out of my range for now tough.
