The Fixed Gear Thread!

youuuu need to raise your seat.

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah, if you riding it like that then you're either sitting way too low or your bike is too big.

 

[dyson16]

I would but its been in my mates grandads shed for like 20 years so the seatpost is seized inside the seat tube.

 

[Hep Greg]

lol its useless then...

 

[Sshields32]

is it all good if i post a straight road bike in here doodz? i feel like it would be more welcome here then in the bike thread.

 

[Steezeman]

Just try to get the post out, do mad work on it dawg.

Sam, go for it. It better be super sick though!

Edit: Phil Wood frame, whaaaaaat.

 

[dyson16]

yesss! i got it out but i might be in need of a new seatpost as the one ive got is very rusty

 

[Steezeman]

Haha, right on dude. Good luck with that, make sure you grease it up or whatever so it doesn't get stuck again.

 

[DonaldM]

So I'm an idiot... I didn't realize I needed to get cottered cranks for my bike.. ahhhh thought I was done spending money.. oh well..

Anyone need an FSA 170mm crankset?

I might keep it.. not sure.

 

[wadekinkade]

the bike shop in my town has a masi and a specialized for the same price which is better???

 

[Sshields32]

this bike really wont be that sick. its gonna take a long time to finish up.i need mad new parts. and its gonna take a while to cover the frame in 5gum wrappers and clear coat it.

 

[Taylor Mefford]

Wade, get the masi, they are more classic and have more street cred, since everyone has langsters. Nothing wrong with langsters, though.

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah, I'd say the Masi. But the Langster might be lighter since it's aluminum but that also means a rougher ride since the aluminum is stiffer.

 

[Taylor Mefford]

One time, me and alex disagreed on something. It was a strange day.

 

[Steezeman]

When was that? It was scary.

 

[Taylor Mefford]

Idk, i tried to forget that day for weeks, i guess it worked. It brings me to tears to even think of that day.

 

[Steezeman]

It's funny how you can see less than half of a bike and know that it's incredibly awesome.

 

[DonaldM]

Wow what a beaut.

 

[wadekinkade]

Wade, get the masi, they are more classic and have more street cred, since everyone has langsters. Nothing wrong with langsters, though.

its $700 and idk much about fixed
is that a good price ?

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah that's a pretty good price, you can get cheaper but that's gonna be a really good bike, like you're not gonna have to replace parts on it for a while other than tubes and tires.

And look, bikes.

The Cannondale is sweet, I've always loved those, and the Concept has a chub hub and a pedobear sticker haha.
