Skid stops

spoolandslide · 06-12-2009, 10:14 PM

haha 'trendy'

-pants so tight their legs shrink in width but grow in height
-wearing blue knit beanies on the back of their heads
-flannels
-vans
-different colored fixies parked outside san fran state in rainbow order (roygbiv)
-Virginia slim cigarettes
-sex in public places
-no socks ever
-watches on both wrists
-growing out that pathetic excuse for facial hair

are we speaking of the same people who now all ride fixies because of the many different possible color combinations?

*although there is an element of danger in the situation that makes you stop wondering if they have balls in those denim tights and start wondering if they are bigger than yours because both you and i know that there is no way in hell that either of us is about to go cruise down to fisherman's wharf with no brakes, although with stupidity often comes dangerous situations so its really a toss up

final decision to be judged by a flip of my u.s. quarter from 1984
brave and cool / dumb and trendy

Bikesdirect.com is a dope spot for cheap bikes. They are a distributor of bikes to a lot of shops. I ordered a Windsor (Kilos were sold out) and it came pretty much assembled and in less than a week. Just over 300 bucks w/ shipping, can't beat that. Really good communication too

wow thats all i wanted to hear lol, the only reason i really want a bike is just for the extra exercise i'll get from it

if you're really looking for something good, don't get the SE draft. its heavy, has cheap components, wheels are free/free, and random other junk that you dont need to start out with

spend a bit more on the Windsor hour @ Bikes & Bicycles - Mountain, Road, CycloCross, Hybrid and Comfort bikes from bikesdirect.com for 299 shipped. its an actual track frame with semi good parts already on it.

its way worth it.

or if your looking for any parts, message me. i've got all the little things you'll need to build a bike except bottom brackets

DUFFM4N · 06-13-2009, 01:06 PM

^same review pretty much that i read from other peopls experiences...but its not TOO heavy for me, but just personally id rather have a stronger (and if that means heavier) frame, just because im not a small guy

but for the OP, just like mentioned a few times...Kilo TT or Windsor are both great platforms to start with, i went a different route just because of the price/heavier/stronger frame for me and being a fan of SE bikes

shishcabobers · 06-13-2009, 01:08 PM

Real men ride track bikes. jk I prefer track bikes over converted, if ever.

supportTHEezln · 06-13-2009, 01:50 PM

Here is my bike:

I think like many people, I prefer to pick each part, rather than buy complete.
It's definitely more expensive, but meh.

lflkajfj12123 · 06-13-2009, 02:14 PM

hipsters all of you

Matej · 06-13-2009, 02:48 PM

How do you do barspins with that front brake?

lflkajfj12123 · 06-13-2009, 02:53 PM

very carefully.

IIIXziuR · 06-13-2009, 02:55 PM

Too Many Skinny Jeans

Matej · 06-13-2009, 02:57 PM

My jagged pedals cut through my Toms shoes.

lflkajfj12123 · 06-13-2009, 03:35 PM

my boat shoes are all fucked from locking the pedals

4DOOR_LIFE · 06-13-2009, 03:45 PM

i could understand rolling up your pant leg if you wear really loose pants. but when i see guys with rolled up skinnys or slim straights, i just find it lame. i know so many people who use to be in to cars and now do fixies. or still have their car, but rather be mega trendy and waste money on their fixie.

if you guys wanna see the biggest group of trendy kids, go to a honda-tech meet. hypebeast,hipsters, hyphy kids, fan boys, etc. nothing but bright colored outfits with big letters and fixies to match. why do people choose to stay with the pack and not try to be ahead?

well time to go back to work....i'll probably see a bunch of trendy kids too.hahahaha. ( Urban Outfitters)

Thanks for the heads up im really gonna think abut what bike to get i know the SE is 200 at that spot duff was talkin about but he upgraded some things right?? and if the windsor has better parts for 299. it might come up about the same price when i upgrade some things on the SE

I completely agree with you, I never understood what's the hype all about. I will just get a honda ruckus and shit on them.

DrftSLowHomIe!! · 06-13-2009, 06:35 PM

^^ look i was just lookin for a way to save some money and get some good exersice that's it and this bike are really easy to ride long distance

BustedS13 · 06-13-2009, 08:05 PM

Do not get the SE draft if you're looking for a fixed. They come single speed only so you're gonna end up having to spend another $150-200 buying a new wheelset. I'd get the Kilo TT for $350 at bikesdirect., better quality frame/parts.

You know whats even easier to ride long distances? A regular road bike with a comfy seat, 21 or more gears in case you hit a hill, and brakes!

You say you need a bike thats comfy to ride long distances... You don't need a stupid trendy fuck fixie for that. Well, unless you wanna fit in with the rest of the hipsters and trendy kids, in which case... BAAAAAAA-AH-AH-AH-AH, go for it.

**And yes, Eddie, I have ridden fixies. I didn't care for them one bit. <3 **

BustedS13 · 06-13-2009, 11:11 PM

you know what's great when riding long distances?

coasting
