Apparently these things were really fast, but unsafe.

to those of you who are riding on cranks with shorter arms, do you feel that you get more output out of shorter arms compared to average length

There is a town in tasmania where they still make those, people come from around the world for a big race every year.

My teacher seems to think these bikes are superior... I think he's just an academic who is obsessed with being eccentric. Can you imagine getting doored on one of those bikes?

Not to sound like a gossiper, but just heard this and so fucked up. Supposdly that dude EMI(in MASH, always riding around Mission) shot some dude. I guess he was banging this dudes GF, homeboy walked in, obvisouly fight broke out, EMI pulled a piece, struggle, homeboy got his gun, pistol whipped him, emi got his gun back and ended up shooting this dude in the balls. Dont really know much more than that, cant really believe it.. Regardless thats so messed up.

i dont know about that, but i do know i'm not as afraid to take tight corners when i need to. i would get shorter arms if you are planning on riding around the city.

My cranks/arms/whatever are really long, but I ride geared so I just coast through curves and JR Blastoff down straightaways.

After riding ungripped steel bullhorns for a year, my buddy put some nice black cloth griptape on them today, and it feels SO much better. Like a legit road bike, haha. I'm itching to go on long rides outside of the city, I just need some spare tubes and a chainbreaker/extra links.

any mention of JR wins.

Hey diabolik!, If those straps you have on there are the Soma/Dimension doubles, you might wanna rethink riding brakeless in SF. Just a warning, those things are like rubber bands.

BabyKillaSeason · « **Reply #255 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:29:19 AM »

i have soma double cages and soma double straps and i don't have any complaints.

spinners

no, but leave the drops. don't get bullhorns or risers. if you want to make it a fixie or single speed get some wheels that have formula hubs with a flip flop. those are usually pretty cheap.

kevbo999 · « **Reply #260 on:** April 28, 2009, 07:32:13 PM »

I thought those were bullhorns, my bad, I guess I have drop bars then..

I say you leave it as is, not a thing wrong with it.

yeah, bianchi pistas are flip flopable. the new pista straight bar comes with breaks and a flip flop already on it. a regular pista doesnt come with a brake or a flip flop, but you could get a single speed cog on the other side of your back tire and put on a front break.

It's against the law to have a coasting bike without a rear brake, but fuck it right? Not like cops are gonna notice or pull you over for some stupid trivial shit like that.
