rims don't cost that much, but getting them laced to your hubs will cost a bit. i'd look for 5 speed wheels sets on craigslist.

oh god i gotta buy the hub too? (5 gears in the back right?)

Jesus this sucks.

I got a question too... Anyone know how much 'country ride' tires go for? There not quite track bike tires, more like asphalt tires.

try get some panaracer t-serv tires. they are supposed to be 'messenger' tires. i have them on both my bikes. really good and are kevlar belted. i havn't got a flat riding them, yet.

jura,wheels fucking suck. biggest pain in the ass when you need to fix/replace them. i'd go to a bike shop and just ask how much it would be. if it's above say $80 for the rims and labor just try get some used wheels. 5 gears in the back is right.

^ Yay!

Thanks for the help bros, again, if anyone has old wheels, just shoot me a PM.

bikes are so fun to ride around. i almost get the same feeling from skating if i'm going fast enough. working on and building them is also just as fun.

the owner of the local bike shop lived around the corner from me so i've accumulated quite a few bikes and parts. unfortunately, i have no means of taking a picture. the SR Junky snapped these two:

i'll try and get all my bikes up soon.

holy shit. what was that, a fuji? how'd you like it?

Baby Gerber · « **Reply #160 on:** February 14, 2009, 08:42:27 PM »

they are pretty tight, usually in my city prefer to ride the types of bikes with the light on the front which is pretty tight, but if you don't have anything other than that your just going get the shitty look of " yup your hip, real cool ", but truly its better for me cause the train ride from one end to the other just kills me and sometimes its even hard to skate after lounging doing nothing for 40 minutes. Than riding down looking for stuff.

those handle bars on that bianchis look so sad. you could have gotten a little more creative, everybody and their mom has a pista.

BabyKillaSeason · « **Reply #163 on:** February 17, 2009, 10:12:10 AM »

yeah, i realize it is a very popular bike, but i needed a new bike fast (obviously) so i couldnt go through the efforts of building one up, and the bianchi's come with great components already. also got a great deal on it as they were trying to get rid of the 2008s. a few more paychecks and i'm hoping to make mine look a little more original.

HGDhero · « **Reply #164 on:** February 17, 2009, 11:21:53 AM »

fuck dude, that fuji is fucked up..you got hit by a car, damn?
Anyway yeah i have bianchi too, have had it for a few years, pretty beat up now but still rides great

crashing a bike into a car didn't inspire you to get brakes?

but a pista is a classic.. its like the accell. you can't go wrong.

i just picked this up the other day

BabyKillaSeason · « **Reply #167 on:** February 18, 2009, 04:06:41 PM »

first off, it wasn't a car, it was a bus.

and the accident did not occur because of anything concerning breaks. basically, i was riding parallel to a Coach America bus, at about the middle point, on the far right in the bike lane. The bus turned right (while i was still next to it), hitting me and making me fall over. then it ran over my legs and the bike.

i got new bars and grips for the pista. pictures soon.

Prison Wallet · « **Reply #170 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:51:21 PM »

Here's a shitty Photo Booth of the commuter I've ridden for the past 6 years. It's a vintage Bianchi Campione Del Mondo from the early 70s my brother built from the frame up. He got into riding competitively and got bored with it.

I'm not a huge bike dude but this works well for my commute. Plus I like the feel of old stuff and I dig all the detail in the lugs and the Bianchi embossments all over the place.

BabyKillaSeason · « **Reply #175 on:** February 19, 2009, 09:15:17 AM »

killing time, the easiest way to tell what kind of rim they are is if they are dented out they are weinmans, where as if they are flat along the whole deep v it is a velocity. it really doesn't matter, i was just curious

BabyKillaSeason · « **Reply #176 on:** February 19, 2009, 01:53:45 PM »

heres the new handlebars.

they aren't as short as they look in the photo, i don't like those super short ones where your hands are on the stem.

shitty photobooth pic of my bike, its a 12 speed nishiki frame not sure what else. me and a friend took it a part painted it and put it back together, the bike then exploded after a hour or didng it so we got spare parts and did it again, its been riding like a charm ever since.
