I would squish a bike like that.


Man I need to get out and exercise more Time to buy a mountian bike.

 

If you guys are interested, The MASH premiere is on the 9th at the Victoria in SF.
One of my best friends has a scene along with a bunch of other riders.
I'm pretty sure Jovante has one in there too doing some looooooooooooooong wheelies.

I really don't see the big deal behind riding fixed. I would like to ride SS at some point, but would stick with freewheel.

 

i was thinking of building a fixie this summer. I wanted to get a bianchi frame and paint it wrb and throw on some subie decals =D

maybe some gold powdercoated wheels too..

 

yeah, Jovante's really into it now. Here's a vid, that's done by my friend Mark of Fatlace. http://youtube.com/watch?v=H63FivObTLM

 

yherrothere fatlace opening.

 

fixed gear bikes, they can be fun. I 'm not a big fan cuz I like to coast.

 

what Benson? Fatlace actually opens next month, on the 7th

 

well...at least I had an interesting ride down to Japantown today...har har har

 

haha, yo Ben, you going to the viewing for MashSF? I think I'm going to the 2nd showing. I think we are going to ride afterwards or something

 

Is the second showing also on the 9th because if it is, then I'm a no show.

 

So whats the advantage of taking off the gears and brakes? doesnt that make them alot more difficult/dangerous to ride??

 

I'm glad somebody asked this question

 

You still have the back brake. Taking out the gears, means you can get a better work out on the bike. Is it difficult to ride? Hmm, it's somewhat weird at the beginning, but once you adapt to it, it's just like riding any other bike.

 

I'm just picturing coming to steep hill and not being able to drop it down a cog....sounds like one hell of a workout.
