nice bike c_c

least amount of moving parts. the choice seemed obvious

it was expensive to build a bike in norway but i did a pretty good job of it anyway. i am not sure how i'm going to get this back to canada. its way better than the bike i have at home

local fixed-gear bike contest (these are the 'trendy' folks):

YouTube - Fixed-gear bike contest

Jakeisuseless · 11-05-2008, 12:59 AM

I didn't realize how good I was until I just watched that video. That's not much of a contest, imo. I didn't see anybody with skills that couldn't be developed in six months with some good workouts and a lot of scraped knees, anyway.

Captain Cannabis · 11-05-2008, 02:19 AM

yeah seriously those people are mad weak

my new pedals kick serious ass

Prophet Saddam · 11-05-2008, 10:03 AM

ssd, now can you understand my disdain for fixies (coming from this area)? i said 'trendy' and i meant it.

more cool videos (not from my area):

ride on!

Neildo · 11-05-2008, 10:08 AM

Damn those videos are sick. Tons of trendy fixie riders up in Vancouver too. I can't hate on em because i can appreciate the skill.

I have a free agent 24" that i ride regularly and a early 90's Rocky Mountain hammer that needs a lot of work. I was thinking of converting it to a single gear with a flywheel and keeping the v-brakes. then i could put a stronger bmx 3-piece crank.

your disdain is misplaced. you don't hate fixed gear bicycles you hate stupid trendy douchebags. the ones in your area just happen to ride fixed gear bicycles

Prophet Saddam · 11-05-2008, 02:06 PM

more appropriately, i have a disdain for the fixie riders in my area. that animosity carried over to ssd when i imagined him on a fixie (riding with the trendy folks in town)

i've learned.

i still wanna see one of you's riding backwards or popping a wheelie

Captain Cannabis · 11-05-2008, 02:30 PM

if i could ride my mountain bike backwards that would be awesome. i can do a video of my spinning the pedals backwards while i remain stationary

Captain Cannabis · 11-05-2008, 02:36 PM

YouTube - Unbeleivable trials riding

Captain Cannabis · 11-05-2008, 02:40 PM

not to get off topic i also found this video while searching for the one above

YouTube - urban and freestyle trial in Lyon

some of that shit is crazy

Prophet Saddam · 11-06-2008, 12:52 AM

i was going to berate you for getting off the subject of fixed-gear, but that's like bond shit right there. talk about the perfect way to escape any place at anytime.

i think i might get one

Prophet Saddam · 11-18-2008, 01:55 PM

just got some new lights

YouTube - monkeylectric spoke lights (1 of 2)

**Pharm Girl** · 11-18-2008, 02:22 PM

Suicide shift anyone??

Now that's a challenge.

Captain Cannabis · 11-18-2008, 02:52 PM
