Hey Brother

Too late. The notorious crankset is already paid for and being delivered.

Same with bullhorns, plus I bought a tt brake lever.

This is my first full build. Stop trying to make me second guess my decisions :P

So I understand other people's aesthetic opinions, which frame geometry matches bullhorns?

pd: I appreciate the opinions and interest. Considering them for the future.

BLB rebrand fairly generic components with their logo and then up the price, nothing wrong with them as bmx_fred said, just way over priced for what you get, as you can see from TMs post.

the nature of this forum is that people give you their opinions whether you like it or not! buy what you want, build it how you want, but expect people to tell you what they think :)

I like that :) I hear people out and then do what I feel like.

haha! you got it man :)

ftfy

thank god someone does, or it'd get boring round here fairly quickly

@plexarice why are you so worried about my financials?

I guess I'm just curious why you would buy something both functionally and aesthetically worse for the same money?

Functionally, sure. Aesthetically... if you prefer minimalism the Omnium logo is a bit too much on-your-face. You forgot about time (spent ordering and of arrival), plus the delivery charges, so not the same money.

We lived in London and like bikes without gears, things being overpriced and not the most functional isn't our biggest worry.

If you were truly living this, you would have bought these...

I went by CyclePS a few hours ago since my parts had arrived, and saw the Notorious crankset on the flesh. It is sick! Excited for the build.

In honor of the glorious BLB Notorious Crankset I am going to add Notorious B.I.G. quotes everytime I post in this thread.

"We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirsty"

@luisbg, you're fast becoming my favourite person!

TM just posted those cranks I was telling you about... the big boy shit!

Like I said... every man and his dog is gonna comment on your build... but that's what a CP thread is for!!!

"You should invest in protection, next time you're in my section
I will wreck him, disrespect him, forever talking out his rectum"

Some serious big boy shit!

I enjoy the banter :)

Not ready for something like that. Not even close. Good thing though, I can enjoy the mid-range with total ignorance bliss. For now.

Hyped for building the Notorious and rest of awesome parts.

"motherfuckers was all friendly
Lounging at the barbecues, drinking brews
With the neighborhood crews, hanging on the avenues"

@luisbg Fuck yeah! The Notorious banter just got B.I.G :D

"Cause G-E-D, wasn't B-I-G
I got P-A-I-D, that's why my mom's hate me"

Notorious crankset installed. Loving it.

"From the Beretta, putting all the holes in ya sweater
The money-getter, motherfuckas don't know better"

@Velocio bring back #REP

haha excellent

I'm gonna jump in here as I was thinking about getting a notorious as well, it's my first build the same as you @luisbg, would be good to know the ratio you're thinking of running. I still haven't decided on the crank yet, was thinking Miche, or the notorious as it looks nails

Did I see this in Battersea Park just now? I like the combination of the green bar tape with black frame and tan wall tyres, very nice!

@BTR88 - You may well have seen @luisbg in Battersea Park 'cause thats's his ends.

The green tape is on a set of loaner Nitto bars from @MrsP...

@Johnnyw - Come pay us a visit or drop us a line at Cycle PS Battersea if you're after some cranks. We'd be glad to help you out.

"Went from ten G’s for blow to thirty G’s a show
To orgies with hoes I never seen before"

that's great , yeah I will do,
I walk past really often to get to clapham junction

@BTR88, that was me, yeah. Next time say Hello. Or just shout 'Luis', 'Brother' or 'Notorious!'

The color is growing in me, but the bars are temporary measure (via @privatepatterson) until my bars arrive. I'm planning white tape but might reconsider.

"*If I wasn't in the rap game
I'd probably have a key knee-deep in the crank game
Because the streets is a short stop
Either you're slinging cranksets or you got a wicked jump shot*"

Looking good bro.

No... next time, DAS him...
