Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

I actually like the quality of the pistards. After removing the stickers they are great. Light enough for the price and they last. They will take some abuse, unlike campy record and anything gipiemme makes.

Late to the party.

Gipiemme did make a pretty indestructible disc wheel and when I say indestructible I mean one of the most robust, forgiving and solid disc wheels. It was heavy though because it's mostly made of wood

http://www.gipiemme.biz/#!product/prd1/1340621451/wd1-wood-disc-wheels-tubular-(only-rear) would you?

'wood you?'

I had a Gipiemme wheel set once. The rear (almost new) hub split while doing a sprint on a perfectly smooth piece of asphalt. I'm not the strongest rider. I know several people who bought Gipiemme wheel sets and they all had serious issues with the weak hubs. Both my front and rear hubs were pretty much paperweights after about 400KM. No curb jumping, mad skidding or any other weird stuff they aren't made for but using it as a road bike.

p.s. that Rodagira is awesome.

Pretty sure that goes on the road...

PC bro

Superb.

That Orlowski is rowdy

is that photo current or is it still sitting in cycle ps?

I had a Gipiemme wheelset and they sucked balls, just one winter and the bearings were shot. My Miche Pistard hubs are holding up just fine after 4 years of year round commuting.

That's Helens one, I bought the one that was sitting in cycle ps

Yeah gipiemme aren't all that great. Pistards aren't that much better. DA 7600 on wolber would be better in every way, thank god I built a set and have them sitting around aswell as the orlowski but I won't use them on orlowski
