Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

The 'Criterium' version I believe. Comes with a cheaper chainring.

thanks
is there any difference with weight or performance?
are they manufactured differently ?
they seem exactly the same
but i cant understand why the price dramatically differs between them aha

Chainring that comes with the 'criterium' is a Zen Messenger, not a 'proper' Zen. It is solid and not machined on the rear face for weight saving so is cheaper and heavier.
On the crank, only the outer faces of the crank arms have been polished before anodising, whereas the entire crank is polished on the regular SG75. It's been bead blasted or chemically etched to give it that matte texture, which is cheaper/quicker than polishing entirely.

ah i see! thats all the information i need! thank you man

so theyre basically heavy duty street cranks, dayum

BLB are selling their colourful stuff cheap because people only want black or silver these days.

Just squint and imagine that the saddle is 6-8 inches higher

...and few degrees higher... and bike stand on nds and chain slack removed

;-))

and the derailler hangers and the valve hole covered and they aligned the tyre logos up properly.

Basically, put it in the bin and do it again.

Now remove the derailleur hangers, bottle cage bosses and front brake bosses.

Meh, not sure this Vig has hiphop status. It has two brakes and spacers under the stem for a start...

and i dont like the flat pedals n saddle or that colourful decal on the down tube :(

...and the gatorksins...and the foot of extra rear brake cable outer at the front end, is that for drying out his washing on the way to work?
