    Was that Dammit?

  • Beaten to it twice

  • .

  • hate the huge gap between seattube and rear wheel!

  • Pretty sure there’s a thread with me saying that somewhere!

  • I knew a kid with a Fort that had a small headtube like that, shit snapped off and homie ate the street pretty good. Those frames are sketch, but also that kid was sketch so who knows

  • it is just nice to be able to stop quickly without too much skiddidng

  • skid review on that conti supersport? i.e. how long is the rubber lasting and how grippy/fast is it once the outer layer's gone

  • A fixed gear bike will never lie to you

  • I run a Mash at 53/15

  • Hahah!

  • All alone, with nothing but a fixie and a Bripe

  • I feel like I should own a fixie now

    Perhaps @youramericanlover can recommend one?

  • just remove pinion and you have a fixie

  • own a fixie

    It's more a state of mind tbh.

  • Poncey? These are race bikes

  • I've had omniums, and I currently run those same rotor cranks, and I can tell you the rotor are a LOT more flexible. I am going to replace the rotor arms with the new carbon arms since those are supposed to be better.

    also

    Climbing hills on the rotor ALDHU alloy arms has so much flex you can feel your foot is at an angle, you're forced to climb out of the saddle so that you can tilt the bike and level out your feet.

  • ^ wut?! :-)

  • Forced to climb out of the saddle

    That's just how climbing on a fixed gear works isn't it?!

  • Still not sure if that person was really being dead serious.
    But then there's 130 pages of this thread... :D

  • was always a nice one to indicate, throw a cheeky skid, then lay it in smoothly, hit the apex and cruise out

  • hitting a man when he's down!

  • Yeah that was a low blow

  • Selling my Cinelli Vigorelli Caleido simply due to an upgrade - got a mash!
    facts: never fallen off, never crashed, won 12 fixed crits on it.
