  • wheels you just made the catholic school boy in me cry.

  • I don't think that suspension setup would work either, not enough rake on the forks, hitting a gutter would force the forks back towards the frame putting the spring under tension. Then again its so ugly and heavy i don't think anyone would ever be seen riding it.

    That S bike hurt my eyes and my brain, I feel dumber just for looking at it.

  • So... delete as spam? Or leave because of amusing replies?

    i say leave it...although the company is getting exposure its also getting the piss taken out of it...
    i think its equal :)

  • hi, a fixed cruiser is my current bike. I took a cheap schwinn beach cruiser frame and refitted everything else with fixie stuff - rims, hubs, cranks, fork, bars

    see here

    I'm glad because it looks different to everyone else's bike, and I really like the way that the white velocities mimic the look of beach cruiser white wall tyres.

    a few things just don't work, like the chainline is about 2mm off, and because i had to use a bottom bracket adapter, the cranks have a tiny tiny bit of wobbling very very very slightly sometimes depending on the temperature!!! but that's the fun of having a bike like this, I am trying to iron out these things (slowly)

    she handles fine though despite the weird geometry.

    next step I am going to build spinning rims for it. I ride mostly around E2 E8 E9, so hope to maybe see some of you around.

  • i think i spoke to you when you road past the royal in on the park on wednesday

  • yeah me! I was on a date that night, and didn't know about the pub meet. So when suddenly I saw all the fixed kit chained to the pub, I didn't want to go in and expose my entirely geeky side by talking about bikes and completely ignoring her...! We saw you guys doing some time trials later, and she was like - "are they racing round timing themselves on bikes? that's what I used to do when I was 12!" and I was like, yeah, it's retro...

    I will try come next wednesday if it's on.

  • I can't believe you guys would be so negative about those 3G bikes when we FGSSers live in a world of absolutely ridiculous bollocks like a man riding a bike with a pink color coded chain....

    I've ridden a few 3g bikes and they roll nicely, the build quality is good for the price. I mean hell, the weight of the steel alone is worth half the price....¬~!

  • whoop!
    pink colour coordinated chain! I am going to take the word hipster to a whole new level.

    Also it is because he (a guy who works for 3g) came on the forum to advertise. Not good.

  • someone say pink chain?

    linky?

  • i sent hubjub an email earlier. Otherwise their on the american ebay + at coloured (maybe spelled colored) tuffs

  • hey dead insect, have you been to polo? there was a guy with the most ridiculously hip-hop slave cruiser bike i've ever seen. like carbon forks, hilarious carbon rim, chris king headset etc..
