Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

nah

44rn is hpstr points too for its rareness.

like Andy Ellis'

44RN on Rotors

hmm yes... but the busy cranks/spider distract from the chainring...

polished Omniums would be boss.
or just matt black

Andy's Makino is my favourite bike ever...

Those Rotors looks mean, like they'd take your lunch money or something

Makino is rad indeed... Would love a man sized one.

Makino is MadRad. just gonna put this out there... Rotors, Not a fan. I prefer a spider on the most part.

same.
for me it would be team shimanos plus aarn I think, but as long as it works its fine

Well I didn't want to upset anyone with un-slavish talk, but yeah, they look very out of place on that Makino... Needs black 75s really, or I think it has had black 7600/7710 in the past.

I like Rotors on some bikes, think they would suit my Condor... But are they just the flava of autumn/winter 2012?

Totally agree.
Yeah think it had black DAs on it before

edit: Silver infact

Makino would look much better with silver 75's or DA's. Rotors only look good on newer frames imo

There's also something really stupid about the combination of those cranks and toe straps/flat pedals

yep

to me rotors make sense only on the track, I suppose visually they fall into the same category as powermeters.

Paying money for something that makes the gears in your legs redundant and will more than likely need more attention than a puppy... pff Fixed for life.

Just noticed this- eh, what are you on about?

This

You know I doubt Andy builds his bikes according to what makes sense to randoms online that he hasn't met and probably won't.

What? Are you all on crack or something?

Or just fondling each other as per.

It's amazing how quickly the hip hop brotherhood gets its knickers in a twist when one perfectly innocent comment is misconstrued. You're a touchy bunch.

I'm not telling anyone what to do with their money- just didn't understand the 'gears in my legs' thing, I'm not aware that riding gears makes anyone's legs weaker.

Anyway, carry on.

^rep and agree
