Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

someone buy the Pelizzoli on ebay!

It looked perfectly, seller probably didn't know what he had in hands.

Have you got a link so I can cry over a picture of it. Hopefully it won't be in my size.

Hehe, only this small one (seller has removed the add):

Size 58, was my size, not yours I believe.

Oh my lord. I'd have left the door the instant I saw that and travelled to seller of said bike

readers exwife.

Can you imagine how I feel, he told me I could have it, but he also told that to some other guy who responded a bit earlier than I did..

Suggestions? I want a plain coloured frame (only criteria haha)

fuuuuuck

only cdale ive ever liked. forks match the frame.
skinny steel track forks just look wrong on these frames.
rims look quite correct on this set up.
i would consider doing a bank job for this bike.
...... seatpost/stem/bars would be dealt with though, of course.
and a big solid blk ring too.

Is a Ridley

^wrong, it's a Caad5 track, so not an early C'dale track and not a Ridley

Is a Ridley

rear dropouts/fork ends are suspicious though. unless they used normal ones for that year or summink ?

It was a modern cannondale track that's been resprayed.

Ah thought was forum build. Fork looks different to dale caad 5 tho.

It was a forum build but then the owner discovered a crack in the frame, bought a ridley oval and got it painted to match the old cannondale.

That all city is nice....

I'm going round in circles here.

damn.

Slightly off topic but the right thread at least, I'm surprised no one here has yet bought the reduced but still pricey, blue Tonic Supernaut that Kinoko have?

Lovely frame, but still quite pricey indeed.

Almost just made a horribly stupid comment enquiring as to why the forks fit so poorly..

if you have to ask, you'll never know.

Wrong. Clearly the frame is in the right place but the rest is shit.

Anyone know how much wage for the Engine Sprinter?

What do you guys consider a good HHSB chain? I'm thinking of buying the KMC K710SL color black.

Currently using this:

extremely heavy, greasy, noisy. Using it with a normal closing

I found my DID chains to be of reasonable weight with not much noise and a smooth feeling drive train. Are you sure your chainring/cog isn't worn out or something?
