  • Still, you could have loads of Corima wheels. Search the forum :-)

  • +1 goodhead, the MBK's a nice ride.

    I used to want to be a DayGlo Crazy after reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

  • I one post some one said " swaton seems to have more money than taste, how maney aero spokes does he need". Its goene from dissing the bike to dissing me. I mean what I choose to "waste" my money is surly not any body's concern. Especially people who have never spoken to me or know me.

    We are suppose to be having fun riding not acting like bullies in the school play group picking on anyone who different. What with all this bike snobery???

    fair enough, but really, don't take it to heart man, as you say, we all share a common interest in bikes.

  • I haven't been here for too long, but has the number of instances in which a forum member has felt offended gone up, this year?

    And like eei said: if it is in this thread, no, it most likely will not be praised. And if it is online, it is fair game. If we were to tread lightly around every possible picture or thing, well, it would not be the same place, now would it?

    Forum is bigger, so bigger population from which flounces can happen.

    At current flouncer - I like the MBK too, not worth leaving the forum for the sake of comments on that or number wheels owned.

    P.s. This thread just keeps bringing the entertainment - better than telly.

    Yeah - and that extra spok will always be handy to frisbee at some non-believer / square.

  • At current flouncer - I like the MBK too, not worth leaving the forum for the sake of comments on that or number wheels owned.

    99% members own retarded bikes (or at least one of their bikes is retarded).

    Knowing what is bike porn and building porn bike don't always go hand in hand anyway.

    I have one nice bike, but use hipster cyst light on it. Can't do track stand. Forget to unclip on lights. Get lost in Central London. Fit track bars, but never use drops. Nobody's perfect.

  • The mbk was probably the first fluoro hhsb I saw. I always thought it was quit neat.

    The changing values in fashion can leave things looking dated though because it was such an early build of this type (in my relative novice eyes) I think it has aged well.

    The owner has a unique style but I always thought he pulls it off with aplomb. Each to their own, especially when they do something idiosyncratic and do it well.

  • What with all this bike snobery???

    Put this thread on ignore if you don't like bike snobbery - it's >200 pages of strangers slagging off bikes which the bikes' owners presumably like. If one of your bikes ends up on here, either learn from other people's judgement or have confidence in your own taste.

  • The message you sent me privately was cool. Then you go and publically post this. how many faces do you have. I think after this message I'm going to delete my account. It seems like some people live on this forum and have nothing better to do than spite venom at people they don't know or have even met. Its like some wird lynch mob. You made you guys judge and jury on what constitute a nice bike? Get over yourselves. Half of you only got into this whole fixed gear thing now that its somewhat fashionable. I've been around for a bit. That neon bike was given to me Benedict Radcliffe. One off the first he made, Then I got Andy Ellis from FGL to change the handle bars for me.

    "Take this post as you will". Why! Dude I'm nice guy. But don't say stuff like that unless you mean it. If you wanna criticise please do it in person Then I can give it the response it deserves.

    What's wrong with what ChainBreaker said? He was being nice.... I think you've got the wrong end of the stick.

    This is a surprise to come home too... Dude, you miss read my post. My private message was to back up my public one so you knew i was being serious, not the other way round. I respect your choice in bikes and all. If i see you on the streets, i will honestly say hi, im ChainBreaker, my names Iain.

    What's wrong with what ChainBreaker said? He was being nice.... I think you've got the wrong end of the stick.

    Thanks man:-) What NH said. i dont think you should flounce.

  • Still a fucking horrible bike though.

    But what do I know? My everyday commuter is a Cannondale Badboy with millions of gears stuck all over it.

  • omg, it's so easy! your bike in this thread - you get slagging, your bike in current projects thread - you get approval no matter how bad it really is in "porn" terms
    it worked so many times. if it's like really really bad, it still ends up here, but hey, why should grown and confident adult give a crap about what any person on this forum says or thinks? all you can do is learn. my 2p, sorry

    Haha! Changing bars CAN be pretty tough. Best leave it to the professionals.

    That is a very good observation! Never thought of it like that but its true :-)
