Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

ha, I'm just bored at work and playing the devil's advocate.

I guess tyres are like saddles, all personal preference and experiment.

Like anything bike related really... ;-)

You two sound like old ladies.

Strong. Very strong.

[I][/I]

Rider not so strong!?

Thanks TM. Now I need to be on the look out for a bargain Zen.

No worries 25c* tires won't be a problem, but why on earth would you want "huge" tires like that on a Histogram, if you don't mind me asking? If you're looking for comfort, maybe you should be looking for an entirely different frameset. By the way, a friend of mine is using 28c tires on his Histogram for off road racing.

*Wants to beat friend with a stick.

Thanks for the replies about 25c's, i was just looking around on pedal room and seen a few with Rando's on the front, but they all seem to be 2011 models, if that makes a difference, i don't know...

As for wanting a 25c, just a bit of extra grip for confidence around corners, comfort and just rolls a tad nicer, maybe use a wider rim, then i could have matching 25c fold-able hardshells, i like the sound of all that.

if i spend that much on a frame i will fuss about 2mm of tyre if i like.

Speak of the devil.

^ I really like the shape of ergo bars...

I'm the opposite, hate them!

This is good, needs a couple of tweaks.

does he rode a pashley before?
someone should explain him how to set-up a bike that fits him well.

how can you tell from the picture?

These are nice looking Ergo bars.

used to have a compact version that i should of got but can't find them any more.

Well, someone has been browsing lots of Japanese Instagrams! ;-)

In other news the official Kashimax profile liked one of my pictures. No big.

It's a tough gig, but someone's got to keep the phresh coming!

^^ that tiny brensho with aerobars and what looks like a large piece of cheese for a back wheel is ridiculous.

Oh YEAH baby!

Anyone know what bars? -

Great page.
Although i think a Concor on an inline seat post always looks shit. Anyone else feel the same?

Inline is fine. Set back is awful with concor.

JB, I hope this page is giving you some inspiration for the Panasonic... I wish you had kept the carbon... /:

... and the RB010s.

Concor Supercorsa and other 'vintage' saddles very rarely look good on Alu frames. Much better to stick with the modern look.

I'm the opposite, hate them!

I think it's the slightly more compact drop. I hate drops which go half a mile down..
