Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Can you please spend less time posting here and more time building that Giant up, I'm keen to see it.

You going blackout with the parts?

go for this for ultimate HHSB points

fixed

Nah, I'm actually going for silver and white mainly.
Battered set of Dura Ace 7600 njs cranks off ebud, white Fizik Arione saddle, and a older deep v silver Campagnolo Vento front wheel which I'm picking up tomorrow, thinking of a Mavic CXP33 rimmed rear wheel if I can afford it or a Varno built DP18 if I can't, undecided on stem and bars as of yet.
Just seemed that black and HHSB had been done to death, and was just a bit too obvious for my take on that frame.
And kinda liked the idea of a modern looking frame with slightly more classic silver racing parts.
Opinions?

Hmmm,
hack saw, check.
sand paper, check.
sanding block, check.
wire cutter (can be made easily), check.
wood, check.
screws, check.
screwdriver, check.
tape measure, check.
spirit level, check.
string, check.
polystyrene (local industrial estate), check.
nuts, bolts and threaded rod, check.
carbon weave and epoxy (several websites already bookmarked), check.
lots of spare time on hands, check.

And most importantly; Mad Scientist Laugh, Check! :D

Cost of said tools and equipment = Approx £200
Laughing said mad scientist laugh in everyones disbelieving faces = Priceless! ;P *

• this is all in theory of course and no blame can be brought upon establishment and mad scientist for everyones disbelief.
  
  
  
  

Opinions?

The ramblings of a madman.

^ Oh, quite likely!! But at least I can laugh like a proper madman. :D

Blah blah blah, no one cares.

no, its a expensive frameset with the crankset you get on an OTP Langster.

Low pro... dropbars... spacers...

He should not have purchased a low pro.

Frame is not expensive, it's at a mid level price.
