Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

in finnish but those in the know probably can read this anyway

actual weights or claimed weights?

those are measured actual weights.

my seta is 1.5kg with a seatpost in it :(

thx, it's hard to believe this bike is 18 years old now. It is so stiff and handles so lively. I ride it regularly, although have gotten rid of the Spinergy's (they caught the wind too much). Rode 120km today on it. I love it!

Ha, stemmi.

Negaatio, loving that Makino. Are those Paselas on there?

And is it just me, or are your saddle rails bent?

What's been the cause of the knee pain? I used to get very bad knee pain, and tried out specialized in-soles with wedges that either turn knee in or out, to give you a much straighter pedal stroke, and not had any pain since. Just a thought.

yeh 25mm paselas. The main reason for my knee pain is strained itb thingie on the outer side of my thigh/leg. Feels a lot better now that the weather is warmer. Rode hours today without pain. Hmm gotta check those rails, duno.

Can we get more Makino pics??

46x20 for the knee pains. Feels stupidly low at the moment.

Pabst Blue Ribbon in the background.. the HHSB beverage.

Stem on that colnago? Or just a pearl that's been polished?

tried blue ribbon for the first time recently, horrible tasting beer.

My friend came back from Japan yesterday and brought me some prezzies...

AMEN JESUS CHRIST

55x18, does it skid?

Sure does, any ratio that is between 3.00 and 3.10 is absolutely lovely, 55x18, 52x17, 49x16 are the real deal

Perfect for track training!

Yeah, I spent this afternoon razzing about and it's a fine ratio. Works out at ~80GI, absolutely fine for pancake London...

Traffic lights though.

on 53x17....just need to plan ahead....all good
