Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

They were spectacular bikes - way ahead of their time - iirc they were first out around 1987

Laser copy?

The front end is nearly identical - Lasers would have been considered pretty futuristic at the time the kestrel came out, but the laser was steel and the kestrel's full crabon.

oh maddy

the first look again in this thread after one week and what can i say, maddy still don't get it. why oh why??? put the thread back on my ignorance list.

Don't even care that the GT is probably a track bike, looks rad as fuck

bars need taping?

If you were aiming for porn, I'm sorry to disappoint.

BB looks low, how's pedal strike?

That is definitely rad...

Just spent load more money I don't have on seat post and rear wheel components. Why do I get this nagging feeling I'm not gonna have much beer money this month?

Have also spent last 3 hrs finishing off polishing my front wheel to mirrored goodness. The fumes and my bad back now require me to go lay down in a dark corner after necking some tramidol and cry myself to sleep!

Crank needs tyranno crabon.

He's working on it...

my previous bike made it into antiporn:

Did I post it? I barely remeber switching off the alarm this afternoon...

no it was some douche called malaysian ;-)

Really? I heard that guy is a srs c*nt....

Is it possible he posted it because it was too far away to actually tell?

Whittle seeing as you seem so persistent on LHD why don't you use a MTB hub with bolt on style cog?

I'd trust it a hell of a lot more having had lock rings unscrew on me in the past

gonna say yes, cos it's a Gara.

but could be built up better.

black spacers + cranks, nicer stem, lose tt protector and maybe too big for rider?

Yeah, what's with the whole LHD thing man?

Unless you live in a medieval castle and need to take a clockwise spiral staircase to your workshop.

Why is that the first justification that comes in to my mind?

I may be getting into a Left-hand rule type confusion, but does a LHD mean that skids tighten sprocket onto hub? So if it's only acceleration that is the issue.
If I could accelerate at equal rate to my skids I'd be pretty happy, so I'm guessing that the more gradual application of force via acceleration is much less of a strain on the lockring, which is presumably why he gets away with it.
