Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

alternative? answers other than 'anything else' would be constructive (",)

tell that to Spotter, I think his Leader is fucking brilliant.

No offense to Spotter, but all Leader frames are grim (Spotter has plenty of other bikes that are lovely so I'm sure he won't cry over me saying that). It's like they let a teenage boy draw an "awesome bike" and then stretch it out so the clearances are like a cross bike. They're like half a step up from a Visp - heavy, handle like shit, horrid welds and made for children.

The 722 is a shit attempt to make a 'classic looking' fixed frame, with nasty slack geom and horrible shaped tubes. I'd rather buy an IRO/Dolan PC or something for similar money (or just buy a nice frame second hand).. but then I don't own a HHSB, I just come here for fun.

I'm gonna neg flamed/negged for this, but hey... fuck it. It's only the internet.

There's a forum jersey?!!

yeah. It's grim

Whatever it is, the red one is way better looking than the Pista Al which looks very low-end - I can't believe that's the best alu track frame Pinarello do... it looks like my old Angliru! My theory is that it is a pinerello, just a better one than that blue thing

Yeah, I'm thinking it might be a respray of a superior model maybe - this one has neater welds, certainly. The other red one that comes up when you google Pinarello Pista AL is clearly the same model as the blue one, with the rougher looking welds, plus it has white decals.

it's all grim...

...but all Leader frames are grim...

yeah. It's grim

having a blast tonight i see? =))

Fair cop guv

No offense to Spotter, but...

Wtf?!

It take serious talent to make a bike look that bad, especially a frame and fork like the Brooklyn Gangsta!!

put some black risers, get the saddle down and will be a killer

simples

Cut the forks down, slam that stem and
change that saddle

Get new stem thats appropriate length!

Incinerate the whole thing and keep whatevers left at the end.

600 quid^^^^

good price, get rid of bits and have frame for a 100
