Think it's time for me to post an update over the original one in the first page, had it not been chrome it would appear a lots worse;

the only thing that is standard is simply the crankset and BB, but everything else has been completely change (a found campagnolo seatpost in the back of BLB for cheap, old Nitto drop with bargain nitto stem, concor saddle, an NJS thick leather strap on sales from Condor, 105 headset, both tyres' gatorskin, front is an H+son laced to cheap System EX hubs, rear is a Velocity Fusion laced to System EX as well).

fork from an old road bike, the ride is slightly less zippy, but a tad more comfortable.

You've got a nice looking bike there, Ed!

I hope Liverpool lose. Nothing against them, but I'm really looking forward to Benitez's post-game rant!

I have a (serious) question:

What is the 'point' of a lo-pro frame? Or, I guess, what makes it different, better, etc than just having a normal frame with a larger variance between the height of the seat and the handlebars?

So i went over to a friends house to watch some television (as i don't own one) and met up with this girl we knew (you may remember her from my last snowy ride). a few days ago i did some work to her bike for her while we ate ice cream.

we started to lay about watching television and talking about shitty bands and iceland and where we should go for our big spring ride and such. then we started watching a movie and the girl and i started to kind of curl up nice and close and she fell asleep with her head on my shoulder all cute and what ever. the movie was over and i got up and bothered my friend took a piss, got dressed to brave the 17° weather back to my apartment about mile down the road. then i realised our friend was getting up and i asked if she was waling home or staying. she said she was walking, so i said hey i'll walk my bike with you. she said no, shes going to run.

i took my bike out to the porch and took my time, then started to ride up the road. then not a block down i passed her and stopped and walked with her. i gave her my gloves and offered my scarf. because i'm sweet. she declined the scarf and we walked and talked and made lewd jokes. as we got to her apartment she bruhed my arm and said thanks for walking and gave me a hug. i figured fuck maybe this was my chance so i shifted my weight to move so i could perhaps attempt to kiss her and my cleat slipped on the ice and i knocked her on her ass on the porch and took a chuck of skin out of my for arm on the banister and hit my nose on her head or shoulder or something.

i had a nice ride home with a bloody arm and nose.

fuck. my. life.

at least i got my gloves back...

If you are of a delicate nature; look away.

Otherwise, this is stuff to guzzle in the summer afternoons, winter-nights, or like me, first thing in the morning,
as mouthwash and aftershave.

Anybody brave enough to admit to liking "tramp juice"?

I ain't got no shame. And I ain't got no godammed champagne.

**Motto: **
**Must be cheap. Must be strong. **

My favourite is Kestrel Super.........so far.

I used to like St Ides malt liquor, which I think was 8.0%. Most malt liquors in Florida are in the 6% area, though. Colt 45 is decent, as is Mickey's Big Mouth.

Edit: although far too 'posh' to be called 'tramp juice,' the beers from Unibroue like La Fin du Monde are quite tasty.

He is amazingly talented, but I've never cared for his style (or his bass tone). But he is awesome.

lol ! the forks ! wowzers.

I think the purple chain completes the look.

Odd front wheel.

excuse me im getting my posts jumbled. both were posted independently (the kermit for some green bike, and the leader on its own) is that weirder? - Nope, do I spend too much time here - yes.

So the fugly bike I found on Facebook is NOT a repost? Score!

thats a double repost, the kermit thing came up last time too.

Damnit! (but at least we're being consistent)

I like PBR... When did it become a hipster drink? I've been drinking it since I first went to the States in the 90s... Cheap and bloody good when they're ice cold on a blistering hot day... Long neck of course, crap out of a can... Not keen on the draught either...

I prefer it out of the can! Same with Budweiser, too.

Weird.

A track bike is a bike that can be used on the track which could be a range of geometry. As long as the BB is high enough to be allowed on a track then fine. The Fuji doesn't come with brakes, has a track based fixed gearing and a higher BB than a road bike so to me would suggest it is for a track. Not sure why it needs to look a certain way?

I was mainly referring to the front fork and the bb height. That said, I can see from the picture that was posted that the bb is higher than I remembered.

I had a couple of PBRs while in Canada last week. But I was being post-ironic.

They have PBR in Canada? Cool!

It all comes down to your own personal preference and when you're splashing out on a luxioury good like a trendy 'fixie' you'll choose your ignorant gut feeling over any good advice anyone can give you. So choose and enjoy.

What does this have to do with me? I asked a serious question. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers or whatever. LeMond calls the Fillmore a track bike (or used to, back when they had a website), but I wouldn't call it one. I did all sorts of research before I bought a bike. So I wouldn't say I went on an 'ignorant gut feeling.'

Last time I went home, the pound was about 2:1 with the dollar, but it seemed like everything had gone up in price since I had been there last. That said, 3 dollars or so for a beer wasn't too bad. Some places will do a bucket of PBR (in cans) for a cheap price.

It's vile.

Fair enough. I wonder if you would like malt liquor (a la Colt 45 or Old English).

I take it you're not a Budweiser drinker, huh?

Is dogsnballs actually rolling on the floor laughing?

Budweiser is made of rice. Fact.

Budweiser is made WITH rice. Fact! (It has other stuff, too, like barley and hops).

I have no idea what the deal is with PBR but it seems to be hypercool in That America by all accounts.

I think it has something to do with irony. Or hipsters co-opting American 'working class' cultural signifiers, like trucker caps and whatnot. As a beer goes, it's not bad. If, by 'not bad,' you mean 'not bad if you like the taste of American-style lagers.' I still prefer Budweiser.

Is the Fuji really a 'track' bike anyway? I guess the seat tube angle is a but steeper than the one on the Fillmore, but it pretty much just looks like a road bike. The dimensions aren't all that different than the Fillmore. The Bianchi Pista looks more like a track bike to me.

Nice bag. I've been thinking of getting one of those, but have no money right now.

I found it funny that the guy on Flickr filled his pack with PBR. Of course he would.

fillmore's are just as heavy as plugs!

fuji track's are too cheap and nasty. plug or go a bianchi pista.

Not true. Plug is heavier. Not saying the Fillmore is really lightwieght, but it does have double-butted tubing, which helps shave a bit of weight.

I probably would've bought a Plug if it had been a bit larger.
