Just messing with you, here is fine.

This thread is for Dolan Pre Cursa and Track Champion, make a new thread for FXE Stealth.

^ I fail to see how that makes it less rat than a brand spanking new frame that's been hit with a chain and dragged across a gravel road to obtain that coveted "patina" without actually having to use the bike, but whatever floats your boat.

Love is a beautiful thing.

WOW free access to a webshop??? WHERE DO I SIGN UP!!!

^^ I think I do know what you mean, and I also think that's part of why I like it. Like germanmarc said, it's not the typical bike with the typical parts we all know are expensive. Although admittedly it shouldn't be difficult to build a nice bike with that sort of budget, I still appreciate the individualistic nature of this one.

it doesnt look that bad for a cheap-ish build.

I don't know what constitutes a cheap-ish build to you but I did some calculation and you're looking at about £1500 worth of parts. I know I'm poor but I simply can't consider that to be cheap.

it's an odd choice for an otherwise unprepossessing build. The gold spoke nipples tip it over in to 'cares too much' anti

Seems strange to call this bike unprepossessing. Compared to the vast majority of bikes posted in here, the choice of components is quite individualistic. I would happily own and ride it.

is dat a sonic the hedgehog t-shirt?

cough

Anyway... My point was since it's only for commuting short distances, they'll both do basically the same job in about half an hour.

Cough all you want but you're really not proving anything here beside your own biggotry. I actually said "the kind of riding", not "the kind of rides". Not everybody rides his commute the same way. Open your eyes next time you're on one of your epic long distance rides and see the myriad ways people ride using different kinds of bikes.

I just read the OP. Did you?

That's an indirect way of saying the latter. Thanks for your contribution, you've managed to answer one question in this thread so far. Now try to answer the question in the OP that you read so thoroughly.

due to the abnorm ammount of so so bikes been posted, the category of hhsb gets very blurry. sometimes i need to check if i am at hhsb or already surfing in anti..... .

My trick is to see if I'm bored: If I am, I'm in HHSB; if not I'm in anti. At least there's some creativity in the bikes in that thread.

And on the subject of bar end plugs, definitely yes.

Are you being pedantic or stupid?

^ First bikes that really fit the og HHSB definition on this thread in time.

Thank you, I'm happy people notice. It's dark times for the OG HHSB.

Different materials. Depends on the kind of riding you do and what your expectations are, but I'd take an entry level alu frame with carbon forks over an entry level steel frame with steel forks any day.

I want all of these.

Not as nice as I thought it would be.

Weird how such a nice pile of bits builds up into such an ugly bike. Although it would probably look ten million times better without that fucking rack.

Rolf wheels are P.I.M.P.

Waiting for everybody on here to say yes is going to take longer than the lead time on a Low. Because it will never be the sensible option. But if you think yes then go for it. Exactly how many people do you need to tell you no before you change your mind?

watch out guys, TM is getting more bad ass by every ninja edit

To answer the question in the opening post: Nope.

And now to join in the totally unrelated conversation on how people would rather spend that money: I'd buy a car or a dishwasher or go on a vacation with my hot girlfriend.

Slavery.

Avoid old single pivot ones.

Got into an uncomfortably vicious altercation the other day whereby I had to use my bike as an offensive weapon. Guy bottled a woman and was swinging the broken shards at a policewoman, so I threw the bike at him.

It survived without a scratch. I love my Bike.

Wow somebody should make some kind of projectile smaller and more convenient to carry around than a bike and then invent something to fire that small projectile accurately at anything you point it at and then equip the British police with it.
