It makes no difference what color or what you have on your bikes. JUST RIDE! get some dirt on it.

Irax, not to be a dick, but WTF is up with the barbie color scheme? I like your build, but that colorway. Man.

Yes, colors make you seen, but do you really need to be THAT vibrant?

irax · 09-17-2010, 04:12 PM

you'll see when its done.

I do this as well, i sit my heal on the crank.

I like it, lol.

But I like the crazy, over the top looking bikes.
I ride in a large city where bikes are EVERYWHERE, its nice to stand out a little and have some fun.

hailandkill · 09-18-2010, 02:41 PM

nathanong87 · 09-18-2010, 08:33 PM

whoa i found this old video!

i remember when this video was posted on some japanese blogs as a guide to the spin. now tricking is ridiculously crazier. good times! 2+ years ago

Pop up spinny thing on Vimeo

irax · 09-19-2010, 12:42 AM

something tells me that I'm going to wish I ordered a wheel set from a different company. Its been three days since the payment was cleared and not one word of shipping information. this is starting to tick me off.

jdizzy204 · 09-19-2010, 04:04 AM

I just ordered my bob jackson vigorelli in metallic grigio! will look a bit like this minus the seat tube

dunno about those brake line guides through tt but bob jackson's are quality.

jdizzy204 · 09-19-2010, 05:19 PM

you have to request that from BJ and I'm not running a rear brake so i wont have it on mine.

sounds awesome then!

NINJASPY · 09-19-2010, 07:24 PM

how long is the wait on the bob jackson? eta? care to disclose how much you paid? lol

Slammed Assassin · 09-20-2010, 12:19 AM

finally! here's a picture I found on my friends website of me and my bike.. sorry im not very sexy..lol

jdizzy204 · 09-20-2010, 12:29 AM

I just ordered it yesterday and haven't heard from BJ yet on wait time. They also have to send me a quote for shipping since i'm in korea. I'm gonna get bent over by customs but i don't really care. I'll own this bike for the rest of my life.

Based on what I've read previously the wait time can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks depending on how busy they are. It was an off the peg vigorelli so you can see what i paid by looking at their website.

I love lugged track frames

uhh what are you talking about? thats totally legit! Peugeot has been doin that for years on their bikes. and so has many other bike manufacturers

hailandkill · 09-20-2010, 03:06 AM

he probably means on a track bike/fixed gear, most don't use rear brakes

yokotas13 · 09-20-2010, 09:11 PM

new cranks, and a bunch of other stuff on the way. maybe wednesday or thursday will be here

drftwerks · 09-20-2010, 10:44 PM

have you actually ridden on a velodrome?

your choice for parts and your bragging about small commutes/riding/skidding is fucking retarded.

fuck.

irax · 09-21-2010, 12:04 AM

You know what really pisses me off. I finally got tracking number for my wheel set, after emailing 4 times and calling once. That they lied to me about when it shipped! I don't give a fuck if the shipping was free! If you say it shipped this morning and I finally get a tracking number 4 hours later saying that you shipped it 2:30 in the afternoon (2 hours before they finally gave me tracking info) give me more than a "Thanks!" at the end of the email. UGH!

Z_Spool · 09-21-2010, 01:53 AM

well hey... at least they're on their way, yeah?

irax · 09-21-2010, 02:15 AM

yeah but it was still an ordeal... i feel like i'm dealing with my xgf... it's like pulling teeth just to get the truth when it would of be easier and I would of been perfectly happy with the truth
