Full Auto Mode

Oh ok.

Just kidding..
I actually did put it on Manual. I didnt change any settings. I didnt use a tripod so all the shots came out blurry. Guess a tripod is the key to get good lighting and crisp high def pics?

It's the only way you can do a long exposure without blurring the whole thing up. Auto Focus or Manual Focus?

Auto focus..
Telescoping lense. Looks like a giant black dildo. No homo.

For future reference, oven cleaner fucking owns sanding when it comes to removing anodizing on parts.

Went for a ride today... f-ing wind...

Yeah man! It's all over the state! Where did you ride?

[Jand3rson]

Dude, it was windy as a motherfucker here today, too. I commute about an hour to work and an hour back, and on the way back, I was driving into a STRONG headwind the whole way. My gas mileage probably went to shit. But I HATE riding in the wind.

So who makes that frame? And I take it those rims are custom?

Looks like vinyl over Deep V's for those rims.

[Jand3rson]

Nope, you can buy them like that. They're Sun Ringle rims.

What I want to know is where can I find those toe clip straps? I got red leather ALE straps, but I don't really like them.

hey guys, i ran across a fixie i kinda like just a little while ago. it's a giant bowery.

it's $489, and i could probably take it on the plane with me as a checked bag.

so the price is about the same as a windsor with shipping to germany...hmmm

here's a review on it

The only thing about that bike is that it has more of a road Geometry to it instead of a track frame. It's more angled back and the cranks are much lower. This may not make too much difference. but I really have realized that I enjoy riding a track frame more than a road frame.

That is an EAI Bareknuckle. The same exact frame i have.

[T3rd Ferguson]

Have you sold your other frame yet t3rd?

I just sold it yesterday. Built it up with weinmann (sp?) DP18s in bright silver and cheapo drop bars. I sold it to my friend Jon from school who got fed up with his SE Draft (never buy an SE)

The Bareknuckle is handmade in a small shop in Italy, and they are true track geometry. It's a truly magnificent frame and the detail work is top notch. I would reccomend it to you but i don't know what your budget is. The Frame/Fork combo can be found anywhere between ~634 to 800 dollars depending on where you get it.
