The R3V Bicycle Thread

[rodrigo]

Got a ticket for riding without a helmet and lights, $3** fine, but can go to "bicycle safety school" sometime in the next two months. He said I was going excessively fast through an intersection and suspected me of trafficking drugs across town...Got searched etc etc etc.

i'm 'generally' a helmet person, but thats rediculous.

That's pretty much the same color my frame is, but I cannot STAND those Zipp wheels. They look all huge and bulbous, like really big, overinflated tires.

i have a lot of respect for Zipp's. They are very effective as a strong, light aero wheel

Looks great! I like the paint/color scheme.

This is seriously fucking hot. I love the rims. And that's about how much clearance my rear tire has to my seat tube right now, it's rad.



Also hot as fuck. I love Vigorellis, and I love that Rolf front rim. And the rear one seals it, I'm getting red deep V's.



Dear sweet Jesus on the cross...

that last bike is fug

[Jand3rson]

No way man, I love it. You've probably started to get an idea of my taste in bikes. I love frames like that one, Leaders, Felts, etc. I like old-school style bikes too, but I really love the modern-styled, fast looking, straight-up track bikes. One of the really badass things about that bike above is how the angular sections of the frame blend with the angled part of the Deep V rims, and how it's all flat black. And that fork is just fucking SICK.

whatever josh, this is what you need.

please take the stickers off of the deep v. and although those bikes are nice to look at mr. anderson, most of them are uncomfortable as SHIT to ride Daily. trust me, ive done it. now im on steel/brooks and i wont go back.

My freaking cranks are too long. It's starting to piss me off. On a sharp corner the other day my pedal caught the ground and I nearly died. I think I need smaller cranks, a smaller cog and a smaller chain ring.

Wat? you have, what, 170mm cranks, 46-50t/16-18t?

Are you running the pedals that came stock with your bike? My brother bought the same bike as you, and had to ditch those right away.

The pedal timing is something you need to get down for turning.
