The R3V Bicycle Thread

[ColdAccord]

wrd up on the carbon, but I would not want an aluminum daily. even with carbon seat/chain stays and fork

[Farbin Kaiber]

So being as my bike is a "Fuji" I was thinking about the r3v fixed clan concept, then I had an idea, My brother does airbrush/vinyl, and I'm now thinking of having a "r3" made to match the "Fuji", thus making a "r3fuji" bicycle.

lol.

on my geared bike, some of the letters were peeling so I switched it up a little

[Farbin Kaiber]

Noice. I guess that opens up the same option to scabzzz.





Useful Info. I couldn't find it at Sheldon Brown's page, but found it here.

<crickets>



And true dat on the carbon.. This ^ bike was all aluminum and wasnt as comfortable as my steel plus carbon fiber bike. Thanks again Ben...

[lowlightbw]

no problem. that fork is full carbon and is def plush. i rode a super tight geometry fuji track pro for 3 years daily, and it wasnt comfortable at ALL. fast, hell yes, but def not a good daily bike. my bike now is all steel and its like riding a caddy:) scabzzz i should be up your way around the 15th or 16th. i might end up having to ship that stuff back to me because my fiance needs the 30 to drive to work :(

ungh. coached yesterday for 3 hours (ice hockey goalie coach), played forward for an hour after that, then came home and went on the midinight ride, ~15 mile ride with 100 people. Made 4 stops. first was the new boardwalk:





then Tift nature preserve, then Gates Circle



then the Japanese Gardens in Olmsted's Delaware Park





fun ride, but my legs are beat from all that hockey then riding!

100 People! That's crazy... That would fun to ride with that many people.

It doesn't feel heavy but I haven't put it on a scale.

Fuck, our night rides are lucky to get 8 people.

We're trying to get a Critical Mass going in Bend, but it's not going well so far. :(

[Farbin Kaiber]

Looks like I found a few guys from some of the CM events and Midnignt Ridazz, groups of up to 1,400 on the friday night events. 30+ miles. I'll have to work up to that and get going.

CM in philly is freakin HUUUUUUUUUUUGE

so is the tuesday night philly-soft-pretzel rides. midnight, every tuesday. 20 minute ride from the museum to the philly soft pretzel factory for freshly made pretzels. so freakin good!

[ColdAccord]

I've never been on the critical mass ride. They meet at 6pm at city hall fridays (I think the 3rd friday of every month?) but I always work fridays. In Buffalo though it's mostly cruisers, and they go slow. I like the sunday-midnight ride because its mostly roadbikes (geared and fixed) and the pace is a good deal faster, also there is very little interference with traffic being so late
