Whats that padded checker wraparound for? I saw another guy with a yellow and black one on his fixie at school today. I want one.... haha

Anyways I traded in that other bike for this one because the other one really was too big. It says carbolite 103 on the fork. Is that good?

As much as I want to mod it, I bought the bike to save money on gas. So mods will have to wait, except maybe handlebars. I really want some that are just straight instead of dropped, a goldfinger brake lever and I want to delete the rear brake. So far from what I can tell, this bike feels way better than the other one.



And some JACKASS at school locked his helmet through my bike today, so I had to get the campus police to bring some cable cutters.

Red, that sucks... id be pissed

does anyone on here do anything except road biking?

This is my new bike, just finished it last week, and beat the shit out of it on the weekend at Whistler Mountain.
Very budget build @$560

06 Kona Stab garbanzo primo frame
04 super T pro forks (barely used)
Race face head set, and bars
Avid juicy 9 brakes
Deemax front wheel & hub, shitty rear wheel (still waiting on the Deemax rear)
Race face bash guard, with chain guide
Swinger 4-way rear shock
kona locking grips

Hells yeah Kowalski. Im a mtb guy at heart too. Nice bike btw... And it doesnt sound like a "budget" build...

just got back from my daily evening skatepark session at our just now one year old cement bowl park. i was all alone tonight, a rare treat. the aspens are pretty much at their peak color, and the weather was impecable. 60 degrees, no wind, blue skies. heaven. it was on my bmx bike, in case anyone is confused...

[So Live]

Sounds pretty bad ass dude. Im kinda jealous. I wish i could ride my bmx bike all alone....

I like the white with lime green.

Better than black IMO.

[Jand3rson]

I like the white with lime green.

Same here, good color scheme. I like the front fork, is that stock on that bike?

[T3rd Ferguson]

Yes it is

[Jand3rson]

I want a straight fork, I don't like the look of the curved ones as much.

x2. I am burnt on mine. I need to start with finding a new fork for my bike.

[T3rd Ferguson]

to be honest, i love it, but it's slightly unpractical. my toes rub when i turn sharply with a foot forward. my cranks are 165. there wasn't much i could do, so i just got used to it.

[Il Duce]

I love your bike Andy. Bareknuckles are SO hot. I hear yah on the toe-rub... I get that from my bike too, but only when I'm turning really slowly and sharply.

[scabzzzz]

The peugot leaning against that big statue is a kid in philly i believe. also, i believe to be the same kid i saw crashing into the back of a cab.

I have that same bike

lulz

Still in factory form. OG.

[scabzzzz]

Andy's bike rides as good as it looks too..

Obligatory cell phone shot

Mounted my Brooks Viscount Gel lite seat
700x23 Michelin lithiums in baby blue
New Jackie Waltz houndstooth top tube pad

Next will be new pedals and clips since I broke my cage on one side.
Thinking about getting a new frame now too. If I do, I'll put mine up for sale. Anyone interested in my frame?

[So Live]

What frame is it?
