DM is a Maryland band It's onnnnnn yourrrrrrrr handsssss I was rockin that cd the other day.

 

let's stay on the topic of bikes now...?

we do have PM's

on that note, anyone have experiences with leather or cloth handlebar tape?

 

I've used the toshi cloth tape and liked it. Only down side was it got dirty really fast. Dirt loves to cling to it. If you get black it shouldn't be a problem.

 

yea i had leather (perforated)on my road bike, leather can be comfy forsure .

 

ahh good to know...I'm looking into the Toshis. I'm not really worried about the tape getting dirty just more about durability n stuff.

 

I would do some bad , bad things for that yamaguchi right there

 

That is my dream bike right there.

 

I remember reading that the guch posted above was converted. It was originally a roadie. Supposedly the owner cut of the ends and welded track ends. Can anyone confirm? It definitely needs a different chain and wheels.

Awesome bikes! I like the roadbikes with the smaller handlebars the best (are they called Hybrids?).

Without going through and reading all 322 pages of this topic, could someone explain how to stop on a brakeless bike?

 

has anyone here ridden one of these ? if so , what did you think ? KHS Aerp Track. Thinking of getting one

 

i'm a big fan of those KHS frames

the white chain on the guchi makes me sad

dope frameset nontheless!

 

i've never seen a frame so small with that curved seat tube. looks like there is just barely enough room to get the seatpost below the top tube which is the general rule to avoid any problems with that area cracking or breaking, even with that extended seat tube area above the top tube.

and those campy aero posts are usually pretty damn short, how far below the clamp does it go?

 

If I get the khs , I think im gonna take it to bishop and see if i can get the corners webbed , love that look . The broakland pipebomb has the front webbed i believe, and there was one tripple triangle russian frame that had it big time

 

A guy I bought a couple things from is selling one. Not sure if its your size, but here you go: http://passwordnjs.com/Inventory.htm

oh , thats racist..

 

id love to get the 80s pista hes selling as well . I could never repaint over that though, looks too good. The pista used to be a really well made, hand made in italy frame. Now, still decent geometry, but almost looked down apon and mass produced over in china .

Oh ya it is a strong wheel. That wheel costs at least $1100 if you can find one for sale. At lease HED you can get for 300-500. I have seen IO get crashed and survive no problem, also seen them get destroyed.

But hey, to each his own. If he has the money to get an IO and ride it on the street good for him.
