Re: bike thread
Still have my Dahon I got for free a few years ago. It does it's job perfectly for city/street biking. I've only changed the tires and brake pads once from being worn and I oil up the chain every once in a while. It's nowhere near as cool looking as the other pictures in the thread but here's a pic of a similar model anyways. I have a bungee and grate shelf over my rear tire.

those cross checks are pretty rad.

Re: bike thread
I wish I could ride to work but most of the commute is highway. I hate the thought of being one of those guys holding up cars in high traffic areas where there are no bike lanes also.

Re: bike thread
Yeah, its a cheap piece of shit, but it was free. I'll look online for tutorials tonight, maybe.
I think the only money I'd put into it would be a seat, if I can fix the other stuff myself. I don't think it's going to collapse into itself any time soon, it's barely been used.

I like those bullhorn handlebar things, at least for the looks. I haven't ridden a bike in years!

I also ride a Windsor (Hour) and love it. Yeah the Iro kids frown upon them but they are solid enough for a SS/fixed. Change the parts out as needed and you are gold. I changed my cranks and stem out and changed the bars to bull horns. great commuting rig for me.
Enjoy your new ride.

Bike-Hornie post.TheDOAD wrote: That is almost exactly what I was talking about. HOWEVER. You are a pretty light guy? I think you could ride that for a number of miles and Be happy. But look down the road for an investment on new wheels, pedals and Other parts which will be somewhat cheap to replace. Those have a Nice steel frame and I see people riding on them all the time and they seem happy with it. I do know after reading lots of bike forums that the components are just meh (not even in a bike snob sense, just in a limited lifetime sense).
Hey, remember that Ross I got with the decent cranks? I need to get that thing tuned up, maybe single-speeded.

Re: bike thread
I made some adjustments on my Walmart piece of shit. I still can't get below seventh, but at least seven and up work properly now. I don't know if it's bent or mounted wrong, but no amount of adjustments would make the front cage move at all. Hmm.

Re: bike thread
Hahaha yeah... I think my dad may have wiped out on it, because I think the whole assembly is a little bent. It's fine for now. I went through a bush today.
