I know some of you guys / gals are into Bicycles... post!

After checking out SkidMark's sick cruiser, I know that there are some of ya'll who have some sort of bike (bicycle). Whether its a road bike, mountain bike, commuter, or cruisers (I want one now after seeing SkidMark's)... discuss!

I bought a Specialized Allez about less than a month ago. I figured out why its called "an entry level road bike" I sold that damn thing and bought a Felt F4C... Can't wait to get it... just some basic mods being done to fit me better ;)

here was the Specialized Allez... only pic I took of it. long gone... not even 3 weeks old hahaha

I love this bike so much, it makes me sad that I got to ride it only once this year before needing to repair more stuff.
Switched to plain street tires after blowing out the rear, but I'm waiting for a set of orange street tires.

I love bicycles, old school bmx , mountain bikes, and crusiers. I currently have an old raleigh hard tail. I don't know the model. I like to own a black and gold SE P.K. RIPPER, a pink and a gold Hutch Trickstar, Redline RL-20, and Haro Master with bash guard. My favorite bike that I owned was a blck Haro Master with bash guard. It got stolen. I use to have dreams for years that I found it.

That's a sick bike Boosty! Yours and SkidMark's really make me want to build a cruiser for going to the convenience store 'n shit, but I dunno if I could go without trying to jump over stuff!

Here's mine now:
Forum image
I get a lot more looks and comments than I anticipated with this bike, but that's cool. It's been very reliable, and a shit load of fun. I got some black 3 spoke mags with black tires too. I just didn't like how they looked with the orange Kontacts.

Today I picked up this Macneill DeuceDeuce frame for a wicked discount.

I'm pretty stoked about building a modern bike - it's a challenge finding stuff for my Dyno, 'cuz it's mostly old tech.

Cop a bent fork and swap to a shorter crank... then you'll really be low! Throw on some metal pedals and make the sparks fly!
