What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

[mrjimyjohn]

Damn those sound like some crazy deals, especially the frame and fork. They look to be in great condition...

[Austin Tasseltine]

havent ridden it in like a week cos of work, but on the plus side, ive decided ive got enough money to get a custom standard if i can sort out the specs i want

[montymitch]

rode for about 5 minutes and called it quits. Work has totally f-d my wrist.

[Boomhauer]

Put a fresh tube in the rear tyre and pumped both tubes up to 80 P.S.I, tightened my headset (a bit too much) and went riding.. My bike feels like a dream now, everything feels like it's new.

Similar situation here, I work 50-60 hour weeks (second shift), so that pretty much kills my week except Sundays. Thankfully I start a new job on Monday. Salary position, 1st shift hours and more free time....... I can't wait. More time to ride and finally finish some work on my house.

What sort of custom are you getting from SBC? I love my custom that I got last year.

What's a custom standard go for if you don't mind me asking?

[Austin Tasseltine]

im looking at a custom STA. the regular frame is $425, then you add extra cost for the custom elements. i want a steeper headtube ($45) and was looking at a shorter back end but thats $100 extra (cos of having to set all the tubes up differently for a custom length).

I also originally enquired about custom standover height ($45) cos the new style STAs from a couple of years back were real low, but the newer version has a better standover. im kind of torn cos i like a short backend but i also like running my bashguard on the inside which doesnt allow for much clearance unless the frame uses a wishbone design (like a sunday) so i dunno.

I really want an STA but to get it how i want is gonna cost a lot. The guy i was talking to suggested getting a juke, maybe a juke with the classic standard gusset would be a good compromise

[Topsey]

Well i have just ordered some new handle bars. CLUEEEEES

4-Piece
HOOOOOGE
Chrome
Originally made in the USA but supposedly the majority of them broke so they switched production to Taiwan.
Theyre about to change the shape, I was on the fence about ordering them but the new ones look real crappy compaired to the originals, so the current model was ordered.

[KillSeth]

Stranger? If so, what does the new shape look like?

[Topsey]

Yup ordered Thrash bars

These are the new versions, i much prefer the tubes sticking out of the bottom slightly to these.

[GUMP_]

Wow the box is huge on those thrash bars

[Sasha]

Tubes not sticking out would be way better for turn me downs.

33t on
coaster on
pegs off

[skateparkrider]

Relaced my front wheel with some fresh spokes and nips, new chain and new tires.

[Pat]

Rode for about an hour with a good crew of people, Iced down the biggest rail I have ever done it down then tried in the same line to smith 180 off an up-ledge and damn near broke my ankle. So I'm out for a week or so.
