The Bike Shop / Re: T1 Cyclops Stem

« on: December 28, 2016, 12:51:44 PM »

that looks like way to much bullshit just to put a stem on

I agree 100%. As soon as I saw that it has imperial hardware, that was enough for me to not want it. And, I'm a proud T1 owner and booster. That said, I'm glad it finally got made and that everyone that owns one seems super stoked on it. It just isn't for me. I'm in the market for a new stem and I think the Relic Eon (rider owned company, USA made, metric hardware) is the way to go.

That blue WTP cruiser looks like it'd be fun to rip around on at the local woods but why the fuck would they give it a 1 inch threaded head tube?

That's just the worst, really. They kept it because "heritage" I guess, and then they spec V-brakes?  Hopefully you never have to replace the damn gooseneck. Can you still buy new 1" quill BMX stems? There's so much more inch and an eighth shit out there. They had to go to extra hassle to make it so much worse.

Coloured tyres are fucking minging, especially the french baguette ones.

So right. The camo ones have to be the worst yet though.

After reading this thred I definitely checked my brand new Code for any bits inside it. When I shook it, I heard a little something. Since I've built it up I can't hear it while riding.

Got a coupe questions. The ones that are $85 are pretty new and the others are just a bit more used? Also, will you ship to Canada? I'll pay the extra shipping if there is any.

Sell and Swap / WTB Fly Brakes

I'm looking for a set of the older Fly brakes, either the CNC'd OG ones or the Classico. I'd prefer the chainstay bend ones, but any would be cool. I'm up in Canada, but I'm sure we could work out the shipping. Thanx!

The Bike Shop / "Classic" geometry?

« on: July 04, 2015, 11:00:55 AM »

I've been looking for a new frame, something a bit shorter and lower than my Lurch. I'm looking for something with a 13.65-13.75" backend, 11.75" BB, 71° ST, 8-9" standover and 74-74.5° HT. That's what I think "classic" geo is, anyway. Or am I just out of touch? Does anybody still make a frame like this anymore? I know about the Pedal Driven Kool Thing, but is that it?
