    I spent just over three and a half on my beast... pretty much volume parts all the way... Love it! Ride everyday to my shitty job and it's the only part of the working day I enjoy.

    ^^ low gearing for the steep hills or windy day.. titanium or carbon fiber frame, something light to get around with.. pretty much calls for a fun thrilled day

    thanks guys. i found some videos on how to comvert a regular bike into a fixed gear which is what ill be doing to when i find the right bike. its just more or less to get around and for some nice exercise. i dont think ill be focussing on the "aesthetic" and fad portion until i deem it necessary to drop serious cheddar on a fucking bicycle.

    oh, yeah yeah i get you on that. if i can do the skid stop fairly easily with a couple tries or get proficient at pace pedaling, there is no need to even use the brakes as "training wheels."

    why do you have this urge to tear a bike appart? they look way cooler in their original state..

    i did it to resell it and make it more marketable. that and i wanted to customize and build something from the ground up. its a shit load of fun. the only shitty part is running out of cashflow during the build.
