personally, i think the rensho looks a little bit like a broke ass circus...colors are all over the place. im not really one to be a fashion ***** when it comes to bikes, but if you're obviously gonna try and be all hip, atleast see it through.

I agree about the rim stickers. In fact, I told him yesterday how lame they look.
but I think hating on deep vs is silly for a lot of reasons. One of which is, if they were high profile campy 1996 rims, (which Jake also has and occasionally runs) no one would say anything negative. In fact, people might complement him on his taste. So if you're hating on someone for their choice of bike aesthetics and adding the disclaimer "im not really one to be a fashion *****" then what you're really trying to say is you disapprove of the brand name and possibly what it stands for?
Okay, I get that a lot of people think deep vs are synonymous to the hipster boom into the fg/track world... but hell, they're a solid rim and people use them because they like them.
Jake has spent a lot of time and effort on his bike. I think it looks rad. And I know for a fact that he loves it and rides it every damn day.
COME ON, LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

Slotted cleat wear is instant cred, mang.
Also, the Hank tires are quite possibly the best cruiser-width tires on the market.

Yea I was going to ask last night hhow the **** you have all these amazing bikes.
And the 3Rensho is nothing to mess with. It is sharp as ****. First time I saw it, I was like "Oh ****... this thing rocks my world".
Deep V's are ****ing sweet also. They will always be.

seriously, how much time and care does it take to buy high-end bicycle parts?
huh? is this forum simply a stroke-fest? criticism isn’t a bad thing.

jacobpriest - your bike is sex. Screw the fashionistas, it's superbly spec'd. We build our rides the way we want because THAT'S THE WAY WE WANT THEM. If people don't like it, fine, but if they get nasty about it then they can just blow it out their collective ass.
