Pushing a 52x17 ratio, and lovingly named "Bull ****," according to FGG.

What is with all these bikes from the FGG having no straps/platform pedals, and all you folks complain about is the color/fork choice? SRSLY.

I noticed that last night. I think I counted three bikes from Tuesday/Wednesday that had platform pedals and no brakes. Lord knows how many there are with platforms and a single, janky old brake that, at best, barely works.

when I put on the 650c wheel, i have to raise the stem and I don't bother to take off the FREE TT protector I was given from a friend. Jesus.

650c spinergy... so I want a wheel for a bike I'm going to be thoroughly abusing and putting my foot next to while it's spinning fast. I know how about a wheel with a reputation for collapsing and causing serious injury when spun into body parts.
Bars are still low even with the stem jacked up, risers are cut stupid short. grips curve around as if putting your hand on the bend of a riser could be at all comfortable or provided a useful grip, vans and pedals not meant for vans....
I thought you were going on before about how you rode with your stem at a reasonable height now? I guess that was just another load of **** like your attempts to get out the "race" comment if your stems hitting the TT. And before you try to bull**** your way out of this one consider how close the protector is to the HT.

Yea, this has become kind of ridiculous. I mean, is the game now "guess-what's-wrong-with-this-bike"? Seeing that Marinoni placed next to that Toy Track (shudders) is just not cool.
And is that seriously what a penguin's anus looks like? It's seriously a cartoon-like little red nipple?

There isn't much as bad as the toy track so the thread must go on with lesser jackass bikes. The marinoni is especially funny because that's the third jackass set up of it that's been posted(once by the owner as justification which was then made fun of even more).

Sick!
Please explain the use of the 650c wheel.
I cant see any reason you'd wanna run that, other than to keep pics of your bike continually posted in this thread.

results in less speed, but for some people being always able to top out at their fastest isn't a priority.

I know it's hard to comprehend. But a 700c wheel won't spin dude

guys, it's not about speed. I only ride my bike to bars and back home so I can stick the TT protector on my balls to lower my sperm count because with Velocity's new wheel designs, we no longer need semen.

ourys are actually pretty long grips. you'd have to have gorilla paws to take up the whole of one from the end right to where the rubber stops. i have a similar-looking set up and my entire palm rests on the flats, but there's still a good inch of rubber on the curved section. the bars are 42cm wide, which to my mind is more than adequate.
