Come on, nobody else is in for this? Is this going to be an OG Mazdateam excellency fest, or are some of you ******* going to come ride bikes?

2. dexter - fixed road
3. StarvingRussian - Wheels
4. Anna-chan - road (smooooottth)
5. iracemine

9. Msp2709-bmx
10. MonoxideChild - Bmx

11. cymx5 - road/tri/mtn


I haven't meet anyone yet...but I should be in for this. I'm on of those guys with the hidden hitch on the MS3. It appears those in this thread can appreciate it's presence!

 

[StarvingRussian]

I'm really looking forward to this.

 

[iguanaboy]

I would love to do this but I have a birthday party that day, plus I don't have a bike (sadbanana)

 

[Fear]

I'm Going! Calm The **** Down!

Your name's already on the list, chotch.

 

[Fear]

Also, I guess anyone who needs directions can just PM me.

I plan the end of the ride to culminate in a burrito-eating, booze-drinking party.

BE READY.

 

[iracemine]

its mostly a must to inhale burritos and margaritas. mostly.

 

[Dimitrios]

Also, I am about to go paint my Langster. **** me if it turns out bad.

Did you end up posting pics? Rattle can? I still need to repaint my Bontrager; was going to get it powdercoated but LoKo and Gorilla wanted an assload of money just for the frame.

 

[ΔΣxτΞr]

Oh, D, I shot 6 coats of Rustoleum dark gray primer (can) and 6 coats of DuPont flat black via HVLP in my garage. I can do some painting for you, if you'd like.

 

[Aricjm15]

how are you planning to stop that thing? looks hot btw

 

[Fear]

It's a single, fixed gear, so the only way to slow down is to resist the pedal motion. You can also lock your legs and skid, but no track bikes being raced on a velodrome have brakes. Since nobody has them, nobody can slow down any faster than you (theoretically), and having brakes could actually be a safety hazard.

 

[iracemine]

dude that thing came out great!
