how much does your bike weigh now?

JDMTyler3326 · 03-25-2009, 10:30 PM

I really don't know at all.

den9 · 03-26-2009, 01:52 AM

i used to have a standard sta500, someone stole it, im pissed they dont make that frame anymore, i think it was one of the best frames imo

Honduh · 03-26-2009, 02:47 AM

No let me ask you something.....do you really know how to ride your bike or do you just stand next to it. No offence i just hate kids that have nice bikes and can't do ****.

Heres a pic of my current ride. Its a Standard Trls250 ox platinum with pitchforks, odyssey hazzard wheels with cassette hub, primo power bites, redneck stem, odyssey pedals, primo seat post, snafu seat, animal sprocket.....yadda yadda. I don't really ride much anymore

If you know anyone I'm looking to trade my LHD setup for a RHD setup.

You can keep your gearing since I like my set up I just want to be able to run a RHD so I don't have to worry about my chain as much unless im doing pedal grinds.

FazdaGt · 03-26-2009, 01:04 PM

i rock an eastern, i go through phases where i get into riding, then life gets busy and my bike sits for months at a time.

pitchforks are the only forks i've ever used that i haven't destroyed.

FazdaGt · 03-26-2009, 03:49 PM

haha it got cold right after i bought the new one...

now that it's warming up i'll be out more often again.

i need to get a bike rack for the vette though

Soon2bG60 · 03-26-2009, 03:54 PM

I want to change to LHD

UPDATE
All of my spokes are out of my rim. Tomorrow we are sanding it then Primer, paint the rim. Then Saturday morning Clear coating it, then later in the after noon I am dropping it off at a bike shop for new spokes. Then sunday my rim will be DONE.

Soon2bG60 · 03-26-2009, 03:59 PM

your gonna primer your spokes? Why not just spend the extra 15 and get news ones? Its kinda hard to paint spokes, cause there so small, and round, dont always get it all. I ****ed a rim up tryen to do that, Now it looks like ****.

oh sorry man. I htought you meant sanding the spokes and all. haha my bad.

FazdaGt · 03-26-2009, 06:16 PM

come to think of it i did cram that bike and two people into the vette when i picked it up.

**Got Insulin?** · 03-26-2009, 06:20 PM

Don't clear or primer your rim. It's a bike. If you ever go back to using brakes again, that surface won't stop. Additionally, why is your timetable so long, and what shop are you taking this to?

Well I want the rim to turn very good so. I am gonna primer and clear. I am never gonna go back to brakes.

What do you mean by timetable so long? Also I am taking it too Larry's.

JimH · 03-26-2009, 08:56 PM

Man this brings back memories. I remember building a Haro about 15 years ago. The frame weighed line 9lbs. Think the whole bike was around 35. Misc haro/redline/dyno parts. No brakes. My foot worked great.

From experience, your wheels will look just fine un-cleared, but I hope yours turn out boss either way. I'll take some pics of mine and post up in a minute, and try to grab a few off of my laptop from riding...
