Edgelord

[gowjobs]

"An edgelord is someone on an internet forum who deliberately talks about controversial, offensive, taboo, or nihilistic subjects in order to shock other users in an effort to appear cool, or edgy."

With that in mind, I will start out with an AV Customs RAPTOR frame, and a matching square tube fork from Flying Machine Bicycle Parts, because a really cool bike can't be built using old parts.

Schwinns? Shelbys? Junk. Throw that bluebird in the trash. It's useless.

I'm Shocked, yet that sure appears cool and edgy.

Step 1: Dig it out from behind the press, where it's been stashed for the last few months.

Step Two: Mock up on wheels (24"x 80mm, I think)

Already, I am reminded that small folks aren't worthy to ride such a bicycle. Minimum inseam: 34"

Yeah, gotta admit, Dave; your frame does have 'edges'.

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of crossfit-training vegan bros with tribal tattoos and stretched earlobes. You know, the cool stuff.

Step 3: Removing flash rust from the fork legs. Admit it, nobody really likes patina. They just say they do because they're too lazy to do anything about it.

Dear Bluebird owners,
Don't throw them out, send them to me for "recycling". It's better for the environment.

One of my must favorite frames ever. I’ll be watching this one!!!

Nice shipping crate, where's the bike that came in it? Lolz just kidding maybe. Just be careful you don't poke your eye out on that thing.

I really hope this edgy persona can be sustained throughout the whole build. I think I like it even more than that cool frame.

(Covers mic with left hand) Truthfully? Me too. It's definitely taking some effort for me. (Uncovers mic, clears throat

Popular wisdom is that, "you can't buy cool." That's just because so many of you poor folk need to feel better about yourselves.

Futuristic frame. But it's all backwards.

One came up here and almost purchased it, but I'm too lazy to pedal.

This bike is done by Olli here in Finland.

Too much labour going on with this thread already. You should be paying someone to perform it for you. Shameful, really.

Always loved his builds

First mock-up today was with the forks and swingarm both in "suicide" mode with 24" wheels. Ground clearance is for normies.

Great seatpan to add a little cafe racer streamline shell to the back of.
