Alliteration provided free of charge.

Not mine, but I keep seeing this on craigslist. Pretty damn cool mix of road bike and rat. Yes, that is a carbon fork. And a chrome skull. Sweet!

Bet it can really scoot on those thin tires.

Carbon Aero Fork
Shimano 600 Cranks
MRP American to English Bottom Bracket
Crono Front Wheel with Velocity Clifhanger Rim

how much are they asking for it?

Kind of like how mine was originally set up except hipster instead of BMX.

Nothing wrong with hipster bikes, I own a hipster single-speed, but they can be taken too far.

Asking price? Five bones. A bit high, no?

Did it look anything like this?

People are blown away when they pick up this bike. It weighs just a hair over 20 pounds. I have been tempted to rat the thing out, just haven't got up the nerve.

 

[greggah]

thats the one.. sweet ride.. is that yours?

 

[ricksterr1221]

Yes, greggah, it is mine. I noticed something funny after purchasing this bike.

Roadie guys really don't like being passed by some "fat guy on a cruiser." Hurts their feelings it does. Little do they know, I commute over 3000 miles per year. Thighs of iron, I tell ya.
