Great find! It is awesome to see someone else that appreciates vintage non Italian road bikes.

Thanks! I love it. I like italian bikes as well but, their paint is wait to fragile for everyday usage. Maybe one day down the line.

Your transition from high-end street fixies to these old road bikes with low-end components strikes me as strange..
Posted about 12 years ago
What kind of douche bag comment is that? Should it matter what components are on the bike? As long as it gets ridden. The low-end components are all original to the bikes, so I'm in no pressure to change them, they work properly so I ride it.

I think in a low key kind of way he just called you a trendy hipster lol
Posted about 12 years ago
HAHA! I don't think his comment was low-key at all. But, that usually comes from hipsters that live in Greenpoint/Williamsburg area.

"high-end street fixies" haha ohhh do thats what those are called. Alot of people have OG roadies in their collection, I dont see how that is strange. Im a courier in Sacramento,Ca and all the other messengers have "high-end street fixies" but have OG roadie for winter and just to coast everynow and again.

7/8-speed 105 isn't bad at all. I definitely wouldn't call it low-end. Sora and Tiagra are low-end. Also, his transition from having one high-end track bike at a time to having a respectable stable of track and road bikes isn't that strange. C'mon quixoticle, you're better than this.
