    Whether I want them or not.

    First thing:

    Reportedly, the 50 they will make are $3,700

    agreed.
    as if i would even think about paying over 1,000 for a steel frame with some artwork.
    LAME.

    i'm kind of confused by that statement bicycole

    I will never own a 650 wheel as long as I have 700c forks.

    I tend to take a positive approach to life...

    I'm not dissing the bike. If I had the money, I might. But I don't.

    Well the other reason I wouldn't own it is because I would trash the paint job in about three rides.

    Which is probably why they will be built to be shown, not ridden.

    There are cooler things to have on a bike than potato faces. Not to say I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a bike if I had it, I just wouldn't get that particular bike. And a 58 is still too small.

    I will never own an aero spoke or an artist collab bike. And of all the artist collab track bikes this one is trying pretty hard for the gold metal of most fugly against that god awful kidrobot bike.

    I think that bike will be baller as fuck when there's an actual pic of it. I'm a sucker for chromed Cinelli lugs.

    Hm. Step back rethinking it a little.
    So its prolly above competing for most fugly when its built up nice. And I know its hard to represent how good the final product will look when all you have is illustrator. But I think the graphics are pretty lame. Id rather just have one nice Cinelli logo on a nice colored frame. Those illustrations are pretty half baked.

    I'd put down a bet that the next "artist collabo" comes on the HED3.

    I'm going for a LONGshot, but aam gonna say Adidas + mass-market framemaker + NY or SF massmarket "underground" artist

    Well they already did a custom frame, why not a mass market one? Adidas x Bianchi? Get a matching set of Sambas with your Pista?

    I think all the "OG" messengers who hate "fakengers" would just instantly turn into old russian women.

    For what it's worth I would much rather have the cinelli vigorelli.
    I also never want to have an aerospoke.

    • CommentTimeApr 14th 2008 edited
     

    I find this frame:

    to be a lot nicer looking than the Vigorelli for a bit less $$$. It's also really hard to find, really light and stiff, and looks like a fucking Nascar kit with all the logos. Guess that's what powdercoating is for...

    Oh yeah I don't think I'll ever own an Arrospok either.

    There's a lot of shit I'll never own:

    - aerospoke
    - riser bars
    - flat pedals
    - a gear ratio that doesn't let me get up to skyline

    I think what zelah is trying to say is; be careful of how you word things on the internet or in general. Things can be taken out of context. The way you phrased that particular fact made it seem like a having a homosexual father is a negative attribute. The point is, you could piss a lot of people off without meaning to if you aren't careful.

    I was just saying in terms of what Cinelli makes, I'd rather have the Vigorelli. But I agree, that is a very nice looking frame.

    sorry if I pissed you two off, or anyone for that matter. guess joking about peoples dad's sexaulity is not acceptable in these uber-sensitve times.

    I got an e-mail from someone who was truly offended, and that was not my intention. So, you know you are...I'm really sorry.

    Plus there's a british band called Gay Dad and they are suing me for copyright infringement.

    Yo skid do you have any pictures of stuff you've done? I'm thinking some sort of Dragon mural or a wizard... something that belongs on the side of a van but on my bike.
