    If I had the music I could do it. It's not really that hard.

    Yeah, I know. It is just fast, but it is sweet.

    Welcome Brandon, unfortunately due to certain circumstances this is no longer a fixed gear forum it's now a moped repair/networking/rides forum. Thanks for stopping by though. Hope to see you on a moped in the near future.

    Hey man! Want to drive with us? I'm leaving from the Tampa area at the last week of July. I'm shipping a huge box out there with all my shit so I don't have to get a u-haul or anything. Plus taking 2 of my bikes on the roof and what I need for the drive out there. The weather has been real shitty the past week or so and I'm loving this overcast! I can't wait to get out there either! Welcome to the board!

    ok, since i keep coming on here to see if *maybe* someone wanted my chrome bag, i may as well re-intro myself....

    i'm remy. moved here in january, via vegas/pittsburgh/columbus/cleveland. been rolling around town on this thang, and will be for a good long while i'm sure:

    i ride a lot, but mainly to get from place to place, and alone. not a group ride kind of guy usually.

    that being said, i like to party. if you like to dance and drink, i'm your man.

    i do some djing around town... disco and shit like that.

    @ rich: south oakland, lawrenceville, garfield, even a lil squat in the hill up the street from centro del mundo for a while. still got a lot of love for pgh.

    @ marshall & miguelaron: the fork is superhella bent. was way worse before danny kam in vegas broke two vices bending it back for me. i wanna grab a new fork soon, but i'm broke, and looooook at those graphics! how could i replace that fork?!

    btw, don't mix codeine, whiskey and no sleep for days with riding across town. i bent that fork riding v e r y s l o w l y into the back of a parked shuttle bus behind the palms casino. i nearly cried.

    @ jvandub: haven't spun at branx or rotture yet. maybe this summer?

    @ deliciousfuture: REALLY awesome. he, lindstrøm & terje are kinda heroes of mine. i'm all about the scandi beardo cosmic disco stuff. come early and hear me!

    citybikes on 20th has some 80s schwinn decals for sale, like those and maybe in different colors. they're in an envelope near the used shoes. i don't know how much they are.

    also, surly track forks are a very close approximation of those madison forks.

    so, you could probably get a black surly fork and a white schwinn decal and you'd be looking pretty good...
