Post your /fa/ bikes.
I just bought this 1988 Schwinn Sierra for $30, can't wait to ride it around campus.
that's honestly no better than a shitty walmart bike that has been fucked up for 30 years
>it hurts to live: the bike
is my bike /fa/?
>>11459062
it's better than that horrible schwinn with the wrong size wheels and the quick release lever that is about to pop off, although the bent out of shape bottle cage, the dork disk, and the CPSC "kill me" reflectors are triggering me
also I just noticed the schrader valves, so yeah, hurts to live tier
Now without reflectors, bike chain cover, and pannier.

>>11459089

>>11459047

>>11459138

>>11459143
>cleans teeth professionally

Heading to Europe soon to pick up this beauty.
>>11459117
Huh I think I saw a model just like that in a store today and was giving it lusty eyes.
>>11459833
Can you raise the handlebar or do you have to look like an asshat while riding?
>>11459794
You're just poor you can't afford an expensive carbon bike and stick with ur steel fixies lmao
not the biggest beauty but perfect for the city
>>11460645
Some people like steel frames. I find carbon bikes a bit too light. However, single speed/fixies can suck a dick for anything but track racing.
>>11460686
>>11459062
very nice bikes
Here's mine 1974 Raleigh International
>>11459047
that's a 0/10 bike man
>>11460791
>two water bottles
u thirsty or something man?
>>11460810
This is not my usual commuter. I only use it for long rides.
it's meme-y, but beats walking everywhere. Selling it to get a Cinelli, though.
>>11460802
fucking precisely.
No one is going to steal it.
Not mine but fa
>>11460637
youre too slow for me kid
>>11460856
You got breaks on the front AND back like a faggot. you ruined that wheel set with those btw. What's the point of those straps if youre not using them to slow down... Fuckboi
And nice crank set you probably dont even reach 15 mph on that shit
>>11460637
aero tuck is one of the most effay positions senpai
>>11463004
my butthole puckered when I saw the crankset, but aren't those machined sidewalls on the wheel set??
>>11463028
>machined sidewalls
Regardless its a waste of elipses. and that handle bar too this whole bike deserves to be given to someone that knows what theyre doing to save these decent pieces from being garbage
>>11460791
I have an 80s Raleigh that looks similar. The steel frame makes my dick hard
>>11463023
Fuck off /n/igger.
>>11463041
>this whole bike deserves to be given to someone that knows what theyre doing to save these decent pieces from being garbage
I used to work with a guy that had a fixie that he claimed ran him over 2k. My buddy could out-pace him on his beat up nishiki dumpster bike. We had a hearty chuckle, and suggested they trade bikes to put all his carbon parts to better use. He was so god damned salty for months, it felt great to rub it in.
The only 'bike' I own
>>11463113
honestly, there are a lot of people like that, and it's a large part of the reason as to why people hate fixed riders
>>11463132
Oh, I know, this is just one of the only times I got to see one shamed so hard. I've worked with/known a handful of fixie riders and they were all douchebags. I used to just think it was all generalizing, which I guess it still is, but I have yet to get to know one who wasn't a prick about their bike. At least one or two of them could hustle on it.
>>11463155
confirmation bias.
you know a lot of people who ride fixies that are perfectly normal. you're just unaware that they ride fixies because they don't go around showing off their black-ink tattoos of bike cogs with handlebar mustaches whilst yelling "I RIDE A FIXED FUCKING GEAR BIKE M8."
it's called a silent majority and it exists in almost every subculture/interest/activity.
>>11463113
IDK if you know him but Austin Horse was doing a group ride and he was dusting kids on a beach cruiser. Some people just know how to spin really well.
>>11463357
I'm not passing any judgement on people I barely know, like Facebook friends I met at a party once. I'm only referring to people I've actually spent any amount of time with, like coworkers or former classmates. And when you commute 32km daily for work, it's not like I don't know who else rides a bike, regardless of "skill" or type.
>>11463387
Not a clue, but that's pretty great. If he's a professional bike courier I would hope he could ride anything fairly well.
>>11463575
Look up naccc 2016 that's Austin horse
>>11463387
>austin horse on a beach cruiser
is this on the internet anywhere
fixies exist to let people know you care more about looking fashionable while cycling than actually cycling
>>11460645
You're right I don't ride carbon because I don't have a 7 figure trust and actually race. Here's my track bike sans-saddle, and some of the parts for a critical build. Hoping to get it <6.8kg eventually
It's me dad's bike but I use it from times to times. Mostly when I cant longboard
>>11463123
POO IN LOO
>>11464202
Le ebin /pol/ meme. Go back to your containment board, and cop some cargo pants on the way home
>>11459047
If you knew about bikes, you would know thats not fa or worth buying. level your seat you spac
>>11464497
Skinny poorfag detected.
>>11459089

>>11459117

>>11459143
Not fa, but real nice
>>11459833
No your not lol, unless you are a professional track cyclist.
>>11460686
Frame too big
>>11460791
steel=real
>>11460856
found the retard. Take the cage off, take the brakes off, take the bell off. You look like an idiot to anyone that knows jack about bikes
>>11460686
wtf that seat height
how short are you
>>11464129
don't be silly anon
fiixies exist because muh hectic skids are fun and because they require half the maintenance
>>11464103
Nah we were already trying our best just to keep up
>>11460856
a waste of frame and components
>>11464998
damn, that's a shame no one caught it on tape. I always wondered how skilled fixed riders would fare on other bikes
>>11465026
Austins a bit more than just a fixie fool. >>11464522
it's only $2k for the Look frame. It just came out and it's a mid tier track bike that i'll use for racing allycats
