after a few months on the stricker, I can safely say I'm in bike zen. To show my appreciation to it, I slapped a gold 710SL chain on it today.
updated bike check
- Thread starter Mr Tiles
- Start date
For serious? That's not fair.
Thanks man!
I have no idea on the crown royal, it could be either (I'll have to measure it). I got it used off bikeguide a while back. it's my favorite stem to date - simple, light and fbm
bars are shadow 13b/big bars. They are slam copies but a few ounces lighter. 27.5" wide, very neutral sweep, 8" rise.
Really like the tire set up I got now BUT I could go a fair amount lighter with KHE park front, street rear which I'm going to do when these wear out.
Yo Cru, it's for realzzz
thats so sweet
I really like it. Green for the money and gold for the honey's.
yep, that's the man...
thx guys, I'm so stoked on it right now.
that's cool mang!
28/10 and profile mini thanks to castle. Really stoked, just shy of 21.5#...looking at getting a mini/7ka for the front in the near future.

and dex,
good suggestions. I'm done though. I got a wheelbuild in the works but it'll prolly be a tad heavier than what's on there now. I like it the way it sets for at least another couple of days...
Maybe crazy... but that issss one sexxy bike. Both of them.. that is.
yeah, I saw that the other day. total sketchfest...just dont get into this territory
thx dwg
nice!! strickers are awesome. In my riding picture thread the gold bike i'm on in the last picture is my stricker.
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhStoked said:
*runs away
wow I thought my bike was light at 26 lbs (although it is a stock complete). what is the biggest upgrade as far as weight savings?
prolly wheels and tires. That new rear wheel I picked up is dang light. The KHEs I got a month or so ago dropped nearly a pound off versus the tires I had!
thats just stupid. worst bar choice ever too. $10 says he never even rides it hahahajust dont get into this territory
deff wheels and tires. im gonna be rocking aitken for a while when i get ym rig, and then prob switching to folding rubens or something. the fit complete is 26 out of the box im prob gonna take a couple pounds off fo it as soon as i egt it anyways hahaha
dang i already have a rhynolite front and city lite rear.
what's the spoke count front and rear?
36 on both.
new front wheel as of Saturday. she's below 21.5 still...totally senseless...
saweet, that thing is looking dialed. once i get my whip weighed ill post up a check.
yeah, that is extremely light! 7ka on front now?
very nice s&m. Cleanliness is next to gnarliness.

this thread is giving me lots of upgrade ideas for my stolen... i really want to pick up one of those fit eccd seats and a lighter post, but i think a new stem to replace the forged stolen one will be a good upgrade too. i think the biggest differences will be in the wheels and cranks, but i'm not going to touch those until i can get more monies.
