Nice ride. I dig the green and gold-ish color combo. Looks to be a ton of fun!
is it just the angle or are your seat and bars at really odd angles? seat nose down and bars rolled back...?
oh yeah, nice ride. i like steel.

brakes??
lthumbsdown:
don't forget the wallet chain and the emo haircut!
at all the 'gosh, yer a fashion victim now fer ridin' that bike' poppycock.
Ah, well you'd know as soon as you saw one! They're super low-end and come with one-piece cranks and the lowest grade brake calipers I've seen outside of K-Mart. I'd tell some one to buy online before grabbing one of those roach's from the LBS.
Have you ridden one for any extensive period of time or is your opinion based on some snobbery douchebaggery elitism?
What, do you have one? Did you even look it up? You probably didn't and are reverse douchebagging.
I'll take that as a no, you've not ridden one and you're being an elitist tool.
intresting. I don't remember you being such cock back in the when.
At any rate, since you seem to only want to hate, here is the lower end SE. Maybe you'll notice certain things like the $280 MSRP, the 1-piece cranks, the shysty wheels and the 27.1 curb weight.

I'm the one being a cock?
I'm the one hating?
For the record, do I think MSRP is overpriced for the Draft or the Lager, yes, but I also think that of most bikes. Grabbing a new SS under $200 for a n00b to SS wanting to try it out is a fantastic deal.
Have I ridden the Draft? No, but everyone I've read about who has actually ridden one has said it's good enough.
Only douche bag elitist trolls seem to have a negative of opinion of it and I've not read about one of them having actually given it a try.
Thank you for running brakes on your fixie. THANK YOU.
There are better values and products out there then bottom-feeder products like those lower rung SE bikes. Look, if you want to put your friends on one of those, go for it. Just make sure to give them a gift certificate when parts start to crap out. You honestly think a used bike isn't a better option? Do you ride on the road at all? In traffic? Dense city traffic at that?
You're being rather aggresive and certainly abrasive and have given no reason to think otherwise. You've certainly called me a 'douchebag elitist snob', an 'elitist tool' and now a 'douche bag elitist troll'.
Holy crap, this is like watching "The View" with Rosie O'donnel and Star Jones. (not taht I know what that's like or anything)
You two francis's should lighten and shut the **** up already. :biggrin:

A. You don't understand the product position (I sure hope you don't sell bikes)... it's for people who want to try SS without breaking the bank or spending a lot of time looking around for used or building something up. Please tell me of a brand new SS for $200?
B. Do I ride road? Since you don't post in the roadie forum, I think you fail.
C. As for being aggressive, it's people like you that scare n00bs away from forums and LBSs. That's a pet-peeve of mine. And "elitist tool" sounds appropriate for you.
Just so we can stop this BS... road and commuting is all I do lately.

You might notice that one of my rides is an SE. No, not the Draft, but I still wouldn't look down my nose at someone who did, unlike you
yes yes, loordopie, you are correct and whatnot. I'm just a silly troll with no reasonable experience at anything other then failing. Oh, and elitism... And probably wearing emo haircuts along with tight pants and other cultural ephemera... You keep doing what yer doing.
No ****. But I guarantee no episode of the View ever ended in Rosie and Star munching muff publicly.

One of the best derailments in the history of...today. Good stuff.
It's true that fixies are cool. But that shouldn't stop you from riding one.

Unless you are one of the many hipster douchebags who only ride cuz it is the cool thing to do even though you can't handle a fixie. (milwaukee is loaded with this choads)
I like to race unassuming victims, that way I always win.
Dude I live in SF, it's like ground zero for lame-ass fixie posers. We have steep hills here - it's great watching choads walk up AND down the hills with their fashion accessory.
I've been riding a fixie for like 15 years or something so I think the whole thing is hilarious. But it does kind of bug me that some people have decided they don't want to try for fear of being labled a hipster. Ride what you want and screw what other people think.
You confuse me.
LOL@this thread. Fixed geared bikes are serious business.
thus I run a front brake! An Avid BB7 at that!
