Post by: rollin72 on January 31, 2010, 07:49 PM: z-rims for me, i just love 'em, whats a bit mad is when we were kids you scraped off the decals and didnt use pads if you had them you got called to fook, now youve got to have them as your bike just doesnt look right without them, bloody crackers :D

Title: Re: tell me what is your favorite part on ya bike
Post by: ED209 on January 31, 2010, 07:54 PM: the connection of grips, bars, stem, brake levers and cables.

I just know that connection so well - just looking down at that all the time when you ride.

How those things all hang together is my fav. :smitten:

Post by: double chevron on February 01, 2010, 08:49 AM: Gotta be the seat for me, that's just the finishing touch of the bike's silhouette.
I think I always focus on other parts first, mainly wheels, cranks and then THE SEAT !!

I love the look of these bars and was thinking about grabbing a set!

How are you getting on with them? (assuming you have them on ya bike)
