i bought some paul b bars and without measuring at all, i cut them down to 27 inches on the fucking button.
that has nothing to do with anything.
i am thinking of a battlestar galactica inspired frame called the "frakker".
wow, not many comments today. nut yeah, the nathan williams bar thing is pretty freakin stupid. goes to show you that companys really are just following a trend when when a riders own signature bar doesn't even match the specs he rides. god, who starts these stupid trends!? addicted to this blog btw
Hey stephen, wouldn't you have to measure your bars to know that they weren't 27 inches wide in the first place??
Nowhere Fast !!! how long will it take dave parrick to bring out his dvd-box?
a) till the format dvd doesn't exist anymore
b) forever
c) isn't he dead?
d) who is dave parrick? (for the come up-kid)

intro to square one wide awake nightmare
about the nathan williams bars, aaron ross does the same thing, the bars come in 27 or something like that and he cuts them to 26
and i may be wrong but i think scotty cranmer's sig frame (sheriff) comes in only 21 and 20.5 tt sizes but scotty rides a 20. im predicting eddie cleveland will get signature pegs next
Apparently posting at midnight on a Friday does not increase traffic.
*makes note*
people are too busy drinking / hungover to write anything worthwhile... give it a day or so for recovery.
Look Russ a non slammable seat post. This might almost make up for the Strand forks. Haha

sorry its this one http://www.danscomp.com/472121.php?cat=PARTS
I'm not too fussed about bars being wider than the rider's preference. Cut 'em to suit, ya know?

f) until he finds a dodgy enough duplicator to make those dvd's because there's no way he's ever gonna get the music on there cleared.
macneil's had that shit on lock for a while: http://www.danscomp.com/472075.php
nothing wrong with star trek.
Aha, did s&m ever make a "next generation" shirt to go with the frame?
Would that not count as a star trek reference? Feel free to disagree.
I hereby declare the late Friday quiz to be an outright failure.
