i see the cheap, where’s the bling?
February 23rd, 2010 @5:30 pm
I put that as a joke dummy!!! Wow! Ur stupid! Ha!
February 23rd, 2010 @6:48 pm
wes is a hater!!!keep your negative comments to yourself
February 23rd, 2010 @11:49 pm
I think he means the paint and bartape. Well, it’s gimmick bling of some sort.
February 25th, 2010 @6:13 pm
whats up w/ these one piece cranks (se too)
February 25th, 2010 @6:51 pm
Whats up with it???? It does the job!!! LOL
February 25th, 2010 @9:53 pm
I’ll put up my Huffy after conversion. I got it free. One piece steel crank and heavy as a 3 speed with Shimano hub. 70’s and tacky with decals and mud colored saddle. I almost stripped it for parts but rode it as a 3 speed and was surprised how much I liked the ride. long wheelbase/solid feel. Thanks we need more bikes on the cheap built with scraps and humor for the fun of it.
February 25th, 2010 @10:45 pm
yeah…one piece cranks do the job for low speed, low quality single speeds, but they weren’t made for track quality, high stress fixed gear riding. you’d think this concept would be pretty apparent, but that’s newbies for ya.
February 25th, 2010 @11:10 pm
one piece cranks are dope!!!LUFTMENSH mind your biz and worry about yourself!!
February 26th, 2010 @7:27 am
I have never ridden on a track. Maybe someday. Has any one broken a one piece crank. The one on my daughter’s converted 18 speed with its three chainwheels weighed a lot. I should weigh it compare to the 3 piece crank sets. Lots of steel, good for a weapon as likely to break as a tire iron for a 59 Buick. Thanks Ed with cranks of steel but legs of mud.
February 26th, 2010 @11:52 am
Leftnut! I meant to say: luftmensh…. Obviously this is a cheap build! You moron! I only stated on my header “cheap”… I don’t want to race now nor it’s in my future. This is all for fun and ride around the city!
February 26th, 2010 @1:21 pm
Yes, thanks for stating the obvious, it’s cheap. As long as you’re cruising it should be fine, but I have a tendency to push the limits of whatever I’m riding, and while I may intend to use a cruiser as it was made for, eventually I’ll want to feel a breeze and top that cruiser out just for the experience. Im just paranoid about conversions and repurposing things for purposes they weren’t designed for. But if you feel comfortable with it, then more power to you. Cheers
February 26th, 2010 @2:01 pm
Unless you are the Six Million Dollar man with super bionic legs I doubt you could break a one piece crank any easier than shearing off the pins of my Cottered cranks on the 70’s Raleigh. Thanks and you push the limits on more than just your fixie Herr Luftmensh !
February 26th, 2010 @2:03 pm
Gabriel and I can build one cheaper and with less Bling. ! Get me my Rattle Can and Quick.
February 26th, 2010 @6:01 pm
It’s yiddish, WSB, not German. I’m American anyway, and do have super bionic legs designed specifically to destroy one piece cranks.
Maybe it was just a fluke but the cottered crank I had on my peugeot was falling apart. Yes, I realize this isn’t a one piece crank, but if a cottered crank can fall apart then a one piece certainly can too.
February 26th, 2010 @7:02 pm
I had a 60’s 20 inch tire Austrian Puch bike with cottered cranks that were slipping so that they were not 180 degrees opposed. removed and retightened and they are now OK. All steel is not equal. I have some old pliers from New Haven Connecticut super quality and 45 years old and new stuff is occasionally junk from US or China etc. Thanks Ironman !
February 27th, 2010 @6:58 am
Ironman!!! Haha.. That’s funny!!!!
February 27th, 2010 @8:45 am
No, sorry this isn’t working for me. Its trying to be something its not but not trying hard enough. I’d like to see his next bike.
February 28th, 2010 @6:56 am
This place is full of haters!!! You can lick my balls fags!!!
February 28th, 2010 @9:38 am
You don’t really want us to lick your balls. Do you? That was a joke right? Is the bike a joke? Are you a joke? Look, everyone here appreciates the heroics and poetics of creating a simple, single or fixed-gear bike. Especially when there is minimum cash and maximum elbow grease involved. So, bravo and hats off to you. Your attempt at restoring something that was destine for the trash heap is very heroic. The problem is your poetry. Yes, a very subjective thing and consensus is an illusion. Those stars at the top of each bike’s picture are a misnomer. Still, I got some great advice right here, that I initially resented but later was able understand and it made my next bike that much better. I’m learning.
On the other hand… if this is all a big ploy to get us to lick your balls… let the healing begin!
February 28th, 2010 @11:42 am
Does your BB have loose Balls? My cheap and strong one piece crank had caged balls on a 93 Specialized girl’s (daughter) 18 speed. Your wheels don’t look cheap. Grease your balls don’t lick them. Thanks
February 28th, 2010 @11:54 am
Snipertoe, Don’t take it so hard. Clearly this site is all about critiquing bikes. Just like art…what one person loves, the next may not. There’s no right or wrong…just different tastes.
February 28th, 2010 @11:56 am
Ok well this is kinda wrong…http://www.myfixedgear.net/gamma-proto

March 2nd, 2010 @2:45 am
i recognize that window eric is this your crews little hideout? riding around the chi w/ your bandanas on. sike do your thing. just maybe worry a little less about colorways and more on the quality of your parts (it’s machine not a pair of dunks). and not that you need $200 cranks we all see idiots everyday w/ flash bikes that can’t ride, but i think a decent crank is more important than a color matching chain.
March 2nd, 2010 @5:08 am
Dude, how about u skip licking my nuts and go straight to my rod? Fag! Get a life dude! We don’t care what u think old man.. Piss off!
March 2nd, 2010 @6:16 am
One fag after another. Maybe rename the site?
March 2nd, 2010 @9:20 am
this is too much dude!!so many haters, this is crazy!!
March 2nd, 2010 @11:51 am
They all sniff each others brown eye!! Haha.. I just love to mess with these morons!!
March 2nd, 2010 @1:49 pm
shall we all just chill and get back to fixies?
March 2nd, 2010 @2:44 pm
By Gosh I just recognized that fine Attic. Fine work from the Upper Level. Have you ridden Critical Mass (Friday ?) Thanks
March 2nd, 2010 @4:18 pm
I agree with sloman!!
March 3rd, 2010 @4:27 am
Yes, Sloman! enough with the paranoid, homo-bashing and the ball licking non-sense –lets get back to trashing this guys bike. Now… where were we?
March 3rd, 2010 @5:14 am
U lame fawks keep on going with these lame ass comebacks… Jqnyc, u must be one of those NYC dirty rats!!!! Lol. Peace!!
March 3rd, 2010 @7:37 am
eric and sniper are so upset. you guys are probably stomping around the attic crying into your bandanas & coming up w/ these corny posts. i’ll give you this your spellig is getting better. don’t be mad i made you famous no one would have been posting or even looking @ those eyesores if it was’nt for me. btw you two are clealy obsessed with gay sex, it’s called “repression” when you hide your true self. come out of the closet (or attic) maybe then you guys won’t be so angry.
March 3rd, 2010 @7:49 am
bad spelling must be as contagious as swine flu, i’ve been infected.

Its official…..I’m in HELL.
March 3rd, 2010 @10:51 am
Wow. You guys need anger management. Seriously though, let’s focus on the bikes.
March 3rd, 2010 @11:43 am
most of these dudes are crazy, they worry about what others think its too Damn funny! these faggots are followers..do what you want with your bikes and don’t worry bout what other will say or think…I can care less bout what anyone says. like I said before I do Shit to my bike for me not for anyone else! holla…im gonna go cry in my attic now and where a bandana!! freakin moron!! lmao
March 3rd, 2010 @1:01 pm
is it possible for you to post w/o calling someone a fag. you are obviously a repressed homosexual. lol ng i hate when white dudes try and sound thug.
March 3rd, 2010 @1:03 pm
hahaha what a fag!!
March 3rd, 2010 @1:09 pm
eric and snipertoe need to work out a new ride with one piece crank hopefully, how about a Tandem ?
March 3rd, 2010 @1:11 pm
O.k.then! I’ll use: faggots!!! Lol
March 3rd, 2010 @1:11 pm
really, eric that was just sad.
March 3rd, 2010 @1:14 pm
shut the hell up you faggot!!!!!hahaha
March 3rd, 2010 @1:18 pm
eric i was going to wait until you actually said something funny to expose you but, that was just too stupid. it’s pretty obvious that you are snipertoe. i mean i could see one bike that ugly but for you to find someone else with such bad taste that’s willing to hang out in that nasty attic. in the words on ed luva c’mon son!
March 3rd, 2010 @1:22 pm
Wooden, that’s a great idea. A tandem would be perfect for this lovely couple.
March 3rd, 2010 @1:24 pm
what does ng stand for???nut grabber!!
March 3rd, 2010 @1:25 pm
The fag keeps crying!!!!
March 3rd, 2010 @1:26 pm
Damn your dumb, again why would I have 2 accounts?!?!?
March 3rd, 2010 @1:28 pm
because you want us all to think you have a friend. it’s very common amongst nerds.
March 3rd, 2010 @1:32 pm
Congratulations gentlemen. You two are well on your way to top spots in the “Most Comments” section of a website that’s viewed around the world. You are representing yourselves very nicely. MFG is going to need to make a new section for “Biggest Clowns”.
March 3rd, 2010 @1:44 pm
Oh…It’s the same guy? That IS sad. Dude, you really need to get out of that attic. You’re losing it. If this is two guys…maybe you should take turns leaving. One of you at a time would be bad enough out in public as it is.
March 3rd, 2010 @1:49 pm
it’s the same guy notice how he just disappeared he probably burned out his keyboard with tears.
March 3rd, 2010 @1:57 pm
Eric/Snipertoe, We understand you are going through a hard time. Don’t worry. Everything will be ok. There are all kinds of support groups out there. But PLEASE, on your way to the liquor store don’t kick any dogs or frighten any children. They don’t deserve it.
March 3rd, 2010 @2:03 pm
Ok faggots!!!! Haha…. Get the fawk out of my post!!! Bye!
March 3rd, 2010 @2:22 pm
Do the hosts have the ability to revoke account priileges? If so I think I have a candidate I’d like to nominate. This is just plain embarassing.
March 3rd, 2010 @2:35 pm
ok eric/snipertoe say sorry and i will leave you alone.
March 3rd, 2010 @2:38 pm
I’m sure you’re going to nominate you’re self! Right? “STOP POSTING” in my picture thread…. Thanks!
March 3rd, 2010 @2:41 pm
it’s “yourself” i already gave you that english lesson
March 3rd, 2010 @4:25 pm
Bevis and ButtHead !
March 3rd, 2010 @4:41 pm
I can’t believe you think im the other guy too lmao that’s funny.
March 14th, 2010 @8:08 pm
This bike still sucks. I miss all the commotion. Can we get back to business? Maybe this (a hem) mechanic/artist could build another bike? Maybe the next one could be a winner. Everyone loves a comeback story. Or, another disaster. Either way… I know. Maybe I could lick his balls. In the meantime; why did he make the fork 2-tone? That crank! …easily the sorriest crank on the site. Glue factory reject. Come on, we’re two places from number-one, most comments.
March 14th, 2010 @8:24 pm
I had some really good laughs over this…I miss the fun too. Are you “two” still up there in the attic? C’mon…I need someone to tell us to fawk off.
March 14th, 2010 @8:42 pm
My wife told me to Fawk off yesterday, does that count? It is all my fault of course. No wonder I like bikes so much you can ride them whenever you want. Hope to get back in the saddle soon. Soon Come as they say in Jamaica.
March 14th, 2010 @8:46 pm
LOL!
March 15th, 2010 @5:34 am
The reason that one piece cranks aren’t great for fixed gear bikes (at least in my theorizing) is because of how they’re attached. If you put a square tapered or newer 3 piece crank set on your fixed gear, when you back pedal or *cringe* skid, you’re pushing back against the taper. When you put a one piece crank set on a fixed gear and you back pedal or *cringe* skid, you are pushing against a threaded on chain wheel and its lock ring. If your lock ring is weak, rusted out, not on tight enough, or your threads are weak, your way more likely to break or unthread the lock ring and have your chain wheel unthread right when you need it to be there the most. If you don’t have a brake and actually rely on *cringe* skidding to stop, then you’re really in trouble. If you’re going to rely on something holding under the pressure of your body weight, gravity, and deceleration force, its probably good not to have it be a thread holding it back. Like I said, that’s just from my own theorizing, but it makes sense enough that I’m not going to attempt a one piece crank on a fixed gear bike. Also, what’s a fawk? Is that some harry potter reference or something?
March 15th, 2010 @10:14 am
CS, I had never heard of “fawk” either. But not long ago we were all fortunate enough to be exposed to some of the worst abuse in keyboard history. According to evidence in select posts above “fawk” is “wanna be tough guy gangster of some kind” for a common, popular four letter word.
March 15th, 2010 @10:22 am
So that’s what fawk means? That’s pretty fucked up.
March 15th, 2010 @10:24 am
Thanks cs for the theory. Also of course this applies to the lockring of the cog on the wheel popping off the threads. But with the square tapered BB it is also screwed together. I put a cog without lockring on a recycled cassette converted wheel and have yet to loosen the cog but I do NOT skid steer or lock up the rear wheel. When I first removed a 10 speed cassette using a vise and the proper removal tool it was a test of man and machine I thought maybe the rim would go egg shape with the force but it popped finally and tested the hernia you could say. Most conversion of course are with cottered crank or some other 3 piece arrangement unless it is a real Woolworth’s type bike. I need a FR 4 removal tool next for an Atom (French) cassette removal off a Raleigh with Sturmey archer rims. Hard to figure the combo. hopefully it is standard 1.37 inch thread cog once I get it off. Thanks.
March 15th, 2010 @10:31 am
Correct, I use it plentifully in heated speech and it has never failed to make me look stupid and out of control. But we all have a fuse which varies in combustibility. To write it out electronically may trip me up down the line. I need a 10 second time delay between the tongue and the brain, maybe it would save my 2nd marriage. Thanks
March 15th, 2010 @11:10 am
Good points WSB. I see your points about the cog and lock ring on the wheel. I’d still think that you’d be at more risk with a one piece BB as opposed to a square taper though, the difference being that on the one piece the lock ring is holding the chainring on and keeping it from going backwards, whereas on a square taper its just holding the crank arm in and the shape of the taper is keeping it from going backwards. If you don’t have a lock ring on a square taper and you back pedal, you’re still going to stop (until some time your crank arm comes off), but if you backpedal on a one piece without a lockring its going to unscrew the chainring. The double duty on the lock ring on a one piece is what I’d worry about. I think where it may be different on the back cog would be that the force isn’t being applied directly to the cog, its just being transfered through the chain and (I would think) would lose some of its force because of chain flex. You could be right though, I don’t know. I know they get tight on there, but I work with mostly old vintage bikes and I don’t know that I’d trust a cog to seat fully on those old threads without a lock ring. For me its a ‘rather put a lock ring on and never have to worry about it vs not putting one on, trusting that the cog is going to hold and then risk being ‘fawked’ if it doesn’t’ situation. I think not skidding makes a big difference too, its just that much extra force that’s not going to cause something to give eventually, also you don’t have to buy new tires as frequently.
March 15th, 2010 @2:30 pm
Thanks again cs. I now visualize the one piece. I was thinking the front chainwheel possibly machined as one piece onto the crank arms as are some 3 piece like my old Raleigh 70’s vintage. Also the increased lever arm action up front would make a difference as to unscrewing the lockring. Equal force by chain but a longer lever arm. (long time since Physics class) . On my cassette removal of the 10 speed there was no room for a lockring after screwing on the cog. Not a track hub with the smaller left hd. thread and smaller diameter. So far OK . Thanks.
March 15th, 2010 @3:00 pm
Well its all just theory, I don’t really know if that’s an issue for a fact, just throwing it out there as an idea.
Also, I don’t know why i was thinking track cog with lock ring on your ten speed (sometimes I read comments too fast). Yeah if its a freewheel and not a fixed set you’d be ok without a lock ring or lock cog since you wouldn’t be able to backpedal anyway. The first time I removed a freewheel at our shop with the vice and removal tool thought it was rusted solid because of how much force I was trying to put on it, even with the leverage you get from turning the wheel at the rim. One of the other guys came over and yanked it and it spun off fine. That’s when I realized sometimes you don’t need to treat all bike parts with kid gloves.
Do you live anywhere near St. Louis? We have a wall full of freewheel removal tools. I don’t know if we have an atom tool, but if anyone has one in the city it would be us.
March 15th, 2010 @3:16 pm
Thanks, actually I did put a fixed cog on the conversion. Still not enough thread to follow up with a 1.37 inch second ring of same diameter as cog. I am near Chicago. A Parks FR 4 is only 8 bucks but my friendly LBS can help me out as he has before and sell me the fixed cog as well. He and I drink the same sort of Beers. Cheers !
March 15th, 2010 @3:54 pm
how about another reason buella cranks don’t belong on a serious bike?the are mostly crap metals with little strength.strong enough for department store cruisers and kids bikes but i’ve had them bend changing out pedals or wacking curbs or kids jumping over things.the forces involved on a fixed gear(mostly hard cranking)are significant.Lock up braking is limited to available traction at the rear tire.but hammering up a hill puts quite a strain on the works,hence big chain,hardened gears ect.buellas have a place but fixed ain’t it.
March 15th, 2010 @5:19 pm
has CS seen the Leader 735TR? i bet he would just love that bike.
March 15th, 2010 @8:05 pm
Sloman , I agree the Ashtabula cranks (one piece of sh..) are inferior castings of old pot metal mostly Schlitz beer cans and an occasional bottle cap. I lust after the Campagnola stuff, nice castings and design but someone will put me down for being Huffy or whatever. (can’t afford the Campy stuff anyway and hard to spell) thanks and keep on cranking.
March 16th, 2010 @4:36 am
wooden,as i said they are fine for what they are and i’m hunting a huffy “tonner”,the rustier the better.for beach season.enjoy
March 16th, 2010 @5:33 am
Thank you Snipertoe. You cheap but Bling pile of excrement now has THE most comments. Please make another bike. Your very popular!
March 16th, 2010 @7:22 am
Sloman, I will look around here, Spring clean up is coming in the Rust Belt. Must beat the scrap collector to the 2 cents per pound steel wondercycles. I think I spotted eric and Snipertoe last week!
March 16th, 2010 @1:11 pm
What the “fawk” I’m popular!!! Yes….I stop coming here because this site is full of shit
and there is allot of lame people here… Peace out!!! “FAWK” heads….Hahaha…
March 16th, 2010 @2:45 pm
^ That was perfect. Thanks Sniperictoe.
March 16th, 2010 @4:24 pm
*sniff* wait! Don’t go away mad!! We’re not done. Tell us about your next project bike. BUILD ANOTHER FAWKING BICYCLE. We want!
March 16th, 2010 @4:54 pm
Yeah!! I post pics and in the back round I’ll be “fawking” you’re girl….haha.. D-bag!!!
March 16th, 2010 @5:14 pm
Damn!!! Then I’ll have most views, most rated, & most comments… Guys! My Next build will have jqnyc girlfriend naked… This should be good! Let’s hear what u have to say now.. Or is you’re boyfriend “ng” going to back you up?!?!?… This is toooo much fun!!! Peace… P.s.please ban me from this site because this is not going to stop.. Haha
March 16th, 2010 @5:52 pm
You’re all noise! Dude, build a better bicycle! Seriously, we all know you can do it. All this low-class guttersnipe. Get to work. This bike sucks. Admit it, admit your a weak-ass pussy and move along or, better still, show us what you’re really made of and blow us all away with… A GREAT BIKE! Name the bike anything you damn please… we are all secretly rooting for you but in the meantime –your coming off sullen and angry. Step it up motherfawker! Bring it.
March 16th, 2010 @6:06 pm
Haha… Someone is mad?!?!?…if you don’t like to cook then get the “fawk” out of the kitchen pussy!!! Peace….
March 16th, 2010 @6:10 pm
Matter of fact….I left this alone like two weeks ago but Nooo you & you’re boyfriend NG came back to talk shit… Let’s get back to what this site is all about which is “BIKES”…
March 16th, 2010 @6:17 pm
Is JQNYC a Taxi Driver or a wrestler, he does like a good fight. I will not be on here for a while as I am going to polish an old one piece Crank off my Huffster and it may take 12 weeks with my trusty dremel and polishing compound. Thanks.
March 16th, 2010 @7:21 pm
SnipERICtoe, There’s a big difference between YOUR and YOU’RE. I thought Spokely already gave you a grammar lesson. It’s not that complicated. You should look into it. Oh and you probably should look into the whole homosexual projection/repression thing too. It seems to be having an affect on your ability to express yourself intelligently. Thanks again for the laughs.
March 16th, 2010 @7:24 pm
NG, Cool!
March 16th, 2010 @8:49 pm
snipERICtoe, heh heh
March 16th, 2010 @8:50 pm
im sorry to interrupt your fawking conversation, but on March 3, eric/sniper posted 3 comments, each 1 minute away from the next. coincidence?
March 16th, 2010 @9:15 pm
jqnyc brought the noise. snipERICtoe has obviously lost all his will to fight. suggestion i like to listen to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (Raekwon) or The Infamous (Mobb Deep) when i cyber beef.
March 17th, 2010 @2:19 am
snipERICtoe,
Your bicycle is a beautiful work of art. An expression of not only form, as an aesthetic statement of color and shape, but function as mechanical mastery, utilizing the simple parts of the humble two-wheeler. We are all deeply impressed with the clever use of an old frame that most would consider a poor choice and bravely attach parts that some might call dangerously inadequate. We should all reflect on the shear nerve involved in posting this masterful expression of the art of the fixed gear.
Together, with some courageous and unusual color selections, you’ve taken Cheap but Bling! to an unexpected place that some might call foolish and ugly. But, on closer examination we see its all a carefully planned strategy to induce humor through a series of overwrought, misunderstood responses to the flurry of inevitable comments that this bold and fearless two-wheeled tour de force inspires. I think we all need to form a line, get on our knees and take turns licking snipERICtoe’s balls in deep gratitude for this wonderful posting.
March 17th, 2010 @5:29 am
Excellent jqnyc, not sure if your comments belong in a fine book of literature or the bathroom stall. Very moving non the less.
March 17th, 2010 @5:32 am
JQNYC for Toastmaster. But you can drop to your knees while I run for the Exit or my camera. Thanks Professor Hot Rod !
March 17th, 2010 @10:43 am
OMG you guys are hilarious!!
Snipertoe - What a lovely orange, white and blue bicycle. It reminds me of a delicious creamsicle. Oh joy! And that terrific saddle and seatpost… it just screams at me to ride it. Maybe I can use the flailing front break cable to strap myself down because heaven knows I’ll need it on this wild ride.
The problem with this site is a lack of Estrogen
March 17th, 2010 @11:01 am
(bells, whistles, sirens and confetti) CONGRATULATIONS…. AMY!!!!!!! You’re the 100th comment on this fine example of a bicycle…You have helped secure this entry as the “most commented” on MFG. Tell her what she’s won Johnny!!……(Johnny) Amy, in keeping with the level of quality, craftsmanship and vision of this amazing bicycle, your prize is…..(drum roll)…….an inner tube!!!!!!
March 17th, 2010 @5:06 pm
Welcome back Amy. So fine your comment was and especially for the 100 th. Thanks
March 17th, 2010 @7:20 pm
Can I renew the request? Snipertoe… Sir Snipertoe! Mr. Snipertoe… Dr. Snipertoe… Eric or whatever your name is. You have the capacity of a genius. Don’t let the fowl odor of pot-shots into the fish barrel prevent you from trying again. Please build another bike. Trust me; build a proper bike and watch us all fall in love. Enough with the name calling and snide threats. Enough with the fawks and the ball-licking and the “I’ll fuck your girlfriend” comments (gay). We need a new bike to create a new context. I can feel the warm embrace already (not gay). As the Reverend Rodney King once said: Can’t we all just get along? Remember Lois Armstrong… they laughed at him too… then he walked on the moon. Show us what you got buddy! You have fans!
March 17th, 2010 @10:05 pm
jqnyc that was neil armstrong but good sentiment.

@Sniperclone: Genius!
March 27th, 2010 @4:17 pm
Look what I missed! Sorry I was gone so long. I was in a Turkish prison, but then again so was I.
March 27th, 2010 @5:44 pm
You still suck.
March 27th, 2010 @5:57 pm
Dare to dream! Are we going for 200 comments? What frame is this? Sears? or Huffy? Back-stays welded all the way up to the top tube. Just in case the cheap ass metal fatigues. What is that budget seat post style that bolts together from three parts called? Very “my little pony” Are the two of them going to build another bike? Waiting.
April 3rd, 2010 @10:15 pm
Wow first off, sniper whatever the fuck the two of your profile names are, you dont get to the point with your insults. You only bring up dick references, kinda weird I will admit, for someone who seems so against anything gay. Why would “ng” stand for “nut grabber”? You make no sense whatsoever. Honestly ride this piece of shit anywhere you want, I would be embarrased because quite frankly it is awful. If you can’t afford to put enough money into it, that is totally understandable, but don’t go about being defensive and attack other people verbally, and expect people to stop commenting. Get a life, along with everyone who is commenting on this constantly. If the people who are arguing stopped arguing, sniperwhatever would stop commenting. I agree with people who say this site has turned into a blog chatroom-like site, just comment, say what you want, and move on. I mean no offense to anyone I am sure you all have fixies you all enjoy like sniperwhatever does, just don’t take criticism so personally. Just enjoy the sport for what it is, a non competitive fun sport. The more people argue and shit, the more it turns into a competitive sport like football where you have to please other people to play. Just enjoy the fun and ride your bike like it is another part of your body.

I have tears running down my face. This has been such a joy to read. It really is a shit looking bike. No getting away from that. But if it rides, and the “boyz” enjoy it then who are we to argue. Fixed is partly about the way it makes you feel. It isn’t like riding any other kind of bike. Your awarenes of what is going on increases. I learnt my lesson the hard way when I was23. 5 mins on my 1st fixie, 2 seconds loss of concentration, then 2 hrs in casualty.Took a month to get my left elbow to go straight after the plaster came off. Fun,fun,fun! Just for the record. I have an old Claud Buttler girls atb frame that I’ve thrown some old bits on. I’ll stick a pick or two on later today so everyone can have a laugh. I may even write a parts spec to spotlight the horrors that have been lurking in my garrage, waiting for thier chance to join forces in a two wheeled amalgum of sin.
Cheers all(even the Boyz who would be men)
April 11th, 2010 @9:21 am
Will the “two” of them PLEASE build another bike? Please… No offense Alan and by all means post a shit-ride but I can’t see how you could possibly come up with anything worse than this. Sometimes people post joke bikes… but most of the time the joke falls flat. These “two” are masters of insanity. I would tread carefully into the arena of cream-puffed, turd-cycles. You are dealing with a “couple” of steely-eyed ninja velo-monsters. Think Rusell Crowe from A BEAUTIFUL MIND.
April 11th, 2010 @10:33 am
61 votes and 118 comments. This bike is a winner ! I still like the wheels on this beauty. And the one piece crank is the nicest one piece crank on this site. It should still rate higher than a White out Raleigh Record from the Rustoleum Dept.
April 20th, 2010 @7:27 pm
How true. some of the bikes here are trying really hard and don’t work. At least for me. Especially the ones that focus on bright, 2-color contrast. No, not as a rule. Sometimes it works great but when its off -I feel like the color choice takes control; not an amalgam of parts and frame. Some of the bikes here dont try at all and deserve poor ratings (White out Raleigh). I hate the close ones. The nice frame with the wrong bars etc. Sometimes its just the set-up. The seat angle or the bike looks like it would only fit Big Foot. Then their are the bikes that are just wrong (or right) and its not always easy to pinpoint (THATS WHY WE POST!) Joke bikes? Not counting them. This bike here is rare indeed. Bravo to you but I wont sniff your brown eye. Look at what this “project” has inspired. I just re-read the posts from top to bottom. Wow! what a ride. Please post another bike.
April 20th, 2010 @8:10 pm
I have not actually commented on this bike. I do like the one-piece as well. I would rather it be chromed. That orange is just flat out UNGOOD.
April 20th, 2010 @8:48 pm
But the crank may have been Black and doubly ungood. Or maybe it had the Toys R Us logo in lavender.
April 24th, 2010 @5:47 pm
Snipertoe… where are you?
April 24th, 2010 @7:23 pm
Someone sniped his toe.
April 24th, 2010 @11:38 pm
or possibly someone toe’d his snipe.
April 25th, 2010 @1:08 pm
I think he bought a Harley.
April 27th, 2010 @2:39 pm
Nah , you need yo be older to ride a real bike. Besides how would he pass his test when he can’t read or write for shit?
Oh, sorry. Was that a bit harsh? I don’t care. After reading Eric+Cameltoes comments they seem like foul mouthed, know nothing turds to me. This is the most time I can be bothered to give them. And even now they are not getting the FULL attention. Which I know they crave.
April 28th, 2010 @12:35 am
i realize the irony in this post, but can we please stop posting about this pos.
April 28th, 2010 @7:11 pm
Absolutely, lets stop posting about this pile of crap bicycle and the hugely entertaining cavalcade of crazy-ass comments. The fascinating way everyone, while posting, tried to couch their language …only to fall prey to the madness induced by Cheap but Bling!!! Yes, by all means lets stop wasting our time on this post and move on to wasting our time on some other post.
April 28th, 2010 @8:39 pm
my last post on this POS
April 28th, 2010 @9:19 pm
Don’t you ever read a book Twice ? I still say it’s better than some. Nice wheels even if they fight each other colorwise. The chainwheel was removed from the crank before painting. The brake is on a machined rim and it has wrapped drops. Luftie you love the Ashtabula crank, admit it. And how often do you see an orange brake cable? got love it.
April 29th, 2010 @4:16 am
yealeftnut dont you and you’re boyfriend ng ever read a book twice? who laff now faggot!!!! soon all you homos will have orange brake cables.
April 29th, 2010 @5:45 am
Yah, fur shure, I done ordered 3 orange Cabbbles . I like to stopps in styylll. Maaybee next un toppp tube Rappper.
April 29th, 2010 @7:42 am
Dats nuffin. I got denim on my bike. Hah! Iz wykid mon.Clashes well with my pink sox. He,he,he.
April 29th, 2010 @7:44 am
Oh and I’ve still got a job. Seems I missed some pertinant training so they had no grounds to dissmiss. SO glad that I’m an untrained and unskilled dodo.
April 29th, 2010 @10:27 am
:You mean they did not show you which way to turn the key to turn the beast off? Leave the key in the ignition that’s cool too. Pettifoggery that boss of yours.
April 29th, 2010 @2:47 pm
As I said to the manager taking the meeting today. I’ve got two words for my manager and he can count himself lucky to get that out of me.
April 30th, 2010 @11:32 am
and does the first word start with an F as in Flinty ?
May 31st, 2010 @10:22 am
Wait a minute. Did he call me a D-bag? What is that? Douche bag? But he didn’t know how to spell douche? Or, is d-bag something else? Where are these guys?
May 31st, 2010 @1:35 pm
I think they Douched themselves right down the Toilet. or maybe they moved to Wisconsin ?
June 11th, 2010 @7:08 am
Ugly ass bike
June 11th, 2010 @9:55 am
It’s in the attic for a reason.
June 11th, 2010 @10:47 am
Oh where oh where did our snipertoe go *sob*sniff*sob*
If he has gone to greener pastures and WILL NOT be building Cheap but Bling 2 than I guess its up to one of us to build a tribute bike. Somebody up to the task? Perhaps Gabe could offer input. His bikes lack a sense of humor (maybe its the cinderblock background in every photo) but do hover somewhere between terrible and OMG. Its hard to compete with the now mythic status of Cheap but Bling.
June 12th, 2010 @6:19 pm
Snipertoe is serving an apprenticeship with Gabriel (complements of JT) and will be back in full glory soon.
June 14th, 2010 @12:43 pm
This thing probably squeaks just sitting there.
