Endpoint bikes thread

Look dude, I’m not going to call you out on this — OH HERE IT GOES

You bought a CKH at the shop on a whim. And that’s what you’re using on a purpose-built small-run bicycle from FBM and an American designer.

I mean seriously that is totally up to you, and if I want to make fun of you for doing this, that is totally up to me.

What the fuck is wrong here? So it’s got a blue headset, big fucking deal. Everything else is fine, and fender lines are never perfect first go.

I guess we should make a list or something.

  • Fenders fucked
  • Frame pump irrelevant
  • Stem pointing up
  • Wrong headset in every possible way except, technically, fit
  • Little ring, big sprocket
  • Cranks are unbelievably ugly
  • Saddle green, fit can’t possibly be right

We can add to this.

How have you been here for 4 months?
or, how have you been here for 4 months and apparently not understood the anodizing love?

i propose making the new guy a mod with full privileges

You sound like a miserable human.

how dare you hate on frame pumps

Well max is finally off the hook as worst new guy wow

Congratulations to you both

ignored. but can we ban please?

Braden- If you haven’t shipped this guys frame, I will buy it if you promise not to sell him another one. I don’t even care what size it is.
also, Mods, Please PLEASE make the HG picture new guy’s avatar.

lol. seconded if medium/purple.

Yeah, frame pumps are pretty rad ime, but filling those tires is probably gonna require a statutory lunch break.

*he knows. we know. we’ve already been told he’s fixing it.
*frame pump is whatever you want it to be. better than nothing.
*not even a boner stem. -6 degree flipped so that he doesn’t have a rustystack. no qualms.
*that’s just like, you’re opinion man. blue is fine.
*womp womp womp. this isn’t a garage door picture.
*cranks are fine.
*dude said he was going to get a different saddle. again, this isn’t the PYB thread. this is about the first round and somebody raced to finish their build. I’ve built up countless bikes that didn’t fit correctly right out of the stand, but you need to ride it first to figure that out.

this ain’t a glamour shot and you’re kinda insufferable.

petition to change new guy’s name to “irrelevant frame pump”

Also he’s pretty good at trolling you guys.

I’m okay with being insufferable but never okay with being wrong about bicycles. You tell me it’s fine, he’s fixing it, I woke up to this picture of my $4000 bicycle, first build yet, and it ruined my day.

That’s where I’m at. You can nitpick my bikes when you see them this afternoon. We’ll get along fine. But if I’m wrong about this photo you tell me how.

Poor guy. Sorry your feeling was hurt. Probably should go tell your friend. Once you’ve got your bike you can build it up properly with 100% musa components or whatever stupid build you think is proper.

It’s really not about my feelings. I’m dead inside, you might have noticed? This is about my bike. I thought this was a bike forum.

Is this new guy just really upset that his expensive toy is not as curated and exclusive as he thought?

Did you not realize that the H/G is a homercar not a tesla?
