    I would not touch that frame! Look at the top tube - it has been crushed like a coke can.

    How did you do a drop on it with no back wheel ?

    first, thats not fairly decent.
    2nd i doubt this actually happened.

    A lugged frame means road, what did you expect to happen, oh, and rear wheel or it didn't happen!

    nehh that didnt happen. How did you do that damage to the pedals?
    Surely the rear wheel doesnt just come out, if it was about to come out you would notice it.
    Why the hell did you attempt a 4 ft drop on a rigid without a helmet, clearly knowing the state of the bike?
    Vivid imagination if you ask me...

    it seemed 4ft :oops:

    back wheel is out of pic and damge to front whel was done after i threw it at a tree after i fell off, first story 'slightly' dramatized
  • AnonymousAnonymous Posts: 79,667
    so you threw the whole bike at a tree hard enough to snap every spoke? or did you remove the wheel, throw it then reattach the wheel?
  • fourcrossjohnfourcrossjohn Posts: 2,500
    yes :oops:

    title should say , miracle i walked away without the cops turning up for 'violent' behavior'

    Come on, this was surely a joke of a thread and now you've been caught out you just found a destroyed bike and took photos. :lol::lol:

    IF it is true I hope someone didn't just leave their bike there and nip off to do something, they'll be mighty p!ssed to come back to that mess!

  • AnonymousAnonymous Posts: 79,667
    Yeah, just bought my new vans last week.

    I've been wearing vans for ages, I usually keep the newer two pairs for day to day, and keep the old ones for riding in.
    Thing is, the only decent pair I had got wet and muddy at a rave, and really stink of stale mud.
    So, I went to buy some new shoes so I could have something on my feet whilst I washed the others :lol:
  • fourcrossjohnfourcrossjohn Posts: 2,500
    same, i got my new 1's on sat, i like the blue laces but a bit much with blue side panels, might put some white laces in
  • AnonymousAnonymous Posts: 79,667
    I got two sets of laces with mine, black and blue.
  • fourcrossjohnfourcrossjohn Posts: 2,500

    Whats so wrong with chavscum may i ask...?
    Neil aka fred2003 aka ch4v4l1f3
    P.s im more of an ex chav now but even at my chaviest i was sound, chavs always get put down because of the steriotypical muppet chavs that terrorise people and generally act like t**ts.
    I'm more of a designer chav although i still love my air max classics, my trackys, my hoody's and of course my beloved burberry gear. Also unlike "most" chavs i have a good few qualifications under my belt and an IQ of 129 which im quite proud of for council estate scum :)

    Rant over lol ;)
    If you cant race it, and you can't take it to bed, what is the point?

    Erm, when people say "chav" THAT, is what they mean.

    I couldn't give a rat's ar*e what you wear, I'm the last one who should dole out fashion advice. It's the ignorant, violent, muppets that we call "chavs".

    Well fourcrossjohn.
    You made us all laugh, and you placed the doubt in my mind that it actually happened.
    Next time find a bike that looks like it HASNT just endured WW3 and then post it, it might be a little more believable. That bike looks like a test dummy for koreas nuclear missiles hehe . Nice one

    lol its all good as long as this chav is still welcome here ;)
    I'm a good guy most of the time but i can be "naughty" at times, saying that can anyone honestly say they have never been naughty lol.
