The spinouts were much better on the Green Machine than on the Big Wheel. You'd just push the levers apart from each other really fast and there you go.

So awesome. I got sick on one once. But wasn't there like a Big Brown Machine before The Green Machine? I seem to remember a friend having a brown one when I was about 8 years old, maybe 9.

I really don't want to know what you and your friend were doing.

Heh. That didn't read that great, did it? Big Brown One. Eww.

which soul do you own? i bought mine late last fall so it isn't one of the newer models, i think they now have one with an EBB. i haven't seen another one in ontario though. i didn't think it was all that pricey even for a custom build. i think i paid under $500 CAD for the frame, fork, crank & bb (fsa x-drives), pig headset and surly single speed hub. chad even threw in a free 33 tooth ring and spider.

mine is an '04 hardline 19" in gloss grey.... i paid a grand total of 740 CDN for the entire bike, which i bought (very lightly) used on ebay from a guy in north london.
i'm running the stock frame, seatpost, tensioners and fork, cane creek headset and levers, really wide Specialized bars, Mavic/DT/CODA wheels, White industries crankset, Blackspire 34T ring, Sram chain, shimano bb and 15T cog (with spacers on 9-speed hub), Panaracer Fire XC tires, SDG Bel-air, freeride flats, some random stem and some grease.

i can't wait until april!!! (going to build some trail in missisauga [http://groups.msn.com/PEDALOCTANE/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=9] and ride the Paris-Ancaster)

ahh! cool, i have a red hardline. are you going to SS the paris-ancaster? i was thinking of doing it too. what gearing were you thinking? i ride 33-16 pretty much always. or i may take my cross bike out.
