Got myself a Chrome Ivan. Haha, it's massive! Gonna take some getting used to, but certainly built like a tank and I reckon will outlive me.

autumnleaves

Anyone else going?

autumnleaves

bump. next tuesday 13th at the hifi. anyone got any cheapies?

autumnleaves

Nah, no such thing :) I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to buying new things, I like to do my research! You guys have been really helpful, thanks! Reckon the Ivan looks the goods, if I'm only going to be bring a little stuff I'll just use my messenger, so more space can't hurt, and as I said, could ...

autumnleaves

Could you use the Ivan for a bit of light travelling too? Let's say I went to Thailand for a few weeks backpacking. Would it fill that role well? I'm a bit confused, since it looks massive in the pictures on the Chrome website, but it's only two inches longer than the pawn. How is it when it's not f...

autumnleaves

Nice one guys!! The unintentional consensus definitely makes me think about putting in a little more cash and getting a Mission. Any particular recommendations from that brand? retzie: was wondering whether the pawn or Ivan is a better fit... how tall are you? I'm a 5ft10 male. are all new chrome ba...

autumnleaves

Can anyone recommend a good backpack (not messenger bag) for riding? Looking for something waterproof, comfy, simple, and yeah a bit cool looking. Thinking of something like a Chrome Ivan, but they don't stock any in black at the moment on the Chrome website. Any recommendations for something simila...

autumnleaves

Interesting idea. like!

autumnleaves

I just don't get why anybody would want to have their photo taken at a club where you are probably gurning off your face and dripping sweat.

autumnleaves

Cool. Live dub session as in actual instruments on stage?

autumnleaves

What's a protour? Has it got suicide gear levers or the.... handlebar ones...? Would I need to do stuff like replace saddle and all that minor stuff that adds up?

Cheers

autumnleaves

Nah, it's helpful. Thanks. Prudency isn't my strong point, so I should listen since I don't have that much cash, either... What would you consider to be a good all-rounder that is good but not so good that it will disappear in 10 minutes. Should I get one new or secondhand? Obv I'd get a proper kryp...

autumnleaves

Hey guys I've got an average single-speed commuter, but it doesn't ride that well and the gear it is in makes it tough to go up hills (I'm pretty unfit too). I'm going to start riding to work, about 10ks each way, so I'm wondering whether to buy a second bike, more of a road bike with gears so I can...

autumnleaves

how much for an earlybird?

autumnleaves

Hey guys I'd like some recommendations for a bike seat. Basically it's for a single-speed commuter, a flat-bar road bike. I'm a bloke. When I bought this bike, it had one that looked pretty cool, but after a few days of riding caused pain and it kept getting worse, not normal "getting used to it"-pa...

autumnleaves

what do you do there lilstormer?

autumnleaves

how was it?

also, earplugs.. never leave home to go to dnb without em.

autumnleaves

what's the door price?

autumnleaves

Got an iphone, and can't believe how bad the reception is. My Nokia got reception everywhere except inside a lift, and the iphone is struggling inside buildings. Kinda fucked considering the price.

autumnleaves

FS and autumnleaves: it sounds like what you are trying to say is "cockheads are really annoying." Doesn't really matter if they are on a fixie, dragster or magic flying carpet. Mebbe there are statistically more cockheads per unit fixie population, but I still don't think it warrants tarring all w...

it actually was a pretty sweet move... i kinda lol'd when he held on to the tram, but only in a "i can't believe he's actually doing this" way. it was very dangerous.. and now I feel like a grandma.

autumnleaves

narrow handle bars are a city thing. when things get tight the thing most likely to send you flying from your bike is clipping your handle bars on somebodys rear vision mirror or a fence or whatever you get sandwiched between. Biek couriers have been doin it for years, defintely a life saver in cit...

autumnleaves

bad analogy. lamborigini's have brakes. i have nothing against fixies apart from the fact that lots of people don't install brakes on them.

well.. if I'm gonna be there all day I'd like to have the option of eating something.

seriously though, will I have to leave to get some vego food? is there anything around the venue?

locked and loaded. marky was the first dnb gig I went to, and that was about 6 years ago. haven't seen him since, I've missed him a few times in Melbourne since I was overseas, and when I was back here he was playing overseas. that gig at the prince pretty much got me into dnb (that, and some sweet,...

Not to minimize their suffering, but there are many, many people in the world who could use a fundraiser who have no option of buying insurance and no government to support them, and who are in serious life or death situations all the time.

Won't the government be helping these people out?

there's a difference between ethics and etiquette.. etiquette is manners - social codes. ethics is a system of doing good. you can have good etiquette, without being ethical, or vice versa.. i.e. belching at a fancy restaurant, or not putting the toilet seat up, isn't unethical, it might be just bad...

Is this gonna be a 'Logical Progression' set? I see that they're doing an oldschool LP set in Amsterdam a few days before. So stoked for this either way, but an oldschool set from Bukem would blow my mind.

wow.. i haven't been swayed to go to a dnb event for some time, but as said above: lineup, venue, time.. amazing. never even heard of this venue until now but it looks sweet as fuck. also, DJ Marky + Stamina on the lineup made me go from, pretty good, to wow I'm there. well played BBA & co. are ther...

yeah I think I'm gonna start doing the same.. not worth it. it's like wearing a helmet, I mean, it's not that cool, but if it saves my life (or hearing) then it's cool enough for me.

autumnleaves

do you guys wear earplugs when you go out to any gig? I'm a casual musician and wear them whenever I jam, but have started thinking about the damage I do to my ears when I go out to gigs or dj nights. drum and bass is obviously loud, but even other types of music can get pretty loud. i went out to a...

Get High Contrast on board. He's doing NYE in Sydney I think.

Or at least get him down for a side show!!!! It's disappointing that he's not playing a show in Melbs.

Starting a new university course soon, got a new job in the field I want to get into, got a new bike that was exactly what I wanted, and this will be my first Christmas at home with the whole family for a couple of years. After a really shitty year, things are finally looking up for now.

good score. if you went to buy those bits separately you would be up for more than the bike cost ya. wow.. awesome..

think that summarises this thread up fairly well.

Don't rule out a bike with gears just yet. Keep your options open, look around and see what you can find Will do. Are there any places that sell second hand bikes that I should check out? Buying online is a bit... difficult.. for me since I don't really know what I'm looking for, at least if I can ...

Saw your post on BNA forums 8) You just gonna be using it for short trips around town (no hills)? If so single speed might be the go. Less maintenance and lighter. That said, a geared drivetrain is pretty bloody simple to maintain. Wipe the chain down and give it a lube every couple of weeks and yo...

Hey guys I'm looking to get a reliable commuter bike that'll get me to and from work/uni in the inner city. Thinking a flat bar road bike, either single speed (free wheel only) or with gears, I imagine it'd probably be something like an old bike that someone's done up a bit. Not looking to spend too...

Not quite sure if this is a gripe, but it's got me a bit riled.
