Not to mention the quality of steel is on par with wal mart bikes.
Research the brand on bikeforums.net, they'll tell you what you need to hear. It's cheap for a reason.
sold by Urban Outfitters =
Easy pass.

how're those DA7600 Hubs holding up? do you need to repack em often?
i want new hubs, i'm leaning more towards phils for sealed bearings though.
considering mack also. I hear they are comparable to phils, and way mo cheaper.

I swear I've seen someone with the same exact build as that Panasonic in the Bay Area
I hardly ride anymore
Between work and school (and both being way too far to bike to), I have no time to bike at all. Thought about selling my bike but Iknow I'd regret it.

A few of my friends ride DA hubs, a couple of them have had them for a few years, and I dont think that any of them have repacked. This includes riding throughrain, dirt, etc. They hold up a lot better than most people think.
I've been riding suzue promax hubs for the past few months and absolutely love them, sooooo buttery.

just so I don't forget. I actually found another bike so now I want to take parts from it but at the same time I want to try and fix it up aswellOriginally Posted by damn its me

Btw damn its me info on where one can purchase such a rim as your front one? I checked the fatlace thinking that was where it was from but didn't see it.
not sure if covered, but its aerospoke- not bad for stability... also 1stwit, id grab some sugino messenger cranks, cheap maybe 120 for cranks and chainring...might need to get a new BB though...always gotta be careful on conversions...
the way i see it, even a track bike isnt really meant to take the tension of a body trying to "skid" (albeit i do it all the time).......so just be mindful of parts and maintenance of your cranks, chainstays, fork, headset, etc. make sure things arent warped and screwed in nice and tight at least once weekly and be safe!
