Didn't we have this exact thread 12-18 months ago?

Fred general thread is born.

stop

Do freds ride in the city or are they more of a suburban type folk?

Is the Rock Island thread from 2015 still up?

I've seen this exact copy-pasta with the same image on /n/ at least three times.

>>1047500
I barely come to /n/, and even I have seen this pasta before.

Just fucking kill yourself.

They live in middle class suburbs but they drive to the city with their bike to ride on the trails around the lakes in the inner city. At least that's my guess.

I have a Claris 8 speed drivetrain with the FSA tempo compact crankset that came on my bike. But I don't even use the small ring anymore and I want to do a 1x conversion. Will my rear derailleur work with a simple 1x (~50t) chainring?

t. Fred.

Stop mashing, freddie

>>1048864
But it feels so good
Why not sprint everywhere?

>>1047518
NYC has urban freds, they do park laps during the week and ride upstate on the weekends

It's not efficient and your knees don't appreciate it

I've seen these same replies to this pasta at least twice now.

I can hit about 40 mph with a 53x11 on the flats with my road bike. I can hold this for a few miles before I burn out. I always end up running out of gearing with a 46t when in route to the trails.. I understand you think you are some eilte rider that 'knows' everything about biking but I think you are just weak as fuck.

Hey Faggots,
My name is Sheldon, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at 90s rigid MTBs with slicks. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever ridden a classic 10 speed? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to triathlon bikes.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the cyclocross team, and starter on my road racing team. What sports do you race in, other than “jack off to trains and ugly shit mountain bikes”? I also get straight wheels, and have a banging hot bike I just rode it; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

The answer to your question is probably yes but it will be complicated.

But just came in to say how much the FSA Tempo fucking sucks. Youd get a stiffer chainset if you made it out of willow branches.

>>1051113
No shit dude, it's a stock chainset. Probably even worse than the Claris crankset.

>>1051139
Well the cheaper FSA cranksets are notorious for being absolute shit. I've personally broken two Omega cranks on normal riding.

>>1051146
Are you surprised then, that I want to replace it? 1x or not.

Hey faggots. Its the real SHELDON - well for real my name is John, it seems like youre even too retarded to see the difference.

It seems like you keep reposting my image the whole time, you're even editing my text and photo. Do you think I care? Youre just miserable - it's just like I said. By doing this you try to hide your own problems. Fuckin HUGE problems

Well, my life keeps getting better and better. I just dropped my bike: it's just a piece of shit that my best friend crashed (well, I still wouldnt have bought a new one otherwise). Also I keep BIG PIMPIN, just got a new fuckin spendy bike (a Rivendell) and changed my style - calling it BLUE STEEL. And you? I guess the best thing you did in the last month was masturbatin to some trains or 90s rigid MTBs or sick shit like that; well Ill meet two girls tonight and plan to go touring with both of them.

So, do the world a favor and kill yourself before youll rape a person for real. You make me sick.

Mr. Peterson reeks of desperation to stay cool and trendy, which is sad because Bridgestone bikes under his watch were great because they were well made and spec'd bikes, but Rivendell is just a fashion brand.

You think your funny? Real funny faggots. you think this is a joke?

yea making fun of me is so funny, so funny i forgot to laugh. I'm tired of getting dogged on by you faggots all the time whenever i use a bike with disc brakes. If you wanna talk like that to me why don't you come here and say it to me face so i can answer your insults with a swift disc brake rotor to the leg. yea you have a lot to say from hundreds of miles away but i bet if my brakes were in reach of your body you would be like a tv on mute with no volume button So do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut unless you want to die. Next time you think about saying something like that to me I want you to remember one thing. I know the guy that created google maps and I can locate you in the time it took me to type this.Don't want anymore problems....didn't think so faggots. You have any idea what disc brakes are.? I do, I was on the Sky cycling team and I perfected them. I'm fully capable of using them on you motherfuckers. Do you know the dander your in if I find you? I am 100$ serious. Bunch of god damn newfaf loser here and I will not have it. At least I've had sponsorships, won races, and gotten paid, and promoted Shimano products unlike you virgin pieces of unpatriotic SHIT. Pic related: I'm on the bike on the right. Don't fuck w/ me.

>>1052606
What? WHAT WAS THAT? Sorry I must have misheard, I thought I heard a giant fred mouthing off at me with something he sure as fuck could never back up, but it must have just been my imagination. Because after I imagined hearing that, I proceeded to imagine how good it would feel to bend that persons brake rotor into a potato chip. I imagined how my next step is usually to rip off one of the persons brake hoses and jab it straight through their nose into their brain cavity. I imagined pulling that hose back out, and then brainfucking that dead fred through the new massive hole in his face I created.

But I didn't really hear anything, right? no one would be fucking dumb enough to talk to me like that on here.

At least he was trying

srs: how is that frame too small?
