Looks like Soulja Boy is gunning for T-Pain’s title of owner of the most ridiculous neck chain ever made.
Who has it worse/better? T-Pain with his BIG ASS CHAIN or Soulja Boy and his iced-out R/C Lamborghini necklace?
Swobo Del Norte
January 26, 2009 @ 1:04 pm
I’m looking to sell my hybrid road bike to replace it with a single-speed bike instead. The gears are nice and all, but I find myself hardly ever changing them in the city. And the simplicity of a single-speed would definitely cut down on maintenance (not that I had to really worry about that anyway).
But anyway, my good friend rides single-speed and he seems to love it, so I’d certainly be willing to “switch”.
So…that gives me a perfect reason to post pictures of this beautiful Swobo Del Norte single-speed bike. Of course, it’s expensive because it’s Swobo (listing at $739), but this isn’t too far from what I would like in a bike.
Look at how nice that red chain looks though. I’d like a colored chain on my bicycle.
Kryptonite New York Legend chain and lock
November 7, 2008 @ 2:57 am
I currently own the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit chain and lock and it’s the most important part of my daily biking routine. As a cyclist in the city, there’s nothing more devastating than having your bike stolen (and I’ve already had that happen once), so when I heard that Kryptonite makes the strongest lock and even named the lock after the city with some of the highest bike thefts in the nation, I splurged and got me one just in case.
But pretty soon, my Fahgettaboudit chain and lock will be replaced by an even more robust product from Kryptonite called the New York Legend. The 15mm rounded links made of 3T tempered steel provide the utmost security from bolt cutters, saws, chisels, filers, and hammers, among other traditional chain-cutting tools.
The New York padlock itself sounds impressive, as it comes armor-plated to deter the craziest of thieves who might even bother to try and break this lock and chain combo.
But perhaps the best thing about this new chain is that it comes with hook-and-loop retention strips to keep the nylon chain casing from slipping away. I sometimes find it very annoying that the chain sleeve slips off so easily and this small addition to the sleeve is greatly appreciated.
Like all Kryptonite locks, the New York Legend comes with a theft insurance guarantee as part of the $160 pricetag that comes with owning the 3-foot chain (5-foot version is $210).
