Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: LOU4130 on July 08, 2007, 05:37:00 AM: oooh you better belive ill post pics haha!

the ht is 74, which i was a little skeptical about, im used to 75, but i think it'll be ok.
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: flatlandsapex on July 08, 2007, 04:31:23 PM: What does changing the headtube angle from 75 to 74 do? Does it make the front end a little slower? And what the heck does that mean?
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: SHIZM on July 09, 2007, 12:42:27 AM: Yes it does make it slower.
But you can counteract that by pedaling faster. Or if you ride down a hill and gather up some speed you wouldn't even notice.

hey Lou, what colour did you end up ordering?

i decided to get antifreeze green. i always loved that color, and i figured, f*ck it might as well!
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: TOflat on July 09, 2007, 06:51:57 AM: nice ;D I always like the antifreeze green too, something about that shine. When im riding though there are times when its painfully bright but I can see it from a mile away.

Post by: LOU4130 on July 10, 2007, 02:05:54 AM: heres another 2 shots of the metro, Arrons frame, which was eds prototype, (pictured above)now powdered in baby blue! This pic is by edogg2k4 and from monolithic's pics from voodoo.
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: rmmcel2001 on July 10, 2007, 02:42:57 AM: I like that blue. thinking about getting one. Cant take my eyes off it
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: LOU4130 on July 10, 2007, 03:51:05 AM: yea if i would have seen those pics before i said i wanted the anti-freeze green, i may have gotten that baby blue instead.

Unfortunately tho, the pre-orders were the only ones you can get with custom paint, brake mounts or 14mm drops. Pre-orders were over like a month ago. Whatever frames are left will be either raw/clearcoat or flat black. 3/8 (10mm) drops and no brakes. You should get one anyway tho...you can always have it powdered what ever color you want on your own. It is a badass frame and i cant wait to get it even more after seeing those pics!
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: TOflat on July 11, 2007, 03:53:40 AM: not to downplay the badness of the baby blue, but antifreeze green rules them all. ;D
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: Duncan on July 11, 2007, 05:18:29 AM: Only raw frames now? :rolleyes:

Why?
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: Peter Hollinger on July 11, 2007, 08:25:39 AM: Actually as it turns out there will be no raw frames, only if you specifed raw when pre-ordering.

Be sure what you ordered is what you want, because when you pre-order Ed gets em all sprayed individually and if you change your mind he is stuck with a frame the colour you originally wanted. You know?
Makes life way easier for him. He is really busting his ass on this project for flatland! You have no idea the work and travel he has to do to get these done.

Glad to hear you have ordered one though, **** is gona be so dope! :wacko:

Post by: sickchildbikes on July 12, 2007, 03:00:36 AM: just to straighten some stuff out... i have not had time to edit my website and update the details. i was hoping to have some frames in my hand already so i could post up pics and all that. anyway, here is the deal. the frames are at the paint shop. so all the people that pre-ordered need not worry. soon the frames will be on their way. basically my welder and i are hoping that all the frames will be done by friday. i was told that some were done yesterday and i am going to call to see what got painted today. keep in mind that with the custom colors, the production colors and the intrikat instrumentals that the paint shop has got to run quite a few colors.

as for the production colors i am basically running black and gray. i forget the final count of how many of each there will be but it is not that many. originally i was gonna run half clear but not all the tubing was looking so hot and it would have been a hassle to sort out tubes for the clear frames. sometimes you get lucky and all the tubing looks dope but that wasn't the case this time. all the frames get sandblasted before paint so its not an issue for colors.

so there you have it. black or gray. thats what sick child is puttin out this year. i did happen to waste 5 hours driving in traffic to pull a production model from the stacks so i could take it to voodoo. it never made it to voodoo but i am able to tell you that it weighs 4 lbs 2 ozs.

i gotta jet but if anyone has any questions hit me up at ed@sickchildbikes.com

Its not very often you find a frame that suits your exact taste's, but Ed found the combo and this is it. Metropolitan all the way! I'll release some footy soon of this beast in action...so stay tuned. Take care - Aaron
Title: Re: For anyone who ordered a Sickchild Metropolitan...
Post by: bhaverchuck on July 12, 2007, 06:32:53 AM: I gotta say after communicating with Ed over the last several weeks I'm really stoked to have have pre-ordered this frame. Just like everyone else who pre-ordered this frame I wish to have been riding it by now. Words can't describe how much effort Ed has put into producing this frame. Just driving back in forth to the production facility in Sourthern California traffic would alone send me to the edge, and then having to communicate with everyone making sure all the details are to spec is insane. Custom colors, custom options, and custom geo on such a low count of frames is super rare at an affordable price mind you. I'm just posting this because I really appreciate what Ed is offering us. Thank you Ed!

Ok, where is my frame? Just bs'ing. Can't wait until it arrives. :beer: Peace, Jerry M.

As Lou just stated, the Metro is a frame of the higher quality out there.

Clean welds, perfect spacing of the drop outs, great clearence on the chaintays for cranks, short seat tube lengh above the top tube,very lightweight and STRONG.

If only I'd gotten the color I wanted...can't have it I guess.

Post by: slimp on July 25, 2007, 09:37:51 AM: my friend Harb just brought his neon green metropolitan over so I decided to snap some pics alongside my aqueduct. Harb does not ride crankless, he just hasnt had a chance to install the cranks or brakes yet. These phone camera pics dont do the frame justice, the neon green looks sooo much better than in these pics.

Post by: mouser on July 25, 2007, 04:08:38 PM: It's the Quamen cali seatpost. I went ahead and bought it specifically for this frame because my Macneil post was way too short.
The quamen seatpost in the pictures can still be pulled out another inch while clearing the toptube.

i was tryin to do that, the london mod is too big, the hole in the london mod doesnt line up with the cable guide. The guide is too close to the toptube. I can probaly drill out the hole a little towards the top of the london mod to make it fit. Buuut right now im not going to put the rear brakes on anyway, still need a gyro and cables...im in no rush really, it was just somethin i noticed.

the metro rides so good.....It's hands down the best riding bike Iv'e owned since the 87/88 Haro master days. I think I rode masters for well over 5 years untill Haro started doing yag sh_t with the frames. Remember welding the seat clamp area over and over? Those were the days. :beer:

Dont do much backwheel myself, but i noticed how much faster i spin timemachines on it.

Post by: bhaverchuck on August 12, 2007, 09:45:06 PM: the backend is on the short side but hasn't had any impact on my backwheel links. Pete, Are their any Metros left? I'm hoping I won't have issues with mine if this is a "limited" item.

Damn pete, I thought my bike was light? Stuff that in KHE's face. 3.7lb paris my ass. You add on the extra weight with the enourmous seatpost that doesnt come with the frame.

Wow Pete! 20.5! nice.

Thus you should be. It reminds me so much of Ed's old setup. Minus the brakes. Our bikes look so similar. But I still think mines lighter. I'm just itching to ride again. I hate broken bones!!! We gotta ride one of these days. One of these days im hopping the bridge to New York.

Post by: LVSR on November 17, 2007, 06:06:49 AM: I just got my instrumental but I don't know if I should post a pic in here. I know that there is a thread for instramentals, but it is not viewed nearly as much. It basically is the same frame with the exception of the downtube.

Your opinions?

Post by: LOU4130 on November 25, 2007, 10:44:08 PM: well...since my metro is still MY metro, it got a huge makeover..well, is in the process. Not changing any parts cuz its exactly as i want it, but, its got new "threads" so to speak...heres a little preview from my cell camera. Sorry its a little hard to see. Its not cleared yet, but you can see the detail i put on it. took quite a while...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/nycpunker/metrostars1.jpg)
Basically i did it gloss black, then did a dark metallic flake grey fade from the front, then i cut out a bunch of stars by hand from frisket film and placed them over the grey area. then shot another coat of black. then i removed the frisket stars.there are stars on the headtube also, but its hard to see. I like it, its subtle but cooland different. Now it needs some clear and it will be done. Pretty cool eh?

Post by: LVSR on November 26, 2007, 02:58:42 AM: Nice paint job! the stars are pretty cool, though I would have done pink and purple, but still sweet.

I have an issue with uploading pics up on this site. I can't seem to upload any pics on the media section but in the other sections it seems to work.

I am uploading directly from my computer, it is jpeg and only around 100 kb's.

Anyone know what is going on?

I want to post some pics of my instrumental....

Post by: LOU4130 on November 26, 2007, 03:34:05 AM: thanks for all the kind words. it was a ROYAL pain to hand cut out all those stars in frisket film. But it was worth it i think. Ill post up pics when its cleared and back together!

Post by: LOU4130 on November 26, 2007, 03:45:35 AM: Me too...and i think its gonna look way better than before. Just deciding whether i should do the blue components the same color as the stars, or leave them blue.

Post by: LOU4130 on November 28, 2007, 07:56:23 AM: this is true...either way really, cuz if i painted em the grey, i could strip the paint and the parts will be blue again since they are anodized :ph34r:

but im gonna leave em blue for now

I've said this before and I'll say it again... I always thought the aquaduct was a completely ridiculous and clunky looking frame, but now I think the metro is the sharpest, cleanest frame out there. The guys at Sickchild absolutely nailed it with this frame IMHO.

Na, its just a standard bizhouse stem under there. I changed from a camo one to a black one and while i was there i put the sweat band on. Its for when i do inside tomahawk flips, i always cut the backside of my left knee. Hurts like a bitch.

I wish I could get an instrumental with a 13.5 back end. :huh:
