I don't think anyone has a problem with the bikes, it's more a problem with the latest wave of people that have been riding them.

As a member of the fourth wave of fixed gear bicycle riders, I detest all members of the fifth wave of fixed gear bicycle riders. Hipsters and poseurs, every one of them.

They will be the first to be lined up against a wall and shot after our conquest of the cyclocrossers.

I liked that Peugeot and I wouldn't mind one, but they seem to hold their price and be sought after here in NZ.

Since he turned down a bid to ride for Team Bearclaw, quoted saying, "I ride for no teams." He was later spotted at a Team Bearclaw party in Pasadena, wearing a homemade "Team Bearclaw: Hell Yeah" shirt. Cole is the most offical unofficial member of Bearclaw.

In this picture: Team Bearclaw & Friends (Including a National Champ from El Salvador, A Toyota-United rider, and COLE)

The "closet" cross was sarcastic.

It doesn't rain enough in LA for me to test fenders like those. Guess I'll have to post at the Portland forum..:D.
