Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Oh Kanye!

Although I'm not sure I would consider him a track person he sure knows how to laugh at himself.

You sir, are an idiot.

Edit: An explanation:

You spelled "explination" wrong.

Another edit: It's twats like you that make this forum enjoyable.

fark you

EDIT: you are a butt face

I'll admit it: I want a pair of those bar ends.

wasn't "george bush hates tarck people" said by somebody here? Who was it and are they getting royalties?

Does ne one have more pix of kanye w his track bike(s)?

So I guess dressing up like Michael J. Fox circa Back to the Future is in right now.

i wonder if kanye is an actual rider...

wait, how is kanye a track person if all he did was have a bicycle made for him

maybe he rides? i know he has at least two track bikes. no way he's buying more and letting them sit around. surely there's a vid somewhere?

He also has a Cinelli Vigorelli. There was a bunch of **** on here earlier this year (or last?) when he got it, and a bunch of people decided then and there that hey didn't like Vigorellis anymore.

Right now, I think we're all assuming that Kanye doesn't ride his bikes because we (collectively) don't like him, and this way we get to mock him for that, too.

Bummer. I just heard back from BMW and they said they only made 2 sets.

...one for the end user and one set each for the designers that made them.Ah oh well.

1+x>2

x≥2

reading comprehension, can you dig it?

Ah oh well.

dog, ask them if he's a rider.

I wonder if they consulted prolly* or just bit that ****

*it was prolly who came up with the slogan, right?

Nice dress.

he also came up with that ugly assed hed-on-a-chain logo.

Prolly was consulted. The bar ends were machined at BMW, and designed by Supermighty aka EddieBrannan who is an occassional poster on here. I saw a set a BMW when I picked up my new frame on friday. Pretty funny.

On a side note, an awesome shop. BMW not only builds all of thier frames in house, but they also machine every part of thier jigs in house. Top to bottom, all made right there. Pretty rad if you ask me. Thier stems, barends, seatposts, pedals are all made right there too.

And if anyone is wondering, thier gangsta is awesome. I have rode the hell out of it the last few days, a great bike for city streets.

I like kanye plenty. I hope he rides, too many people here act like you cant enjoy a bike unless it's a piece and you've been riding since god himself conjured up track bikes.

Kanye has been spotted riding the BMW in NYC...

I don't know how much, but he does ride it.

Luke at bMW also told me that a friend had it build for Kanye. He custom ordered a color, just like everyone else can, and had to wait for his to be ready, just like everyone else. No special treatment, he had to wait just like you and me.

Remember when Prolly told us that Kanye was going to show up for his little fixed gear trick party? Did that ever happen. Also, what happened to Kayne's Cinelli? That's a way better bike than than ugly-ass BMW monstrosity.

No! Dont tell us that! You are forbidden to present information that makes it harder to hate him. CLEARLY he cant appreciate that bike! I've met him, seen him ride, heard him talking about riding and he DOESNT.

That was a joke (him showing up to peel sessions) but it would be pretty funny if he ever did. I don't know what is up with the vigorelli. Probably just has 2 bikes...

Kanye needs to tie his shoes.

Maybe he likes steel better for da streetzzz.

Man, me and Kanye have so much in common.

Seriously, he needs to tie his shoes.

I hope he rides his expensive bikes.

If I was Kanye, I'd get way gnarlier bikes. Titanium frames left right and center!

can kanye even ride?

If I was Kanye I woulda gone custom.

"If I was Kanye..."



/meme

isn't this the dude who always wore one of those girls leather backpacks?

i'm no fan of hip hop, but a couple of song i've heard that are his i liked. i hope he plans on tying his goddamn shoes when he rides though.

back on topic-ish: who cares if some famous dude bought a tarck bike? it's happened before, it'll happen again. i'm just glad that riding is cool enough for some people to embrace it like this.

His partner Pharell did the same thing with skateboarding a while back. Not sure if I'm the only one who remembers.

No hate, but I'm sure it's just another one of his accessories. Just my opinion.

Doesn't Pharell own part of BMW?

why the **** does it matter if he ties his shoes. chillax you geezers.

Man best roll up them jeans...and maybe his shirt lol.

can kanye even ride?

probably. but what about swimming?:p

Remember, stereotypes are wrong:mad:

If I were kanye I'd buy a Koga and ride it on the streets.

of course it's an accessory. and yeah, i remember when skating got "hot" again a few years ago after the whole neptunes thing. things come and go in waves, though. today it's tarck bikes (which gets kids riding, and that's good!), tomorrow it's something new. oh well, such is pop culture.

I'm pretty sure skateboarding was wildly popular before Pharell.

^
i think tony hawk and mountain dew had more to do with it re-exploding than pharell.

oh, and jackass.

You ever had your shoes come untied while riding? It generally leads to bad things. Not the least of which will be getting chain nastyness all over his $200 limited edition nikes.

im going to prescribe you a new drug that just came out, Chillax, it comes in 20mg tablets and i want you to take one every morning and whenever you feel the effects wearing off. come back to see me in a week and we'll talk about how thats working for you.

hearing the word "chillax" makes it very difficult for me to actually simultaneously chill and relax at the same time. it makes me hate. i'd rather just chill, or relax. not both though. lol

I was going to make an angry post about how biking is not about fashion, then I realized no one gives a **** about what I think and they'll keep doing it anyway, so now I'm wondering why I'm still writi

If I were Kanye I'd have a Vanilla/Don Walker/Nagasawa tall bike built and use two white mavic iO's on that b**** with risers and no pedal retention.

haha. this thread makes me happy.

i was determining how black my friends were today by asking them if they'd ride a glow in the dark bike endorsed by kanye. =/

either way, i do believe i am going to embark on an endeavor to make some of those bar ends and sell them
