That's depressing, but probably inevitable - the line between dudes who spend thousands pimping their cars to drive slowly down the street and dudes who spend hundreds pimping their bikes to ride slowly to the bar gets thinner every day.
dear the east coast,
thank you for not being the west coast.

I sold my import sports car and got into bikes to escape the overpriced show-offs. Damn.

Fatlace has always had its hands in different subcultures. They're really the only ones "mixing" the two together

Surely there are some other natural pairings...
I think '70s buicks and tallbikes would be a hit. I wanna see buick jousting.

how are those even related? Duno being from east coast ive never understood cali ways. I mean a moped is way closer than a vehicle. Why dump thousands in jdm cars when the whole point of a bike is to get around for cheap.

Because the whole point of everything you own is to show other people that you're cool.
This isn't a west coast thing. This is a d-uchebag thing.

Fatlace is based in sf. The bay are has a huge azn population, especially Japanese.
And the Japanese sure do love themselves some JDM, and NJS...

Actually, that Integra looks clean. The only thing I don't like about that picture is that white Regal. But that's just me.

there will be a surplus of track bikes in 3-5 years when the spikey haired asians and trust-fund hipsters and flat-brim xtreme sports guys decide riding bikes isnt hip anymore (or that bmx bikes work better for tricks) and put everything on ebay to fund their eventual coke habit. I cant wait.

The same thing happened in the late 1980s/early 1990s after the mountain bike boom. High end mountain bikes were being sold for dirt cheap or in some cases given away. A buddy of mine got a beautiful Cannondale for doing a basic tune-up on some rich deadheds VW. :eek:
It'll happen again with FG bikes for sure.......
I wanna see buick jousting.
me to, this would rule

So long as we're typecasting entire coastlines by a single region of a single state, I'm just going to make Miami, Florida my "east coast."

Good call! Let me also point out that the East Coast has embarrassing subcultures that don't exist on the West Coast.

yep. it's technically a time/space anomaly. it's actually located somewhere between fresno and las vegas circa four years ago.
Ok, I know it's getting off topic, but what are those orange guys? I've seen them on failblog, and I'm still really confused. WHY ARE THEY ORANGE!?

it's what happens when bronzer/self-tanner or tanning beds are unfortunately perceived to be a cool.
I bet jersey has the highest capita of ball-waxers in the western world.

That integra would look pretty nice if it didn't have stupid ass colored wheels.
That Fuji Track Pro would look pretty nice if it didn't have a stupid ass car attached to it.

Are you guys seriously just discovering the whole NJS/JDM wank-fest connection?
It's the same crap, just as stupid on both ends for different reasons.
