just the way it was made, man...just the way it was made.....

Gawd that's dodgy. May as well stick a hose down there and start the rusting process now.

Damn nice bike apart from the holes.

A ball peen hammer and some J.B. Weld would clear that RIGHT up.

It's obvious: the sealed, filtered dumb lugged, ass ends of high style.

It is true. When I first saw that thing on OST message board I had to laugh. They were raving about it and talking it up as being the height of cool. I think that is because one of the big presence people on the site had it made and it was a case of the emperor's clothes. I wouldn't ride it to the dump.

Brakes are for wussy's? Wussy's? I'm not one to put slogans on my bike. I like the bike to speak for itself. If I were to put slogans on my bike I would be sure that the grammar was correct. That being said, I also wouldn't want a bike with the tubing open to the elements like that. Although there is a "Bikes not bombs" sticker on my MTB, but it was there when I saved it from the Goodwill store.

yeah i thought it seemed wack. and that sticker is lame too. 'wussy' is a watered down form of 'pusssy' to salvage a misogynist insult. and having a brake, even though i never use it, has saved my ass a couple times. when i take it off i end up riding a lot slower or with a feeling of morbid abandon... i dont ride fixed like a maldoror.
