So we were driving around downtown on Friday night this week and I saw a fixie I KNOW I have seen somewhere before. Just plain orange, nothing fancy but its bothering me it looked so familiar. Didn't get much of a look at the rider. Saw a few other really cool ones too, some nice electrical tape jobs on a couple (do you really need electrical tape on an old yellow fixed gear though?)

It may have... I saw mostly the rear triangle b/c I didn't notice it was a fixie till it passed definately that color though, and I thought I saw a bit of taping on it.

Rhetorically?
(in support of crusty - I saw 2 orange fixies on the way in this AM)

if the yellow fixie in question here had one fork leg taped and the other bare, along with other taping on the frame, and a yellow spoke card in the rr wheel, that would be one DumpsterVegan bumblebike.
