Bandanas As The New Top Tube Protectors?
I guess frame pads & Kashimaxs are out, bandanas are in. It's tough to keep up with the kids are doing these days but I like it, it kinda looks like all Mad Max! You know, when there's no more gas & we battle each other in the desert on our fixies!

Don't trends go from France, UK, Japan, NY, then LA...ect...
Chicago's right above Green Bay, WI on that list. Ooooh SF, la de da!

Not new at all.
I did that to my bike over two years ago, so I harbor no illusions of "starting" it, so I assume it had been done well before that.
If Green Bay is below Chicago, where does that put Milwaukee on the trend totom poll?
A lot cheaper than either frame pads or Kashimax.

I never got Green Bay, I always keep looking for the city. I figured if they had a football team there was some semblance of a city.
I'd get a Confederate flag for mine, I can have the first General Lee themed fixie!

Just be careful what color you choose. the color of your bandana says a lot about you and your ah... preferences

On a side note, that saddle and bar/stem combo is just terrible.

Maybe IRO should make their own track specific stems.

i'd much rather see it as a top tube protector than covering someone's mouth on a myspace picture while posing with a brand new track bike.

los angeles is the burial ground of fashion.. the end of the line.. and the bandana is dying a cruel, hard, albeit too slow, death over here...im just trying to do people a favor... bandanas are the next "no way.. wasnt me.,.. i never rocked that ****" accessory...if you quit now.. people might actually believe you

I was glad I happened upon this thread when I did.
I was able to dig out two old bandanas I had and use them to wipe the mastik off a freshly glued wheel. Thanks BikeForums!

Doesn't anybody in the States use hockey tape, or is that just a Canadian thing?
Me, I used to use rolls of Benotto handlebar tape back when stores were dumping the stuff like last year's fad. It made for a fancy bike.
