Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

hipster or not?

Which is the true hipster?
a) The guy with the vintage pinarello in perfect shape and the all italian parts
b) The guy with the conversion road with bike no brand label in a super bright color and matching velocities
c) Or the guy with the Parisian Gentleman upright rider with a scarf and a coaster brake

admittedly, any one of these will instantly become a hipster the moment he wears a white belt.

any other suggestions?

I suggest you stop posting useless threads or I'll be forced to give you an infraction

Yeah, even hipster-bashing is getting old around here.

More bike-talk, less high school drama, please.

its like you're so paranoid about falling into a label and you want to start a thread like this so you know what NOT to do. LAME.

1. everyone is free to express themselves through their bike and the way they dress.
2. as long as the bike is fitted and positioned correctly, there's nothing to cry about.
3. STFU and RIDE.

Last week I was at work late one night waiting for a fax, and in my boredom I wrote a simple harmless joke about hipsters. I say harmless because saying "hipster" is like saying "dweeb" or "jerk" in that its impossible to describe, Universally disliked, and no one ever admits to being one.
Within minutes I was LAMBASTED for wasting peoples time, and misusing the forum with "high school talk" On member even threatened me with an "infraction" whatever the hell that is. I quickly apologized thinking to myself "wow, hipsters are sensitive. Ixnay on the ipsterhay"
anyway, imagine my surprise when I come back on monday morning to find TWENTY THREE posts equally stupid to mine? Lets not take ourselves so seriously. I agree that we shouldn't misuse forums, but c'mon.
