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)

i guess i can see that, i just didnt think people on this forum were so judgemental based purely on clothes. myself i dont judge someone by their clothes, bike they ride, tricks they like to do, etc......but thats just me.

I'd rather look like Zack de la Rocha than a cookie-cutter hipster.

I do. I always pass judgment on people concerning things they can control. It's not nice to judge people on things out of their control.

So you're accusing all the forum members of SSFG of being judgemental when only a small group of people made comments about your appearance...what exactly does that make you?

cc700 looks mildly like a hipster-type - but one that has managed to move past it and have his own identity. I wouldn't mind knocking back a few beers with that dude and talking some smack.
