Does anyone remember this forum back when people were ****ting themselves over Aerospokes on fixies? That is, how cool they were? Now people scramble to be the first to **** all over someone's joy at having a new bike because it has an Aerospoke.
**** that, y'all. You done lost your enjoyment of riding bikes, which is now apparently serious business. Build your bike the way you like, ride the ever-loving hell out of it, and if someone criticizes you for what you ride, shove it up their ass sideways with a handful of sand thrown in for enjoyment.
To that end, I like my Aerospoke. Sure, it's heavy, but I like the way it looks. I've liked Aerospokes since the ****ing '90s. It's also durable and the bearings are insanely smooth.
Post here if you love Aerospokes. Don't be ashamed - you have your reasons.
