Today I am going to let myself vent here about how a friend of mine went and bought himself one of
these. Now he wants to drop serious $$ on a fancy helmet and I'm like UGH why did you buy such a crappy bike? He keeps Facebook messaging me with questions about changing the gear ratio (Him: "The gearing's too steep; I want to get a new crankset" Me: "No, get a new cog, it'll be way cheaper") and stuff and it's really hard for me to bite my tongue about the bike he got. Why he didn't ask my advice for what bike to get in the first place, I have no idea.
But hey, I should stop being a bike snob and let him have his "fixie" fun, I guess.
