Yeah, the illustrations are pretty great actually. The whole thing seems pretty decent now that I've had a closer look. I mean, it's obviously kind of corny, but it could be far worse.

If we needed proof of fixies becoming total hipster items, then the inclusion of a booklet made by puma in vice magazine is certainly it. Not that there's anything wrong with the hipster aspect, IMHO. The popularity doesn't really affect me in anyway.. in fact it might just wind up creating some great new products/companies. I don't read vice really, but it's for other reasons than cool/uncool.

Didn't realize this was in another thread.. sorry for the repost - I only did a quick scan of subject lines on the first few pages of the forum.
