I dont mind the site and applaud the women building bikes. I think many of the bikes were saved from abandonment and if these new builds gets people out on them with some form of passion, then power to them. Indeed, a few of the builds are improvements over the originals, although some not so much. And of course, a few were horrible. But I think the spirit was good with these guys and remember seeing this site before the zenith of hipster movement drowned out much of the unique goodness of fixed gear. At its best, it brings the bike to its purist form, not such a bad thing depending on what you're working with. Lastly, it inspired more to go two wheels over four, another positive force on many levels.
