there are so damn many vintage fixies on CL right now,
i can't help thinking that the bikes are just being stripped for their parts
and these 'fixies' are actually just someone's leftovers being sold as something trendy.
So basically the notion of personal property should be thrown out the window? The idea of market economics as well? A person shouldn't be allowed to sell and trade goods based on what the collective aristocracy on C&V determines is "wrong"? Someone can't use a donor bike for parts then "fix" it and get the most value from the market?
As long as people are riding, who cares?
