Silly way to frame this great article. I have no idea how a great builder who has been building for 20 years gets labeled a hipster. I'm just very happy to see the resurgence in small local builders building quality product for the price a retail trek. Only good things will come from this.

For 2011 we'll not beat around the bush with silly euphemisms and just call them for what they are -Hot Water Bottles.

Useless "hipster" trivia time!
One of the original "pop culture" hipsters...before he played "Gilligan" ... was Bob Denver as Maynard G. Krebs on the Many Lives of Dobie Gillis.

My only complaint about hipsters is that they seem to have exited my market, and moved on to something else. I need them to buy some of the low end stuff that is still hanging around.
So if anyone has some spare hipsters in their marketplace, send them this way!!

I'm all for 'hipsters' going to geared bikes. Have you seen the, "Show us your geared bikes" thread in SS/FG? It's pretty good. A lot of those guys have a color coordinating style sense that the people of C&V could appreciate.

Bikes: Upright and Recumbent....too many to list, mostly Vintage.
aside from the crankset I don't mind it. Looks like there's room for fenders with those 28's on there. I could see it making a nice IGH bike.
I don't see any fender/rack eyelets but its nothing some p-clamps can't handle.
