If you break it, theres like no way you're going to fix it.
Stuff like old BBs and Cottered cranks make me cringe.
The vintage aesthetic is the only thing I can think of that would make you want to ride one.
It's like running a 486 when you could run at least PII-300.
The hardware just isn't practical.
That is all.

As far as performance I'd probaby use it to to cruise through Kensington on a warm summers day, that's about it.

I will be putting my studded mtn tires on the Cavern Fixie Cruiser for folks who want to try it but don't have a bike or tires. If anyone needs any tire building tips let me know.

On the topic of novelty porn, I once watched a double header of Edward Penis Hands and Gidget the Midget.
Highlights:
- chick dancing in a literal semen shower, compliments of Edward
- Gidget physically crawling out of an empty TV as she "materializes from the fantasy world"
