Will this be OK for the day?

In '92 my bikes had chain guards and I was going to get my pants real dirty in ditches building "forts" with the neighborhood kids. I wasn't worried about chain grease when I was just going to toss my bike somewhere in the front yard. Then my dad would yell at me to move my bike because I'd be sorry when someone stole it.
Whoa...flashback. Sorry.

As for not using the forum, one can lurk and still get alot
out of the threads that actually have something to do with
fixed gear riding.

Hey, guys, I lost track of what's going on, but I want to give a big shout out to the guy who restored the Fabian thread, whoever it is. You're the man!
It's quite funny how the bickering went on here for several pages here after it was announced that Flipoff Kid is back in full glory...

I am so not a hipster. For one thing I wear cycling clothes and a helmet, but I ride my bike farther than down to the coffeee shop or the liquor store. I also don't do stupid **** just for the "LOOK".
If I wanted to be down with you guys it would require amoung other things: unemployment, a childish concern for what others think about me, and an ability ape the behavior of Holden Caulfield. And a poorly built bike with oddly laced wheels.

Did we just make amends with the man? Down with censorship!
See, I think we're all coming to an agreement here.

The Rev and I just had a nice little conversation. I think he really does not care and is just ****in with you guys, like we do to him. But if you have a radial laced wheel in front, the Rev and I both dislike you. Next they will be making me a mod.
