Man! first it was threads about FGG and the crazy bikes on there... now we have velospace critiques?! sheeeesh. velospace is a place made by us and for us (same with fgg). if you do or don't like someone's bike, leave them a comment or an email!

I love that he's riding a bike. That's a beautiful thing. I think this board just brings out the inner ****** in all of us.

Oh, and I love both velospace and the FGG. There shouldn't be anything wrong with discussing bikes on a bike forum, am I right?

i really like the mismatched tires, actually. they complement each other nicely and work with the silver and yellow of the frame. I see nothing wrong with the fork, the headtube angles pretty steep. tight clearance is the ****. i stand by the only thing being funny is the stem height.
and this board totally brings out the inner ******.
i was kinda bummed when my bike was on fgg no one started a thread talking **** about it.

I'd just like you all to know that, yesterday, I posted a thread on how much fun I had riding 20 miles fixed. It was just a story about this barge of a ride that just happened with me and my friend. A real simple story about a couple of guys riding their fixed gears. I had half the response to this thread. Just some food for thought...

there was probably nothing worthy of argument or response in your story about the ride.
this thread's a bit different as it's a statement of opinion, which is something lots of people respond to. also, its a negative critique which automatically pits people into a defensive/responsive position.

The guy who rides this is probably big enough to palm your entire face, dangle you over a rooftop one-handed, and then toss you down several stories to the pavement below.
Monstrosity of a ride for a monstrous rider.
