Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Posting your own bike in the jackass thread = instant jackass attention wh*re status. If nobody else thought your bike was interesting enough to post here, don't do it yourself.

why's that? polo bikes get dropped, crashed, and dented while playing so it makes sense to use a beater.

Hey if you can't call a beater a polo bike then what can you? Sure not going to bring the CF bling machine to a match.
IMHO that's not too bad for, as you say, a beater.

And jackasses want everyone to pay attention to how little they care what anyone thinks of them, despite the obvious logical contradiction of claiming not to care about the opinions of others while posting your own bike in a thread like this, where you're pretty much guaranteed to find out what everyone thinks of you.
