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)

I'm sure that between Bike Snob and here, there were enough negative comments that anyone would have pulled it.

I acually like the black one.On the red one the socialism sticker may be a bit out of place on a bike that screams capitalism but i don't know if that's jackass.Being the US and all,i wouldn't expect the owner of that bike to even know what socialism really is.

I can't see how he'd mean that sincerely, unless he doesn't associate conspicuous consumption with Capitalism.

The Fuji Obey is certainly an over-priced POS bike, but I don't think it warrants being jackass status. It's just fashion faux-pas. The "Socialism" bike is so blatantly contradictory that I think it merits posting here.

The socialism bike strikes me as akin to the fad of wearing CCCP jerseys in the 90s. I doubt it has much to do with politics.

I can't stand when people color match their wheels to their frame in primary colors. It just looks bad.

looks like that lock is big enough to go through the front wheel if he locked up at a different angle. why leave your ARROSPOK unlocked? you paid a pretty penny for it after all.
