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)

why we twirK with DROPS!!!

no personal fixie experience with risers myself...seems like they are the wave of the day. praise for them at all time highs...plus the legendary hawk twirkin' with them now too..
that's all good and gully, bang bang, pap pap and all that good stuff...

where is the drop top love tho? If you mess with 'em (exclusively, in addition, on caddies with D's, whatever)...why?

show your love for that classic curve...



I fuks wit em because they put a frame on my ride...horns on my whip...in other words, when 's time to box, I got extra 'bows on me...smell me?
also, when's time to dig, boogie, whatever...I like to get real looow, leverage on sum ish, and feel like I'm as close to the ground as possible, ready to mingle and be nimble

Thanks for the warning jim-bob. Guess I should try reading this again after a few Rum/Dr.Peppers when I get home.

im totally gonna show this thread to my friend, who releases minimal techno/glitch music under the name twerk. he's gonna hate it as he has a small campaign to reclaim the deffinintion of "twerk" on urban dictionary for himself. its gonna be great.

i like drop bars. arguments to practicality be damned, im used to em and I like it. I think thats what this thread is about, right?

too old to know about this thread, but I have and will only have drops, and also love to drop the top on my V12 XJS, if that's what it's about.

Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you. I'll meet you with chain or nozh or britva anytime. I'm not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. It stands to reason, I won't have it.

Twerk is rad! Living Vicariously Through Burnt Bread is still some of my fav lazy Sunday listening.

& drops?... Yeah, Cinelli Campione del Mondo... so nice. I don't know about cars, though.

I just ate a Twix. What really sucks is the vending machine here only has the regular caramel kind but on every package of those there is an ad for the new peanut butter ones which sounds potentially tasty but I'm too lazy to walk the block to the store to buy one and find out.

I find skor bars to be overwhelming, and can never finish one completely.

Yesterday I bought a regular Twix and was really worried because for a second I thought it was a peanut butter one.
