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?

I used to be inspired by FGG. Now if I see a bike with those ugly, stoopid, corny looking risers I just skip to the next one. To each his own, but the people who put those on their bikes are just posers following a fad. Why would you put Deep V's/aero wheels (another cliche'!) and a pista drop stem on, and then have just one, upright handlebar position? I know, because you're not really riding the bike, you're playing show and tell with your hipster friends!

Flat bars with bar ends. That's what it's all about. Seriously.

i really can't believe that a riser hate club thread came before "buying expensive track bars and then chopping the ****ing drop off hate club thread". that will never in my mind make sense.
