The TA-esque crank on that funny bike blows my mind... but not necessarily in a good way ;)

I love the matched up colors on that bike. The frame is ownzors too.

blah blah blah excuse me for not being some bike eletist dork. I ride a track bike that I could afford and that's that. OMG.. ebay bikes lolz.

As for the comments about the piece.. you might not be into it but don't say that the artist is "someone awful." ICP is one of the most legit crews in SF and **** like this over the internet is ********.

"ride the **** out of it at not worry about locking it up in shady chicago neighborhoods or crashing it because I turned around to look at some gal on the street and hit a bus (which I've done). "


Yep the above almost happened on Friday.

Actually the frame is made in Taiwan. Crafted in USA doesn't mean Made in USA -- it means it was designed here but made elsewhere.

From this thread: http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php...sh+frames+made

"Fetish are decent affordable frames, but most certainly not hand-built. They are all produced in Taiwan and are all machine built. I am not saying that this is a bad thing, I just wanted to clarify. We've been a dealer for Fetish in the past and I didn't want people to get the impression that these were hand built by a US Frame builder or anything. My wife rides an SAC and I used to ride an SAC Aero as a TT bike and neither of us had any complaints."

Nice looking utility hauler. Is that a bob trailer?

yeah, i know. Its the one part of the bike that kinda bothers me. not the look really, but the fact that they're a bit too long. oh well. i doubt ill change it at this point. this is my beater now after my bike liquidation sale last month.

i dig that trailer as well. how is a trailer on a fixed gear? ive heard scary stuff about them.

...i'd probably still get one though.

I wonder how many people take "crafted in the USA" to mean built in the USA by Americans.
While technically true, it does strike me as slightly disingenious.

You always ride with the brake qr open?

disingenuous?

and chrisgraham81! what is that crazy brake lever?

Intentionally/unintentionally misleading, perhaps?

More like accidentally intreperted as misleading because people don't know what the definition of crafted is.

LOL that's how HARD CORE he is!:D

Sorry couldn't help myself

The literal difference between “made in” and “crafted in” are so slight to a laymen that Fetish must know that a large proportion of their customers will probably mistake that “crafted in USA” sticker to mean “made in.” That’s all I’m saying.
I'm not saying they're intentionally trying to deceive the public. It's just a innocent situation that probably only helps their sales and one that they're probably in no hurry to clarify for that reason.

I have mine set up to lock the front wheel when the qr is closed. That way, when i lean it up against stuff, i don't have to worry about it falling over.

Interesting. I had no idea.

yeah, probably.

and i was just getting on you for spelling on the other post. that's all. http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=disingenuous

Oh, I see.
Jerk. ;)

What the.

Well, that's one of the sketchy points, relatively. The wheel is this weird road hub, so it's got the QR thing going. Which is still doable, it just can't be no sketchyass QR. And I'm obviously not skidding on this machine or anything. That's a BOB trailer, and the special BOB QR is beefy enough.

Going down hills with much weight in the back can get hairy FAST, so right now (and for the foreseeable future) the trailer's just for keeping me a lot less sweaty carrying the guitar/laundry/beer around. But it's great exercise and form practice (esp. keeping the knees in the same vertical plane) to keep constant resistance (and therefore speed) going downhill. And I'm still in FL, whole damn area is flat.

So in theory, trailer + fixed should never happen, since the rear axles would be different. But there's only about 43 things on this bike that should never happen, so yeah.

I am a nerd.
