props for even riding a bike at all, but getting hyped on "bike culture" and trying to be "accepted in the fixie/singlespeed community" rings as superficial. Ride your bike because you like riding your bike, everything else is secondary. Don't ride your bike because you're in love with the image of it.
Manifold Man: I actually like the bike, and I'm glad you ride it for whatever reason you choose. But (as a seperate issue) I find it suspect that you talk about "fixie-culture" as if it were some sort of country-club you were trying to buy your way into.

And on another note, I know some of you would like to think that "fixie culture" is not for sale, but it is. Some of you just bought it sooner than others, now stop trying to pretend you're all OG and ****.

Sold out?
Folks be selling bikes and bike gear for nearly a century. I'm sure there's plenty of bikes in stock.
