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)

Really nice! Except for the integrated headset... I like that frame. Luckily, I can't buy it.

Your momma is!

I think the dropouts are kinda rad, albeit the implementation is not top quality.

Why do you get all thugged and dumbassed when you start talking about graf? I seem to recall you talking like a normal hipster child when you're talking about bikes.

I also love it when kids jump on each other whenever graffiti is mentioned. It's the absolute dumbest pissing contest out there.

I'm not buying that bike either.

the first sentence was sarcastic. i dont know if you'd call my second sentence thugged out but whatever helps you sleep at night. and i just love jumping on people about graff because when i was toy i got jumped on a lot.

also i've noticed the writer/rider ratio is very high.

Getting picked on is all a part of being a toy. Happens to everyone. A natural step, one could say.

I've always found that the people who say things like toy and poser and such are generally the ones who are relatively new to the scene themselves and aren't really in it for the right reasons. Back when I used to write (basically when you were like 7-10, so things may have changed) we did it for fun and thrills. I've grown up a lot since then though.

Graffiti has always kind of been a hipster thing. Everyone's gotta do something to kill off their suburban roots.

Did you just say someone can be into illegally writing on walls for the wrong reasons?

Okay just clarifying. And I guess I am "new" relatively, considering some dudes have been writing for 10-15 years if not more.

Ignoring the legality issues, if there's nothing good about it at all, why are you doing it? For me, it was hanging out with a bunch of friends in abandoned warehouses and painting on walls in destroyed parts of town. We had a lot of fun and didn't ever worry about who was new and who wasn't. A couple of the guys are still doing it, but most of us moved on when we grew up a bit.
