Oh, a rune. Of course.
I just think there are plenty of other ways they could have made that logo look if their overpaid marketeers pulled their heads out of their rears. Especially the black and white one. Eepp...
Yes, and the swastika was around long before the NDSP. Doesn't mean you still shouldn't go around throwin' it up/on things.

besides I doubt any Gestapo Schutzstaffel would be able to kidnap anyone if their victims could see them rolling up on their hot pink and lime green wheeled bikes...

I wonder if the muscle grouping required for goose-stepping for long periods of time is similar to those required for fix skidzzz

no...but goose-stepping does help stretch your quads after riding a century of uphill sprints with a 48x15....

I remember Deathare posting that these kinda sucked in some other thread. Something about them not being durable as far as colored tires go.

Yeah, they're tires. Big deal. I didn't get a hard-on. Stop lurking the interwebs and go ride.
What tubing did you get? Uno, Zero, or LTZ? And what geometry did you spec it to?
I'm sure you know the swastika has origins and meanings different than strictly Nazi Germany...
