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)

the machined walls match the silver chain and chainring bolts and the matte black wheels match the matte black frame and if they were painted black they would be glossy and not match the frame.
so fashionable .....see?

That's Burnside, people will tell you it's harder than it is to get you to stay away.

Still I can't believe they let him skate there without giving him so much **** he was reduced to tears.

Body guards? Haha

What makes you think he didn't? Do you know for a fact that he didn't have the money to? Oh come on, you aren't "profiling" are you?

Exactly... My friend was in Portland and he skated burnside. He's really really good, and he said that even when he threw it down the locals still snubbed him.

my friend who is a jewelry designer was once trying to explain pharrel's huge necklace to me and how it's made of several of the rarest and most expensive gold alloys and just how ridiculously expensive and crazy it was. i couldn't believe the type of **** that people spend their money on.

that bike looks like a poor fit.

burnside is insane. i would be afraid to drop in at all.

I agree with all the money in the world, this is what he or his stylist came up with? Brutal.......... I really used to dig Pharrell. Now it just seems like he's riding the coat tails of Kanye and Nigo. Not to mention how fat his head has gotten. He used to be really cool, now in interviews he's turned into a freak. Although NERD's first album was definitely the best and still gets rotation with me. After that......? what happened. He could make beats for everyone except himself? Plus needed Kanye and others to sell In My Mind......

Ice Cream and BBC are like the same thing....

Over-priced crap! Different label but the same stuff and it's tired. Not to mention you have to be a billionaire to buy it. 75 dollar fitted's and 75 dollar single color screened t-shirts? Just cause Nigo can get away!

Reading through this thread is five minutes of my life wasted that I will never get back. Sometimes it's good to be out of touch. I have no idea who pharrel is nor do I care enough to find out. Seems like just another dork with more money than brains.

lol pharrel is a tard and tries to do anything done by mainly white people just so he will stand out from all the other current hip-hop artists... he's like an inverse ******...
and that bike is WAY too small for him! i also like his janitor key ring which probly has keys to a bentley or something on it

For what it's worth, he's frequently photographed on all kinds of different bikes (used to be seen with a BMX alot) so he does ride. To be totally honest he's probably been riding longer than half the tards in this thread currently hating on him...

Is he ever photographed riding those bikes? All the ones I have seen he is carrying or just sitting on them not moving. Anyone who purchases bikes made for people that are 10 inches shorter than them is no cyclist. He is just trying to be hip, and if that means carrying around a way undersized bike, that is what he will do.

Yeah there's a photo in a book of photographs of celebrities (photographer's name escapes me) where he's riding down an alley at the camera with no hands on the bars or feet on the pedals.

So yeah...

Now I have to call out your ignorance in this post. While I understand your plight, as I pay all my own bills and am putting myself through school thanks to student loans and my own paychecks, you are being totally obtuse. What about black kids with rich parents? What about talented white kids? Or Hispanic kids? Or Asian kids with any of the aforementioned advantages? I'm just saying, it's comments like this that keep us all thinking in terms of color or even class instead of just considering one another as human beings. Sorry for the soapboxing, I just can't put up with that.

No its a 20". He rides in the Lapdance video too (rides standing on the top-tube near the end). He's a small guy.

But why would you be confused by 24", cruisers are fun.

You cannot tell me that every hard working white boy can make just as much money as these superstars. I am just an ignorant fool on a bike though. It really doesn't matter what I think. I should have bit my tongue. I should always bit my tongue.
