theres one in a state farm insurance commercial; the guy is walking his bike across the street on a pedestrian crosswalk. laltely i ahve been seeing a lot of fixed gears on t.v., and when the show/movie/commercial is based in new york there is a 99% chance youll see one

There was a whole section in Complex magazine, a couple months ago, showcasing some clothes but shown on actual fixed gear and bmx owners with their bikes.

I also nominate that bike for the jackass thread if it hasn't been already.

i would certainly model my exact bike and put it in there.
so points on your effort to embarrass that guy for speaking loosely, or for his confusion of who the creator of said bike may be.

Fort Lauderdale, is it? Someone asked about your crew today in the mailing group. I'll let everyone know you guys have a crew coming up. We knew some people from Pensacola where intending to come, but no one was sure if people from your city were coming or not.
