I haven't seen that particular commercial but I'm sitting here at a Starbucks with my mini laptop logged onto E*Trade checking to see how much money I lost overnight, next to my FG.

Most likely one of the designers'/programmers' bikes. One of the few things I learned in my semester as a computer science major is how much fun it is to slip easter eggs like that into your code.

I saw one in an old Simpsons episode once, no brakes, track drops, track grips. Had to freeze frame the episode to get a look but it was there for a split second.

it was javier, a pimp and acquaintance of freebo's, who debra was questioning. i work on the show so i could not resist. i meant to ask what the deal with it was, but i forgot. one of the camera guys had a real nice fixed gear that he kept on the lot for awhile. different bike though.
