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)

I know that bike it looks just like mine, except for different saddle, still have the electric tape, original chainring, profile bars,and carbon fork and differant front wheel due to a little incident with a horse and buggy biking home drunk from the Inner Town Pub-tacoed rim,bent fork.

And that sentence is one big nasty run on.

Sorry, the English teacher in me will go on hiatus very soon, for the summer.

After many admonitions by [165] I've come to terms, even embraced, the lack of proper grammer [sic] on this board. Serenity now.

I hope this will make you feel more superior than me. 165 it was the chitown bar, a great place to shoot pool after the alcohol abuse center went down.(sorry forgot how they spelt Tuemanns and did'nt want Skitbra all over my azz)

FYI: Tuman's is open again and has been annexed by the Lincoln Park crowd. For this, I shake my fist. They now serve food, too.

BTW: did'nt is spelled didn't

Yes, it interfered with his posengosity.

Crusty: 1) was your ride parked by the Xsport gym on saturday? 2) your thread has officially been taken over.

yeah, I lived right by there in Ukranian Village before rich whitey moved in all over the place. It's not gentrification, it is rich man's diarrhea. I grew really tired of all the 'new' construction. But I do miss those bars (Inner Town, Club Foot, Tumans, etc) that were in that area. ****ing goddam yuppies and their Crusade.

Tuman's looks all punk/hardcore kids to me. Didn't step in but it was all hoodies and all-stars. Club Foot is still going strong, still old school o n some night. Comparatively, the crap arse Darkroom that's just a little further west of Tuman's is ****e. They have an open non-raised, with get this - alcohol sitting low under a table.

Then maybe you have really left your mark on the possenger scene because I saw a ride that looked much like yours. As a matter of fact, it seemed to replicate much of the alterations evoked in this thread. I guess this means there are people following you, who is following the messengers. Does that make them posingposengers?
