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)

Roy, you win mega fail in this whole thread. The reason no one else was offended by the blackface is not because we think blackface is totally awesome (), it's because we understood the context that Scrod posted the picture in.

As in, hey everyone, laugh at this picture because the racism is so ridiculously stupid and idiotic.
Gosh, that makes us really racist now, right?


I'm sorry, this thread is just too much.

See, now this is a better example of something that is not offensive.

Not having read this thread in an entire day has weakened my street cred level. On top of that, my neighborhood is MAD gentrified.

I actually feel like I'm getting closer to becoming a ***** each passing second.

Nate - my dreadlocks prevent me from fully unserstanding what you mean. I do know that I'm deeply offended by your use of the word '*****' though (I think). Better not let me catch you around my neighborhood in whiteface any time soon.

I wouldn't dare ride by your neighborhood in anything that might offend you and your fellow gentries.

I've wanted to say this for awhile.

I LOVE RON BURGUNDY.

And not because he's white....

I noticed that Roy never came back -- probably scared away by all our rampant racism. Obviously, this is why the mods keep a careful eye on the SSFG forum . . .

The mods have been cool about this one, really. We're having a little fun and nobody said or posted anything out of hand.

Well...time to go paint my face and ride over to work.

I live where my parents grew up so I'm calling bull**** on anyone who says I'm gentrifying Crown Heights. But I ride 49x16 on one bike (probably go down to 49x17), 49x18 on another bike (used to be 49x17 and then 49x16). Honestly, I kinda like the bigger gearing.

I know I may have taken it a bit too far there but the 'Snow White with bananas' just wasn't quite ridiculous enough.

The mods have been really lax about this thread...all we need is a squirrel.
