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 don't see anything wrong as long as it's the "official" rasta man jersey.

Bikes: I built the Bianchi track bike back up today.

But can you buy Bob Marly sandals with a place to mount your cleats yet? That's the real question.

I think that jersey should be the dictionary definition of selling out. For the records, the sell out is not the person on the jersey, but the body inside the jersey.

I feel like it would be okay if it didn't say BOB MARLEY real big. If it was just his face, that would be cool. I don't know why and I have never worn a jersey anyway.

Yeah I always want to ask the kids with the shirts like that if they bought them directly from the craftsman who made them, and if not, why they are supporting the capitalist bourgeoise pigs, but haven't gotten around to it.

What they need to make is a jersey with Haile Selassie on it. Conquering Lion of Judah on the back. Wearing it wouldn't be selling out becuase nobody would know who it was.

hmm, well, you could always have a jersey with a picture of a giant headset on it....I have no clue what it would accomplish, but hey...I'm at work, my brain is on strike until I get some weekend boozing out of the way, and I can't come up with jack squat...well also the idea of a jersey that has a giant picture of a red swingline stapler would be cool just because of the semi-obscure movie reference

I wanna know what's up with all the "Hollister" t-shirts? I gotta wonder if half the people wearing those have any clue what/where Hollister is, or why it's famous?
