A semi-recent fad here in Tokyo is to get old pursuit bikes, add in about a foot of stem with a stupid bar setup for comfort, and throw in some seat tilt.

LOL so glad our shops in Shinjuku I rarely see really stupid bikes


its also a popular fad to just lock the frame to a poll so I've been teaching customers how to properly lock up your bike -_-

Here too. Angie and I always joke around that Next should just make a bike like that called the DUI (as in "Next DUI").

It would come with shocks everywhere, barends on the barends and gears/derailleurs but no shifters, seeing that everyone riding bikes like that stay in the least effective gear and never shift anyway. Also, it would be labelled with a huge warning sticker on the tup tube saying it should only be ridden on the sidewalk.

I've seen tons of 'em with the seatpost slammed and locking out the rear suspension, but this is the first I've seen with a suspension seatpost added to get back some of that lost rear travel.

That looked like a sweet trail.

That dude should have let him pass, although he was being a ****ing dick.

That dude chooses some pretty ****ty lines. At each of those forks he could have passed that guy instead of *****ing.

Damn I feel like I could ride on those trails all day with a 29er or mtb. Looks like a **** load of fun I wish I had paths like that around me.

When he got cut off, it looks like he had to drop to a lower path, that eventually connected back with the previous trail.

He did a loop around when RockShox got off his bike then came back to the same spot he dropped down on

The whole thing went to court and attacker was found guilty, of course.

Huge thread involving the locals if you are bored enough to read about it.

OMG, trailhead shot of Rockshox' gut profile is pretty awesome. Don't they make baggy MTB clothes in Kiwiland?

Roid rage pic is pretty rad too.

I hope these swagbros didn't tag the town with KONY2012...

Oh nice to see you again around these parts!

Anyhow I was just skimming around my local SD CL when I found this going for $1100 and the event from the second picture I'm pretty sure is the swap meet we had at the SD velodrome late last month.
As for the KONY propaganda, I've noticed some posters plastered up on more specifically the neighborhood/ area welcome markers in town; only if the fools knew it's all a selfish money grab move by invisible children's ops. I managed to snag one off a street sign for myself to keep for hahas.

Ditto.

People put together an event for it on facebook and met up at the local art gallery. I didn't go to see what really happened, but my friend that passed by them said mostly highschool students showed up and there were not that many people. I didn't see anything vandalism around the city, so that's good.
