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 think it's a joke. Backpack, etc. Also the singer doesn't seem into it - almost like he's embarrassed by it lol.

Damn, now I kinda want one of those frames, only comes in one size but it's only .5cm longer top tube than my favorite flat bar frame. Check the *****in leaf cutout in the head tube:

That's a top tube pad, not a seat tube pad.

It begs of a chicken or the egg quandary:

Does dude run his rear axle practically hanging out of his fork ends to accommodate the seat tube pad or does dude run the seat tube pad to make his clearance look tite when he rocks the way-back axle?

I carry my bike up and downstairs every day and I've never considered a top tube pad. are people resting their nuts on these or walking miles at a time while holding their bikes or something? I've never totally understood those pads for basic riding

Newsflash: people do dumb ****.

Shouldering a Mash is pretty rough due to the inverted triangle shaped of the TT, but I carried mine 2 miles to the LBS once without once entertaining the idea of a TT pad.

Yeah I mean, because how often do you have to carry it that far? Like 5 times a year... if you're unlucky

and yeah the mash is definitely more brutal on the shoulder from the shape, but at least it's nice and light

Cuz hipsters love the worst parts of 60's - 80's fashions. What better chunk of the early 80s bike fashion besides pads?



I reckon if I did much stunting on a bike that's too big for me I'd want pads, too.

Your bike being stolen is pretty jackass too...
2 fails in a barrel: cable lock with a barrel cylinder; can't get much worse than this. Easy to cut and pick.
