bright, but not jackass. Although, the stickers are weird and those levers aren't designed for road calipers.

Trolling -Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can. Guy: "I just found the coolest ninja pencil in existence." Other Guy: "I just found the most ******** thread in existence."
Fixed.
Fixed.
Also, you butthurt bro?

But aren't dirt jump and trials frames made of aluminum? And don't these styles of cycling engaging in trickery far above and beyond the flatland BMX-wannabe style that is FSFG, both in levels of awesomeness and in forces exerted upon the frame?
Indeed they do! I was trying to make one when I commented on Jon's picture, although I admit that it might not have been funny. Seriously, how would the type of wheel that I ride in any way annoy some random guy from some random picture on the internet? The statement itself is so ridiculous that it could only be made by someone who was joking, is a phenomenal moron, or is just plain crazy.
For the record, while Jon might've been joking, and while anyone who knows him and/or is familiar with the event might be fully aware of that, as just a contextless picture on the internet it is difficult to read as a joke. It looks like a typical hipster (girl's jeans, AA t-shirt, winter hat in the summer, chest tattoo) doing a bit of FSFG tricking while rocking a possibly sarcastic, possibly sincere conformist slogan on his wheel (you really never know with hipsters, as they both enthusiastically exalt non-conformity, and tend to exclude and deride that which does not conform to their own mores). Since this is something that people do in earnest, an image of someone faithfully replicating the action being lampooned is not going to be read as a joke.
For the record, that's Jon who used to work at Leader. He was being funny. People make jokes.

Any TT or dirt jumping frame made of aluminum will be constructed much differently than a track frame which isn't designed to take such abuse. I suppose I should have been more specific for detail hounds such as yourself by saying "Tricking on any aluminum track frame is just stupid".
Do you read into everything this much? You must be a real blast to hang out with.
