Choppers, for when the fixed gear fad winds down.

Not that I don't love choppers, not that the new Stingray or this new Felt don't look like a lot of fun... But what's the point of an off-the-shelf chopper? Same reason I don't like the Toyota Matrix or PT Cruiser.

off the shelf choppers suck, atleast the schwinn does, i rode one at the local shop the other day and the bars and seat were really low, and when you raise them it looks, well, stupid!

hey kids, it may be off the shelf, but when you get it for cost, it's a fun toy for weekends and kicking around on...

I was riding the "Bratz" low-rider around Target, it kicked ass, except for feeling like it was going to fall apart in a few minutes.

I'll tell you tomorrow after i talk to the boss about it. Felt sometimes does better than cost for E.P.'s -- hence, my soon-to-be-purchased f15.

but i like the "Baron" as well, and it doesn't have the OCC knockoff thing going. the iron cross chainring is quite cool.

Store choppers do suck. The best is making your own. They're not practical but are a lot of fun. Check this site out for some better ones.
