Beyond the orange components and lack of front brake I find it to be a legit build for a fair price. Just gimme a front brake and I'd ride it all day.

i mean, homies got dice valve caps and probably never rides in the drops(that bar angle), but i dont see anything really jackass about it, unless im missing something. seems like youre just making fun of his style - which is pretty whack - but whatever, this thread is about jackass bikes, not trendy looking dudes.

Rear brake only with single speed, not fixed. From everything I read in this forum, that's incredibly stupid, right? The bike itself is fine but if that brake goes... Good luck picking the asphalt out of your teeth. I'd think that's jackass.

psssshh I had a rear brake only on a singlespeed conversion and the only thing that happened was I could do sweet dirt skids. not dangerous, just not very effective.

and if you get wrecked by having a break go out and dont have the smarts to put your feet down maybe stick with walking. but I see where youre coming from

So the bike is fine but the lack of a front brake makes it "jackass"? To me, it just needs a front brake.

Looking like that; that's whats trendy now? Seriously?

Scrodzilla 02-11-13 07:35 AM

Maybe not in Kitchener, Ontario but in US cities and suburbs dudes like that are a dime a dozen.

if given the opportunity I will call someone a HIPSTER to the face but i havent been given the opportunity yet :(

SS_Giant 02-11-13 09:02 AM

if wearing jean vests and bandanas are a way for someone to express themselves than more power to em. All this 'hipster' hate comes from people that are too afraid to be bold and truly think for themselves, 'hipster' or not be yourself and stop worrying about what other people do or dress like

GENESTARWIND 02-11-13 09:12 AM

ok

Word. I'm a hipster by every definition of the term: multiple pairs of colorful huge glasses, skinny jeans, fixed gear bike, tattoos, go to shows, like craft beers, etc etc. IDGAF if people look at me and hate me because of what I look like. That's on them, not me.

/Cue all the "but I define hipster like [super narrow definition that basically renders the term useless] so you're not really a hipster!"

TMonk 02-11-13 09:51 AM

hipster

TMonk 02-11-13 09:51 AM

jimmytango 02-11-13 11:17 AM
