  • West end final:

    THE FOFFA REBUTTAL: BUSTY SAMANTHA HAS NO IDEA ABOUT DANI'S OVERHEADS OR TENUOUS H + SON AFFILIATION, IS UNQUALIFIED TO CRITICISE WHEELS

  • Guardian:

    FUFFA: IS THIS SOME KIND OF NEW ESKIMO COAT?

  • did he shit down the chimney or does the kennel have other random holes in its roof?

    interested in the logistics here...

    I can say with some degree of certainty that he must have perched himself precariously on the top of the pitched roof , hanging his derrier over the edge near the front entrance and waited patiently until the dog stuck his head out... I will try to upload a pic of this deed when I have time...

    Weather and shit.

    a little advert about watches or bracelets, maybe a necklace.

    OK it's unlikely the necklace was good but you'd probably buy the other shit.

    Classifieds.

    It's still fucking raining.

  • such lol

  • HAHAHAHA! POO! HAHAHA!

    repost.

  • Long-time lurker, first time poster here.

    After perusing this fine trainwreck of a thread and agonising over a dozen open evans/crc/wiggle tabs for the past couple days I've made the wholly sensible and logical decision to order one of the cheap Foffa Ones off Wiggle.

    'WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS!?' you didn't ask?

    • I need a bike not a project so it had to be something pre-built.
    • I'm in the Netherlands. The local used track bike market is basically nonexistent, and the scarcity of decent used OTPs drives their prices through the roof.
    • It actually comes in grown man size. Did you guys know the largest Charge Plug they make is a 56?
    • It's in stock (because no one wants it)
    • It's cheap
    • Cromo frame rather than hi-ten like a lot of its low-end brethren.
    • Looks alright for an OTP in this price class (I mean, between this, a 90s-in-a-bad-way Jamis and some monstrosity with a lime green chain and matching 80mm rims..)
    • I'm fully prepared to ditch the wheelset the minute those Quando hubs give me grief. Then probably get a better frame so I'm not wasting good wheels on a Foffa. Remember this thing is CHEAP, I could give it a brand new set of Ellipses and the total cost still be less than like, a Scott OTG.

    So yeah it should be here in a week or so and I'll be sure to document it falling apart five minutes into its maiden voyage for your schadenfreude.

  • I would love for you to be positively surprised and find yourself riding many happy miles without problems.

  • The biggest problem with Foffa is the poor set-up that tend to be plagued with.

    As long you or a decent LBS put it together, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • Not sure if it's been mentioned before but a FOFFA graces a page in this book

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bike-Porn-Volume-Chris-Naylor/dp/1849534810/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395061957&sr=8-1&keywords=bike+porn

    Regardless of whether they're that good structurally / mechanically, the one they've pictured isn't eye candy in any way

  • It's also pictured with a reference to london's 'Burgeoning Fixie Scene' and it's associated internet presence.

  • Books

  • Gargenville, thank you for ordering one of our bikes and as Kboy mentioned I hope you ll find yourself riding many happy miles with it.

    I am not sure whether assuming already that it is going to 'fall apart five minutes into its maiden voyage' puts you in the right mind frame to fully appreciate a very good bike for that price point, but I look forward to hearing your honest thoughts on it.

    All the best

    That book is parody, no? Venge are never porn.

  • The best part is that fucking pie plate.

  • That's the porn bit, everything else is otp

  • Was that book cover designed in MS Paint?

  • For a book supposed to be extolling the beauty of design and aesthetics, the cover really isn't helping its case.

  • It's probably a recycled cover from one of those book about websites from 2003

  • Can't wait to see what foffa monstrosity made it into that porn book.

  • Anything would be better than that Venge.

    Anything

  • It's one of those 'I'm writing a book about really really cool X's-how much will you pay me to include your pretty unremarkable X in it?' type of books really, isn't it?
