Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

If anything, the paint job is the least offensive feature. It's almost a homage to the fixie that started it all.

so bad

I keep seeing a one of them which is single speed with two brakes, it was the cable taped along the top tube.

Really top quality as ever from BLB

how are they still going? Parts are shit (hubs are ok) and often way over priced

They are hyped up as fuck. In my country if you say BLB even guys wet their pants.

I actually set foot in there for the first time in years the other day to see if they had a shim for a steerer. I won't be going back in again if I can help it.

When I first asked, I got a blank look. Then there must've been some sort of satellite delay to the brain as it finally clicked what I asked for. The fella then went to the side of the counter where there was a large box marked 1" to 1 1'8" Shims and told me how much they were. I can't remember exactly how much they were, but I remember scoffing at the price a little, possibly something like £5. Then I asked how tall they were, they were 50mm. Who needs a 50mm steerer shim? Most A head stems are around 40mm. I got told they could cut it down and pay for the labour costs. I didn't bother asking how much. I asked nicely at another bike shop and got given the correct sized item for free without bother...

fucking shit ha

dat valve extension doe....

They have some decent stuff hidden away though if you actually go in and look.
I went in and found a freestyle frame that I thought had sold out, and it was £100 cheaper than the normal price, so its not all bad.

They've got a few nice frames in the vintage corner or something like that and stock quite a bit of nitto I thought. Though, as has been mentioned, there all pretty expensive.

needs dat wheelset in my life, rest can burn
