Yeah, in the US, the whole HHSB isn't celebrated.
But I see it all the time and I am jaded. I will ride the major paved trail on the weekends on a fixed gear with track drops. It's funny because every dude that has a dentist level Serotta but they'll sprang their necks trying to figure out what I'm riding. But I get street cred from roadies because I'm running 90's DA Lance pedals. It's like instant roadie ok status.
I actually had a pair of real Briko's. Long story short, I got them for $20. The real deal aka Cipo glanced at your mom wearing these and she's now 3 months pregnant.
I left my Briko's on a Seattle metro bus like 10 years ago and still feel jaded. And I would wear them under the straps with some dumb Araya disc, top tube sloping down geo frame with sprinkle paintjob (Laser type welds/webbing = bonus points), riser bars, and make those guys clutch their pearls/football Ronoldo flailing to their fainting couch.
