Hmmm touch a nerve???
I think a couple of people have kinda read more into this than they should, the comment:
'it's just a bike with one gear not a license to cover your bike with silly 'one relly nice speed' stickers, beer cap stem caps, whiskey flask bottle cages etc'
I'm talking about a small one line comment to write on probably the chainstay in about 12pt text that 99% of people will never see and the other 1% will smile at. IF I wanted plain with no thought process I would have bought a langster or similar, I didn't I built something a little different and built it my way with what I had, and that is how I'll finish it, painting in colours I like with a small throw away comment on it that I want. I'm not trying to be part of any scene (hell I don't think I've met anyone else who rides fixed and have one friend with a SS mountainbike).
I know feel I'm defending myself for something I see no wrong in...
I need a beer!
