Fixed-Gear Article in the Observer 9th March

I want wheels to send his piece to Alice in a good natured way I am sure she would laugh, its damn funny

Wheels,

very, very funny. Thank you.

Wheels you really ought to email it to her

wheels, nice work. are you tynan? i think we should be told.

send it to the observer, if i were you..

Wheels, Thank you. The whole thing has now been worth while.

That isn't why I'm banned from the zoo though....

That photoshop is genius, haven't laughed so much in ages.

"The fixie’s simplicity and grace appeals to the fashion conscious, many of whom take customisation to extravagant levels, creating bikes with imported track-bike frames and hand-built wheels that cost thousands."

In what way i that a statement untrue?[/quote]

She's implying that the 'fixie' is for fashionistas that use the bike as a fashion accessory. Some do but 95% of us on here and elsewhere ride because we just like riding bikes, simple. Also, show me one bloke that has spent £1,000's on a bike[/quote]

Dick Luck spent £2000+ on a fixie. And that was more than 10 years ago.

Hilarious from wheels.

Don't be too critical of the people that spoke to Ms Fisher of the Observer. At least Roxy's quote provided a little bit of balance.

nimhbus wheels, nice work. are you tynan? i think we should be told.

Who else uses the word 'pejorative' in their posts?

Don't send it to her though. She wouldn't appreciate it. At least not till she's done her English GCSE.

ha!

We are still 3rd on the 2nd page when google Alice Fisher of the Observer.

I wake up this afternoon with a huge birthday/FA Cup hangover, read the paper, see the article, log on, read this thread, see wheels'/Tynan's Shop job, big smile...
I heart this forum... :)
@ Roxy & Andypancake: Is that a rock star "28"? I've been "28" for, ooh, 13 years now... ;)
Can't understand why they've got that King Kog pic on the page when a Roxy or FGLondon pic would've been the obvious choice... Silly article, very poor editorial, particularly enjoyed the extensively researched origins of fixed-wheel cycling...
My tuppence, I'm off back to bed...
