All this "hip hop slave bike" bullshit is starting to sound a bit gay. If a bike looks good it looks good, regardless if it has an expensive flash aerospoke or not. who gives a fuck!!

It's only a bit of a piss take, you know a laugh, a ridiculous name for a certain type of bike, made up to sound stupid, a bit of fun.

It is an idiom no more silly than using the word 'gay' to mean rubbish (as you do above).

Now then, do you want to see my new gay hip hop slave hubs ? :)

yep! are they going on the carbon bridgestone? ;)

arrospokadiddlydamnations! hot fix-a-diggedy damn, that's a sooper-dooper sooped up cool high-fly piece of kit my bike brother, respect and hi-fives to go, Hipster.

Been lurking for a while but thought I'd briefly say hello seeing as someone papped me at the Chancery Lane traffic lights. Was that anyone on here? I'm a "fakenger" riding a Charge Plug wearing chequered Vans.

Saw loads of people on fixed-gear bikes at lunch time but I don't have the cognitive capacity to remember any notable characteristics.

Go on tynan, show us your hubs darlin'...

Let there be camera snapping. . . . .

Weekend sorted . . . .

uuuhhhh you git i want those, so hot right now...

there's nothing gay about those hubs, apart from the price of them. They'd look rather nice on my bike :)

Phwooar! Wot A Stunna!

Man I love the 1664. 8 for £6.

And the Phils. 1664 for 2.

Just saw 'Birthday Boy' off Charlotte.
Nice looking bike there sir!

tynan has got shit wine but a nice inhaler.

I hope you don't scratch those hubs too much when you build them up

Beer then wine - fine.
Wine then beer - makes you feel queer.
Or is it the other way round...?

that wine is shit it's ribena/wine for people who don't like real wine. the beer is shit too (if it's brewed under license over here).
the hubs are different class comparable to a 2001 Gagnard Delegrange chassagne Montrachet 1er cru.

Tynan, was it you that added 'Hip Hop Slave Bike' to this page?

Quite funny if it was but even more funny if it wasn't.

Wine is shit full stop.
Canned beer should be banned.
Not used ventolin (yet).
White hubs are no good for someone who never cleans bikes.

In Oxford (as in city, not Street), Alexis of OCW fame riding past The Cape last night, then a filmore locked outside Aziz on Cowley Road and a pretty dark red Dawes conversion with chrome lugs a few streets further on (both SS I think). Then this morning a slack chain™ 'sit up and beg' type fixed job outside Cowley Road Tesco.

Matt and Mary, yesterday, coming down from Shaftesbury (passed the Crown, where I was happily getting post-exam shit-faced) towards High Holborn or New Oxford or whatever it's called there.

What time were you there Horatio? I was in there for a couple early evening too, since it's 10 secs walk from work.

From about 2 - 8. Were you on the lavender bike?

nah, no bike. Just me and a couple of guys sitting outside in the beer garden out front

A bloke on a maroon (I think) fixie along the embankment in Chelsea at 8-half 8 nodded at me (in approval perhaps) is that one of you here?

I'm the bloke on an almost standard shiny Bianchi Pista, rolled up jean and baby blue t-shirt carrying a rucksack.

Bumped into Rik over Tower bridge as i was doing my 'long lap' in prep for the L2B next weekend.
Good to meet you mate!
