sorry I'm directing one more thing at Dirty Harry SE1 - you may be wondering why your post caused such a stir so let me spell it out for you. Here's why.
1) The endless and intricate non-questions about your blessed frame suggest you think we are clamouring to get to know the amazing DirtyHarrySE1, which suggests you have an overinflated ego.
2) You might think the only people you'll stir up will be those people who you think you have summarised in your second thread. Not so.
I don't have to be gay to find the language you use offensive. Plus there are likely to be gay forum members on here who I know and like much better than you so fuck off with your attempt at ingratiating yourself. The reason why I say "likely" is because, actually, I don't go round asking people whether they enjoy fanny or botty sex or have a loving relationship with someone with a fanny or a wee wee, so I don't know.
I don't have to fall into the categories of fixed gear rider you think you have identified to find the language you use offensive. The fact that you think you have pushed buttons that matter or relate to people here shows how little you actually understand about the fixed culture here. There is room for hipsters and old schoolers and minoritist gripers and we already take the piss out of each other, try reading some old threads. There are probably a minority of cooler-than-thous too, though I haven't met any of them on here yet. But, really, you're way off in what you think is a clever summary of the different fixed elements.
The one about not speaking to girls and spoke cards - really, piss off. There are lots of people who have social problems who are geeks and probably do feel more comfortable with their bike than with a girl - and so fuckin what? Whatever makes them happy bell-end. I would prefer to be mixing it up with guys like that than with some wannabe high school jock like you, aggressive in his ordinariness.
