The Five Elements of Fixed Gear

Scott: well I ended up editing my own comment about the edit out!

the only problem I have with any of your post is that you're presuming I have a certain take on it and that that take........

........ seem to be posting. Sorry to bore / cause mass skim reading.

I am definitely just not cool enough to be in to be cool, as anyone who's met me will second! My bike is silly, too many matching aesthetics and no matching parts (it's a carbolite with a DA hub and a frame pad for a start), but it's my bike. Fuck it. I love to ride it and I've had a great time drinking and meeting with people from here because none of my other friends in London have a baldy when it comes to talking about the best way to pack loose bearings. There's something about the mentality of the person who rides a fixed wheel bike that I can associate with. There are those pretentious ones out there, but if I don't have the time for them I don't have to talk to them. As for the 5 elements, I think everyone's take on them will be different but just as justified as the next.

Now, back to Dragonforce, today is ridiculous day.....
