  • I take it you didnt buy yours in the last year...The sooner that half those who have, get rid of them the better. The scene is nothing more than a way for dumb highstreeters to gain some identity and probably now all write on here like they've been riding SS since their paper round
    you know who you are

    What a bag of shite!

    Fixed gear merely a scene? This sums it up for me.

    "Underground? Started in the 1800s, biggest race in Europe/World ridden fixed, Britain smashed it on the track at the biggest sporting event in the world this year, roadies been training and racing fixed for ooh ever.. and don't get me started with "pastime".. it's my life mofo! :)"

  • Stop being a close minded elitist ..

    he's not being a close-minded elitist philjay, he's just being an utter dicksplash.

    The next "scene" will involve tweed and penny-farthings. Keep up everyone!

    Tweedyfarthengers FTW!

    Whatever he is. I don't like him ;)

  • Every year on the IoM about a week before TT, every shop places a nice motorbike in the window.
    Some use classics and some use modern superbikes and the shops range from the local chippy/hairdresser to Woolworths (RIP) and Tesco's.

    Its just advertising, move on.

    Philjay - Why worry the guy clearly does unspeakable things to his bike.

  • Fuck it why worry. Amuses me how fashion picks things up, uses and discards them in an instant. Had a kid asked me if I'd heard of Nirvana, almost died of shock when I told him that I'd seen them live and that I saw Metallica when Cliff Burton was alive.

    Don't worry though, I'll rescue you from Top Shop. A 38 year old teacher riding a twatster. I'll tell the kids I'm the cutting edge of cool. That'll fuck things up for Top Shop!

  • You sir are the saviour of those fixie riding hipsters.
    YouTube - Queen - Flash

  • Ha Ha - I cycle through Feltham on my way to work, Brian May and Freddie Mercury lived there.

  • So essentially we have just all been verified as the coolest cultural group of the moment by Britain's largest clothing retailer.

    nice....

  • 100% Cool.

  • By which I mean.

    I feel soiled yet again by the shameless capitalisation of yet another fringe interest group of which I am a part by a huge company for nothing other than a shameless attempt on their part to exploit something which they are in no way contributing to but from which will undoubtedly profit.

  • 100% Cool.

    That almost put me off my beer....almost :)

  • COOL

  • Personally I hope the bubble does pop and we get some cheap components back on the bay. I was sort of hoping shopping bike were going to become more cool, so at least keep em youngsters riding something.

  • COOL

    God's wrath indeed O_o

  • ^^^^^^^robin what the FUCK is that?! is that real?!

  • People who come to the party late don't loose any authenticity because they're late. Authenticity in a scene is based on how much you enjoy it and what you do with it, not when you started.

    Sure, I bet a couple of people have got into fixed wheel bikes because it's trendy, but a fucking load of people (me included) have started out of curiosity and found out they really fucking enjoy it. That's pretty authentic, whenever you started.

    If you don't like people co-opting your scene, go ask punks how they feel, or skateboarders.

    Also, Philjay, I fucking love that video.

    ice storm. real cool.

    I am a punk and I was a skateboarder.

    I dunno, the last window display I saw there was just loads of multicoloured tights.

    So really, you're on a par with hosiery.
