@ debate over BMW being to expensive, yes it is in house and they do innovative shit and have for years and no it ain't charge or whatever so if you want it, the look etc, you'll pay for it cause no on elese is making shit that bespoke, for that type of riding. Personally it ain't me but wtf right.
Funny how every man and his dog wants the scene and the tricks and the little bits of individuality that are copied and mixed from other area's of cycling (which negates it being original) but fuck, someone design something that costs money and doesn't look like it should....
people slide into mediocrity real easy these days, and i ain't judging that on the price you pay for your ride, just on how people think about shit, cause that frame would have come from the streets, if ya been to NYC and you know the place and the vibe you know that frame reflects that, not saying it's going to fit in somewhere in italy but thats it's roots.
i got a classic bob jackson cause i want to remember my time in england here through that bike, cause a classic track.road frame is what europe is about - for me.
@ snapping shit, many people have a fixie, a bmx, a road bike, a mountian bike for the one reason that they function well and allow you to enjoy that area of riding. Everything else is JUST TRYING TO RE-INVENT THE WHEEL. You wanna do fakies, wall rides and get air outta shit - get a fucking bmx cause within 1/2 the time of developing skills you'll be getting twice as much air over shit and higher than ya mates and looking at one with the obstacle you are riding
form follows function
as chopper would say "fucking show ponies"
As for tokyo fixed gear, max new i wanted some bits but I really didn't have the budget and actually sourced me some second hand - decent bit of service that!!
Enough of typing on this rant, i am of to the trails to catch a little bit of air and experience some FLOW, the mtb, fixie and road bike will be staying at home
