i'm not annoyed. just slightly bemused by how many people think it's worth spending money on £300 colourful plastic wheels but the idea of spending money on getting a bike that fits them is beyond them. which if you are going to ride it any reasonable distance is quite important.
you only have to see the nodders twiddling down the road hips and shoulders rocking away to see that most people have their saddles too high and bars too narrow, maybe they think that riding fixed means you have to hunch your shoulders and lock your arms straight?
riding a bike on the road should look effortless not like a nodding monkey on acid.
