Come on lighten up a touch... i thought it would raise a few oppinions tho..
We all know that theres hundereds of people out there that stumble across a few fixie videos on vimeo and ask daddy to buy them a bike. or are eating bagels down bricklane and see it as the latest trend to get into..
i agree you shouldnt buy a bike on its gear ratio but.. i already have chain rings and cogs of that ratio they sell on the otp and if im going to buy a complete i dont want to spend a extra 50 pound on top for a chainset and cog then maybe find out my cranks dont fit or need to buy extra chain links etc..
after reading alot of posts i would asume there is no great winner sitting around the £500 for a otp, as it just seems to be down to ownership of a bike or a personal taste for every good comment on a bike i read theres about 5 negative wich has left me with great confusion.
and as for this question i think you answered it yourself..
Who pushes their bike around in front of their mates? probably on Broadway Market while they shop for ill-fitting vintage check shirts and deck shoes?
Sorry to talk so much in a post and this thread is actually a very helpfull thread would like to thankyou for spending your time putting it together. i know i probably come across arrogant but its all in good humour.. sobs
