Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Geared slaves is fraught and hugely open to (mis)interpretation - the "plastic wheels and road tyres" defence fails against the cancer of triathlon bikes
My geared bike has a glam frame, Cinelli Alter, and rad wheels - but it's completely un-slave as it conforms to the orthodoxy of the pro peleton in the mid 90's - A slave must be rad, and slightly irreverent.
IMHO That double spok landshark is a geared slave, the Janssen 979 is just a nice bike.

That Janssen is a VERY NICE bike

Sort the saddle angle out and that janssen has one foot in the porn thread imo. lovely bike.

The geared landshark is slave imo, Green atacs, plastic wheels, unconventional paint, pink tyres

Salve?

No.

Speedplays disqualify it instantly, no matter what the saddle is up to.

No.

Applies to most bikes on this page. We might have depleted the internet of HHSBs. I believe HHSBs aren't defined by some strict set of rules but some shit that's been posted recently just doesn't qualify at all.

Too many fools following too many rules.

yeah man, plan is to put all this plastic and hhsb crap on my romet and this will get some black araya and further 7600 treatment. got dem hubs already.
so that romet will be my gangsta whip, and bridgestone a sensible, civilized bike.

and that 3rensho looks like shit.

Who is balcony rider???????

Nice frame - but a truly bad build

yeah, build not the best.
the frame is tiny to begin with, but the rake and head tube angle look like rotten fruits from an ugly tree.
the rest you posted is nice though, love the forks on first one.

Not sure why I posted it I dislike it so much!! I think I'm just slightly fascinated by the geometry...
Head tube is so slack there's no way it's a 700/700 frame with a 650c fork & wheel.... presumably it's a pursuit frame for a very small person
Forks may be replacement as they look a bit brutal and It's odd that with a headtube that slack you'd want all that rake.

looks like 24'' front, its quite funny because I noticed the head tube angle, and thought "well, slacking a bit" and then had a look at the wheel, thinking maybe it was bigger than intended - but its 24 ffs, can't get any smaller can it?!
tell you what, how about you just edit that bike out so we all will leave it in peace of mind.;)

The gangly red one is

#whoisjohngalt

There's a photograph of him earlier in the thread, along with all his bikes and lots of his friends bikes. He lives in Sweden, I think.

slave conversion

that's a shame. needs gears.
