What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Well, TFG is too far to go and also they made a pig's ear of mending my trouser press the last time I was in there.

Tbh. I rarely have much luck with 'bike shops'.

Try a vacuum cleaner specialist next time you get a puncture.

Actually, fix that yourself, next time some more serious explodes on your bike.

the cunts in BLB swan around like they're part of some exclusive club, and if you don't know exactly what you are looking for act like you are thick as pig shit for not knowing, they've managed to turn a bike shop into one of those shower-of-wank designer clothes shops on shoreditch highstreet

^^Not far from the truth, sadly..

Meh... 2007 called, they'd like all their BLB-related gripes back...

^^^What the fuck is this?

Using a bike shop isn't part of fixed gear culture. You cannot offload your current project on some semi-pros, therefore everyone who has to pay for bike maintenance is a cunt.

They did a solid wheel build for me though, but not before ringing me up 2mins after leaving the shop to say "You do know these are tubular rims, right?"

"Yes, thanks, I know"

Last time I went in BLB the gaffer was steaming pished and was being really lairy. Shitehole.

I've been commuting in a sky blue John Smedley roll neck for the last two days. I have several.

Share then, motherfuck!

I wore a lovely navy merino rollneck out last night

I love a rollneck me

They look so smart, but you can only really pull them off if you're stick thin, IMO

I can't even remember what his orignal grievance was now

remember this john?

Reassured him it was a track frame when it's obviously not and it came to something ridiculous like £1500

yeah but that wasn't he came to us about

he wanted to sell it, then realised he was never going to get that much money back.

Needs raisers. BLB raisers.

Was it nicked?

Holy shit, where's the original for sale thread? I need a laugh.

And when you go to other fixed specialist bike shops round Europe, what do you see there? BLB products. So they must be doing something right.

"Hello China? Yes, I'd like you to get some child factory workers to copy these vintage italian components but in an array of tasteless colours so we can sell them to hipsters at a 3000% mark-up... You can? Super. Fantastic, thanks China, bye!"

yes, ed... We had...

lol
