there [I]can't be anyone who's got into fixies without reading Sheldon..[/I]

this dude did.

but its funny you bring up styles because i noticed that last years langsters are all very distinctly imitating the style of bikes in the city they represent. london with a more tradictional track look, new york with the short bars, chicago with the bullhorns, ect. this year they all kind of suck. the SF looks like a nicly decailed 70s inspired bike. the tokyo is red black and gold and inno way looks like the bikes they ride there. witht the success of these bikes one would have thought that they would have put more detail into them again this year.

I meant whoever did it.

*they ARE coming to GET HIM......*

Hmm . . . where i live in West London fixed riding is still a rarity and most of the practioners seem to be old hands who have been fixed up for a while, though there has been a notable increase in SS OTP riders in the last couple of years . . i rarely venture to shoreditch and hipsterland, but when i went to check out BLB i was amazed and highly amused by the hipster epidemic.

The scene in the East end seems to be very fad like, with a lot of band wagoners whosed fixed is probably just another accessory to them.

Now obviously thats a massive generalisation as i know alot of you boys from over that way are as had core bunch of fixed riders as you will find anywhere, but it does seem to me that riding fixed is currently flavor of the month, and as such the London scene seems to be more fashion orientated than other scenes.

see thread 'condor has landed' for confirmation of this alarming phenomenon.

I think the London scene is swinging away from the ghetto and back out into the suburbs and the commuter belt. Those in the know are definitely taking elements of culture and style from the new towns, each with their own distinctive planning aesthetic. The hotspots right now are Harlow, Milton Keynes, Basildon, and Crawley.

he's a coolhunter, like cayce pollard.

that might be a problem for the medical staff...

white's big on the agenda for doctor's coats, as you know

I mean how does he know these things eh? Ahead of the marketeers and the design teams? I mean he's right - sure he's right - but to have the generosity to open his little shop door and say hello to the little boys with their noses pressed up against the glass... lovely.
