Forum mentioned in CTC mag

Unfortunately I now have to hand back my LFGSS membership, and leave this forum. As I don't live in Shoreditch (used to :) or even Londons famous London. And do not own a pair of skinny jeans or candy coloured Deep V's (they're black...racist!), or even fancy hubs.

It's been good while its lasted, bye bye :(

that's a fairly accurate description of hipsters.
not an accurate description of the forum as there are a dozen or so non-hipsters on this forum.

Name them...

I think I might be a hipster. I work for a media company right near the Foundary, my jeans are pretty tight and those sunglasses I won the other day well....

Those glasses are great... Pure 80s Miami... You need to grow your hair out a bit and get a sky blue linen suit (with the cuffs rolled up, natch) for the full TdF douchebag effect...

Good riddance. If you don't conform to the uniform, you're gone, sunshine...

I meant....

Harsh, but fair. I'll close the door on my way out.

Good ruidance you tree hugging ctc lover you..... come back when you've sat in a bath for four weeks in your favourite jeans shrinking them so your balls part like a camels hoof....... i'll lend you a pair of those £10 urban outfitter plymsoles... that will make you fit in with us with our flicked hairstyles.... grrrrrr

I quite like the fact we've made the magazine, it's funny. I couldn't care less what the forum has been classified as. After all they're only jealous because we are young and beautiful. :)

...and hip.x

The October edition of Cycling Plus magazine, does a feature on 6 SS/Fixed bikes.

Burls Titanium - 8/10 [9, 8, 7, 7];
Surly Steamroller - 6/10 [7, 7, 7, 6];
Pearson Cartouche - 7/10 [9, 8, 8, 7];
Fixie Inc Blackjack - 8/10 [8, 7, 10, 8];
Fuji Track - 8/10 [8, 8, 7, 7];
Condor Tempo - 9/10 [9, 9, 9, 9];

The overall rating doesn't always match up with an average of the test scores, but its subjective, rather than scientific.

There is also a brilliant article about why riding fixed is so beneficial.
In fact, I am now seriously considering it, at least to further improve my fitness efforts.

finally some recognition.

"Name them..."
not shure exactly what i am supposed to be justifying but here you go:
me, rpm,wayne, nihmbus, fixed wheel nut,BMMF,PJ,roberto,lucky,furious tiles, and others who i know by sight but forget their forum names.
oh and Hippy.

the majority of the above were cyclists before the hipster/fakenger term was invented, i guess they will still be cyclists when some other zeitgeist capturing buzzword fills the empty space in journo's heads.

you forgot Hippy, oh wait a minute...never mind, carry on

I was only pulling your leg...

i was only being facetious

Not got or like: skinny jeans, vans, black and white checks, velocity anything, Hed 3's, boho apendages, BLB, but like the forum. Must be a fraudenger, or maybe I should leave now.

Hmm, what is CTC magazine?
Also, if I have a rear mudguard on my off the peg fillmore with SS, wear and a helmet, baggy cut off army pants and a waterproof jacket, that disqualifies me as hipster, but makes me a boring commuter, right? Just checking ...

lol I have a Mowhawk, baggy three quarter length shorts, and a t shirt, so does that make me a hipster.

Plimsolls.
My pleasure...

mines just marker pen ;)

you go to any town in England, there are dozens of men with tattoos..

none of them are hipsters.

they are evil, violent men. Falsifiers, blasphemers and sodomites.

having said that, I'm ok with being a hipster, if that's what people who write words on paper want to call me.

Rob has had those since he was in the navy, when the word 'hipster' referred to a pair of trousers and old st/hoxton was where you went to buy furniture veneer, cheap suits, cheap whores on commercial rd and wholesale shoes.

Does that include marker pen as well?
