Hipster or not?

I think I want to stand out more....

Knock yourself out...

is that a picture of your bike? get over it, it looks fucking nice. really, really nice. do not pass go, do not collect £200, do not blow it all on a fucking aerospoke. your bike will hate you for it, and you'll hate yourself for it. otherwise speak to ASM, he has some great dealz on 'Spokz at the minute I'm told.

They would go. (Correct me if I'm wrong) but they are used for bikes with derailers or chain tensioners. You get your wheel in the perfect position and then tighten the screws up to the axle. Then when you next replace the wheel you just move the axle back to it's position up against the bolt, quick and easy wheel adjustment.

ah i see, thanks. yeah take them out, if you cant fit a wheel straight you shouldnt ride a bike

my bike had a specially shaped mech hangar (held on by the wheel nut) and matching plastic spacer for the non drive side - an early tard proof solution i guess.

The bike in the photo looks nice as it is, but then I go more for the classic racer look myself. Lunch?

OH MY ACTUAL FUCKING GOD, trend over. it's gone full circle and now it's caught in a self-perpetuating frenzy of ironic self-loathing and neon apathy. i no longer understand the world.

pukes all over cock

Do I get a badge to say that I was the straw that broke the fixed gear camel's back?

Unipack have that badge already. Well, they made a shoddy version of it anyway.

We ran out of those in early 2007...

that's quite a mouthful, are you sure you'd want that written on a badge?

First bike- my bike. Second bike- lust bike.

Don't worry I PM'd ASM, I wonder if they've gone under fifty dorrah with the credit crunch? As I already said I put the Arrospok comment in to inspire a response. It was a long post and people are lazy. I shouldn't have known, this forum is always ready with a torrent of abuse. help, dismay, disgust and discussed!

Meh...

Hmmmm...

"Fixie killer" (comes with free cock sick)
"I put the brakes on fixed wheels"

No not good enough. I think I'll go with a certificate.

Talk to andy at fixedgearlondon, he has a good eye for what looks good, and can recommend good parts so you can have form and function.

The frame has quite a few bumps and scratches and I really want to do more work to it to make it truly mine. Otherwise I might a well have gone OTP.

Get a badge that proudly proclaims: I invented the word 'fashixie'

It will stop people misjudging you.

As long as you've got white tires, you're ok with me.

Remember; white tires.

Just get out and ride the fucker and don't be so bloody concerned about what it looks like - use any old part that fits and ride it till it breaks then worry about what to replace it with. A bike is not for wanking over, it can be aesthetically pleasing, but don't lose sleep over your coordination of NJS and vintage campagnolo (for example, I'm not suggesting you should mix drivetrains) unless you want to pose on it, which is a bit naff.

Fazered, i think you might need some counseling before your desire to please others consumes you and sends you on a shooting rampage/wanking frenzy in Morrisons.

Just try to relax and ride your bike x

A bike is not for wanking over,

Bastards.
You never said...

I'd suggest getting it to a point where it is rideable/enjoyable and go from there.

If you feel like a certain part would be a positive then try it, decide to keep or discard.

Simply repeat this process until you end up with a bike that you like, or bankrupt.

One of the two.

Aren't hipsters a kind of girls jeans? Why bring jeans into the equation? Just ride your god damn bike and enjoy it.

Who's cock?

'Whose cock' not 'who's (who is) cock' - I think all of us have been a cock at some point or another in our lives.

Unless you were asking who he is, and I have to say I know only one, and you don't know him.

^ proof

Who's a cock?

Isn't it obvious?
