  • Okay, so you have a fixed gear with knog lights, but somehow you're NOT a hipster? I'm confused. haha

  • Yano Tiny that day we did the thing, at that place, those jeans did look...quite skinny ;P

  • Yano Tiny that day we did the thing, at that place, those jeans did look...quite skinny ;P

    One thing I can never be accused of is skinny jeans :) The rest may be fair game, but my thighs are far to chunky to fit into anything remotely slim :)

  • I know I know, its the same with me.

  • Anyone who rides a fixed gear and can get into skinny jeans is a tool. Fact.

    Anyone who wears skinny jeans is already a tool anyway, but that's a separate issue.

  • Jeez guys you're being a little harsh.

    You have to remember, hipsters arent slaves to fashion, they are slaves to function, whether or not thats function as fashion is a separate issue.

    Skinny jeans are the perfect marriage of the streamlining of lycra and the durable riveted denim of workmen's & cattle wrangler's trousers (jeans). Its pretty clear that today's urban enviornment places intense demands on young trend setters.

    Squat/cafes often have poorly apolstered seats, easy to snag or tear your favourite pair of bibs/knickers but not if they are made from ruggid tried and tested heavyweight denim. But what if you are running late for a gallery opening? Fuck the art it'll wait (or can be ignored anyway) but the free plonk? It'll be gone. Thats why you need a track bike, focused for light weight and speed... brEAKS? They are just marketing and just SLOW YOU DOWN when you need speed. And what better way o shave precious seconds off you're coffee shop - studio run than with lycra... which we've already seen can't with stand the brutality of an urban fashionista's life... neh... lycra fitting jeans are the answer.

    I mean duh guys.

    If you are ride a fixie, brEAKless, with an aero helmet and AREN'T wearing skinny jeans you could be loosing 30 seconds a day due to wind resistance. Are you willing to take that chance?

  • You've just sold me on them anyway :)

  • Wanted: 25.4 track Ahead stem. Anything so long as its not too expensive. Also if anyone has silver track drops I'd be interested in them too.

  • 25.4..?
    What bars do you have?
    I was pretty sure that nearly all new bars had a 26 clamp...

  • NJS is all 25.4 anyway... not sure what else?

  • Pah, you and your Njs...

  • Leave poor NJS alone :-)

  • I think most track drops are 25.4. So anyone have a track stem or drops for sale?

  • Ok, planning on having a clearout to put some money towards a new frame plan... don't intend to sell my frame unless someone makes me an excellent offer but here's what's on offer:
