Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

just needs a slammed stem for me

Agreed. Also what the fuck does he need a garmin for?

No name stem on a viva != cinelli grammo

looks like a Deda Murex, there was also some unbranded ones floating out ebay a while ago. I have one, might take an equally as hilarious shot with some BMX bars

Ahah. Fair play to all.

Hilarious

from mash's tour de california 2009-ride

in that case, fair enough.

thought it would be perfect for TTing the old street roundabout

It was Garrett Chow's...

The BB17 was here within the last 10 pages..

Why do LOW// insist on putting their logo on every tube on the bike?

One up there would look so so so much nicer with just the one big one on the downtube.

great car

shit tatoo

my thoughts exactly. Got only one logo on mine.

I was gunna say, to be fair to them it's the customer who chooses how many stickers they want.

That all black Low is lovely

Spotted this gaggle of slaves in Kyoto the other night.

Terrible phone pic, sorry.

all look anti tbh

^couple of decent looking conversions up there :D

Noticing a trend with Japanese slave bikes yet...?

Geared hipster sled

its almost like the bag is there to hide the fact it has gears

Some are really nice so i wouldn't say the two were one in the same

What - you mean like this?

(Just remembered this one's owned by an aussie so it doesn't quite prove the point, but NJS-based-jap-slaves can be exceptionally rad).

front wheel wrong way round, needs black saddle.

I was not aware of this haha.

Always thought they were really nice frames, but the loud/excessive stickers just bugged me.

^^ Tru, but perhaps it makes it more slave to wear your zipp back to front.
(on reflection, probably not)

Some bikes here are rad but they're few and far between. Most are pretty hideous, honestly.

There's a MASH with a Corima 4-spoke I'll try to get a pic of sometime which is nice, though. Although even that has jaunty bullhorns...

@jadias - Understand that the law is pretty strict regarding having mounted brakes in Japan, so it's hard to tell which are fixed or single-speed - what's the split like in reality?

Inexplicable slave fads from Japan are amazing though - one of my favouritse is the chopped-but-not-flopped hillclimber drops - giving you the worst of all possible worlds in the name of obsucre slavery.

(Apologies if this gets some youth questing for more "glossy photos of....." this image was purely to illustrate a technical point and I couldn't easily find any others!)
