Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

prolly's bike from 2006 (just goes to show)

What are the key requirements? I always thought;

• spok (by any means neccesary - extra points for wheelchair wheels, plastic mag wheels, double-spok)
  
• 650 front regardless
  
• chopped risers
  
• ourys
  
• colour-coded chain
  
• short bmx stem
  
• haz barspinz
  
• haz brakless
  
• zero foot retention
  
• supreme sticker
  
• spoke cards
  
  
  

Nah, I'm talking a classy HHSB, refer to VVs posts on yesterpage or my own. Those ^ requirements just sum up anti.

or trick porn.

It's interesting about how Malaysian has posted so many bikes yet wasn't even a member during the HHSB era, he's probably not even sure who Tynan is

tynan.

Was.

the HHSB is alive and well, it's just matured a bit.

anyway, cool story dude!

Inshallah

straight outta 2009 :)

guilty pleasure

Guilty my arse, that's an absolute beaut in the flesh. Perhaps the most coveted of fixies for me personally.

Tynans Argon was a proper HHSB - Cant find a pic of his lightsaber seatpost though

Lightsabre post^

Ed's nicest bike to date.

The chrome pista with 1" a quill was my favourite.

straight outta 2009 :)

Love it. Even better in the flesh.

What are the key requirements? I always thought;
...

Too specific imo. I stand by my list. Although I'm having second thoughts on no.3, as I think one box section should probably be allowed. Or maybe some points based system with a minimum number of points needed for full slavery admission.

1. a track* frame (ideally of some rarity or providence),
   
2. at least one sticker or spoke card,
   
3. having rims no shallower than 30mm, unless there are less than 5 spokes,
   
4. set up for street riding,
   
5. comprising of no less than 3 street cred components,
   
6. built using a minimum £1k worth of parts @ RRP (i.e. total build) - bonus points for anyone who has spent +10% over RRP to achieve the final product, and
   
7. has some sort of aesthetic appeal no matter how remote.
   
   

• there maybe *some *remote exceptions...
  
  

Lest we forget, the Bianchi was strappless and brakkless!

maybe each one should open his own thread about the bikes that he/she loves. this thread confuses me.

mustn't forget this;

this is probably blasphemy but who is tynan?

OG Forumger considered by many to be a spiritual leader of our times

tynan does not exist.

^both of the above statements are true

chocolate donkey in loaded touring mode is my all time favourite forum bike.

My pista concept and the wife's bike - 2009. Would love to have these back.

And straight into storage until the HHSB revival... coming summer 2019

straight outta 2009 :)

Dave it's happening now whether you like it or not!

2012 the year of the double spokk and the return of the lopro....

Caspar, nice Bianchi, you speak as if you lost the bikes. Stolen or sold on?

What was I thinking?

Good things? Nowt wrong with that build

In 2007 no bike was safe from the corrosive affect of LFGSS fuelled hipsterism:

^ Posting your own bike in salve porn, tut tut... I hope it's seen a bit of road now!

by the way, this is bloody amazing:
