Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

That's an ugly bunch of bikes SadR mate!
I'm quite impressed with the pedal reflector on the rhp.

They do look quite narrow but I expect those are PDI longneck XL grips and I doubt the bars are narrower than drops or bulls and people often ride on the tops of those.

They are ~ 35cm so narrower than any bullhorns.

You hear about narrow riser affecting breathing but I never found it to be the case. Not great when you increase the effort, but ok in town.

saying that though.
ODI XLs are 230mm long.
so a pair of them equals a fairly comfortable set of risers

Combined with 260aa they are perfect fit...

Cloth tape looks great, ODI Longneck XL are super comfy though and look good...

^^ do you not miss that shit Tom!?

Yeah a little, almost bought gypoben's big white beauty as a substitute....

Sirius rides great though, and the sun is shining in Yorkshire, just dusted off the Condor for its first ride of the year, so nice, so excited (:

Didn't we all agree about 5yrs ago that carbon wheels should not be on steel frames?

Five years ago I was riding Hetchins through France and was just about to discover this fixed gear crack, so I can't comment.

Er, isn't this HHSB, where all the usual bike porn rules get broken in the name of straight up radness?

Radness, madness, fadness and sadness

Loooool

I had a hot pink aerospoke drew to much unwanted attention from thieves and what not so decided to sell it, its been a nightmare so far can't shift it at all. If you go pink its definitely a big commitment.

I'm sure a hot pink dosnoventa is fir easier to shift than an aerospoke.

Are the straps black (they look red). If they're black I'll swap for double clips and exustar straps?

They are red boikzmoind straps, I was given them at the london premiere as a thanks for my trick section. 1 of 5 sets, wouldn't ever get rid of sorry !

They didn't look like they enjoyed the ride one bit...

Why were they going so slow? Was it way steeper than it looked? Either way. Fail!

I doubt it was that steep, I have videos looking down mountains and they all seem far steeper than that.
Notice at least one of them also had a front brake, my guess is that they're not very confident fixed riders.

It's way more effort to go down it that slowly then just spinning.

Yup, especially such frequent skidding when you have a brake.

18% apparently, no brakes.
Strapless with road shoes and he unclipped.
Idiot.

No ones fault but his own.

That was lame, here's some brakeless bmxers making that hill look much more fun.
