Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

They were never good with communication at all, moving the production to the far east allowed a larger number to be build as well as keeping the cost down, I got the V2 version and still very happy with it (ridden a V1 before, can't really tell any difference between the two).

Only thing I missed is the trademark fork.

There is one gangsta I would own and that's Scoble's, so fucking rad.

It's based on a tried and tested geometry (60's Raleigh Track) that's perfect for road and track racing.

Really comfortable for eating up the miles, and plenty stiff for the track.

I've tired searching for one on the track but me no find?

I can see why everyone loves them though...

They look a lot of fun but they're just fugly in my eye's...

I didn't says you'll find them being used in track racing, just that it's based on an old track geometry.

60mm BB drop is plentiful for track racing either way, in comparison, road bike is around70mm, CX's 65mm.

This is my fav Gangsta, forum bike i believe.

this one gets used on the track apparently

yeah, tis a real shame indeed, especially as the clusterfork isnt the prettiest and really does make it look like a trick frame, anyone know why they were discontinued?

Someone said he did it on purpose as it was breaking already.

Either way, why in your opinion that they shouldn't do a rerun?

seen that, tis very funny indeed. surely the snap had something to do with those stalls he was doing though? that and the fact that it isnt a trick fork.

i like negaatio's one

My favorite:

and Pepe's, of course.

This is;

if we're talking about forum gangsta's, i think it has to be the brown donkey every time.
edit: beaten to it.
