Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Alot of those bikes are not HHSB's - deep v's and a set of risers does not a HHSB make.

HHSBism is founded upon taking a combination of a frame that it would be totally ridiculous for any rational minded person to consider as a form of daily transport, combining it with a number of equally impractical components that must include at least one (ideally two) super deep section, spok or carbon aero wheels, and putting the whole thing together in a way that avoids the resulting build being dumped straight into Anti-Porn.

A conventional frame requires use of ridiculous tarck wheels in order to even begin to qualify as a HHSB - If said HHSB is based around an unusual frame, ideally an obscure late 80's early 90's lo pro or modern crabon track machine then use of aero wheels is not necessary provide said frame is clearly a ridiculous proposition for use on the road.

A HHSB should consist either of a "Murder Out" stealth look, where meticulous attention has been applied to ensuring not one component compromises this look, or else be painted in the most outlandish colourway possible whilst ensuring it does not look like Pengy.

It should be noted by anyone attempting to build a HHSB runs the gauntlet of finishing up with a machine that is straight up antiporn - a good place to start before building a HHSB is to google image search "Leader Bikes" and take note to avoid building anything resembling the disturbing images your search will reveal.

Bares repeating, while looking for one of my favourite bikes

Kalavinka?

Anchor (Bridgestone)

I would love one, they only seem to come in smaller person sizes though.

This has still got to be my favourite Cougar/Photo thereof

I do not understand why you would put a basket on a Vig.

GET the FUCK out...

Before it was multi-coloured lo-pros...

Excuse to repost this, one of my favourites...

This has still got to be my favourite Cougar/Photo thereof

Haha. Full of fucking win.

I give up: been trying to find Vinylvillain's lo-pro which practically defines HHSB, one of the first bikes I saw on this forum and at the time was completely alien to me. Sure it had a rasta colour scheme and double discs

This one

Dmayn91's build up of the old Fort...

This one

Yes that one, although that looks a slightly different incarnation. Blew my mind when I first saw it back in 2008 (or so), a real game-changer. Lush

Because it looks fucking awesome!

no.

On that lopro - well played with the colour coordinated cranks. Looks epic!

^^thats awesome!

Dmayn91's build up of the old Fort...

I'm sure Duke is too tall for the fort...

Dmayn91's build up of the old Fort...

anti >>>>

Needs a different stem/risers/compact drops/bull horns

slamdatpost!

If you cover the top half, build looks epic.

I do not understand why you would put a basket on a Vig.

What about on a bro-pro?
