Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

It is HHSB.

How so? I see a ratbike. A very very nice rat, and one that is already in the ratbike thread, but I don't see a slave

High quality and relatively new/expensive track components (e.g mavic Ellipse, sugino 75)on a tight track frame.

Colour coded black with tight clearances.

It is a also a rat but very slave IMO.

Because its just something kind of awesome that you would actually own or ride.

So I keep coming across bikes like this I like, they're not porn, not anti, not rat/beater/frankenbikes, trick, Lo-Pros or polo bikes...

So I thought it was about time we had a thread to discuss and admire our favourite guilty pleasures... I'm not talking HHSB as in colour coded everything, supreme stickers and ironic saddle angle.... Just something kind of awesome that you would actually own or ride.

Welcome to the HHSB thread!

Maybe I'm being pedantic but I don't think it's extreme enough for hip hoppery. I love it, but as a rat.

Prap, those are all reposts, sorry.

Sorry __-"

Can someone get that Navy Low and spray it a fucking respectable colour please?

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.

Fuck this hhsb /rat debate is boring. We don't need rules to know what is and isn't hhsb.
