Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Can i just say, I would not spend my money on a dosnoventa. I was there a couple of weeks ago as a holiday and convinced the better half to go have a wonder around, the guys at the shop were very un-professional and not friendly at all, they were discussing the names for the new frames, Im sure shangai was one of them. They seem to care more about making money that making people feel welcome at their shop, I congratulated them on a lovely shop, but clearly they only made it for the money to be made. hence the prices and new frames coming out. I would NOT recommend them, rather spend £600+ on a custom frame made in England! .......rant over

i meet them 2 years ago and all of them were super friendly. offered drinks and snacks, invited us for a bbq, we had free sleeping places and so on. but it was the time before they released the dosnoventa frames... just my personal 2 cents.

I like that a lot...frame suits the tifosi's. i just threw some gold on my slave...but not to the same extent

THIS^^ & THIS^

Prior to the DosNoventa frames being released the guys and store have been straight up and really friendly, however since the release and the growing popularity and essence of coolness some people associate with being involved (no matter how little) with the store and the dosnoventa team, the good friendly attitude has been replaced by a sense of arrogance and superiority. Old friends (i'm not one by the way) etc have been ignored and forgoten whilst brown nosing hypesters and people who they think can help grow the image have been indulged.....

hopefully the fake and fickle will be found out and the original feel will return when they realise these persons shortcomings.

Putting the hiphop into HHSB - they've gone from "sitting out on the step" to hiring accountants.
I think the next step is to become overly concerned about your reputation and how you compare to rivals (this is the violent stage in the evolution - starts with a shove and ends with a shovel etc - perhaps a steel vs. aluminium war with dodici) and then in the end they'll sell to Trek and noone will care anymore.

HHSBs beware...

Classic police discrimination, they're just jelly of Fade's haircut

Stupid twat.

Although I don't particularly agree with those stickers myself, as I find that if I want to be offensive, I am quite capable on my own, and do not need any assistance at all, even so, the bloody police should have been doing something useful, like stopping a crime, or even being a crime preventative, rather than spending 10mins of time we pay him to do just those things which he spent writing and putting that on your bike!!

Bell end.

Just for the record it's not my bike, colleague sent me the link at work, no idea who's bike it is :)

its Fades'

Ah, didn't see you'd written that.

So much for freedom of speech!

I've seen these stickers on a few bikes but i dont quite get the meaning/point of them?
I imagine london plod will have been told to watch for stuff that may offend/give a bad impression to the forthcoming influx of visitors...

I don't know why, none of us wanna see 'em!! ;P

I think they are taking the piss out of 'supreme' which is oh so achingly hip darling. http://www.supremenewyork.com/

So, is it against the law to use that word?

I think thats the first, and last, time I check out what Supreme is all about, what a total load of ego tickling bullshite hipness.
If I ever become that delusional, I authorize any of those who read this to shoot me in the nads.

I think they just opened a shop next to Tokyo fixed, but I'm not cool (or rich) enough to go in there.

Have to clarify that, no problem with their sclothes and stuff, but I read the "About" section... to hear them say it, they created the New York hip scene single handedly.

... for some reason I am in a rather abusive mood today, maybe I should cut down on the caffeine... maybe replace it with booze! :D

It's the bloody olympics!

Jeez... It's ONLY a skate shop. Attitude like that shpuld be water off a ducks back for any of us hipsters. I'm sure you'll be fine dear. Two shops/brands getting blasted on one page. Anyone got any radical sled photos?

You got a larger picture than this of the green?:

Looks cool.

sadly not. I wished I did :(

I know what was fundamentally wrong with that build: It needed black components and especially deep black rims (to work with the fat alu tubes). Then it would'a looked fucking ream.
The current GT looks much better.

Next sticker for Fade's bike:

If that was me, I'd ring up and ask why a sticker I'm displaying on my property is unacceptable? Police are around to enforce law, not to be moral zealots. I gave one a fucking huge rant after he collared me for calling my friend a 'wanker' across the street.

Offence only works if someone is offended, not because it might be offensive.

Absolute bullshit.

Not too sleddy but enjoying my new whip...
