@poots: That's like writing a review of a book you haven't read.

I read the York Notes - that's enough, surely?

Jesus.

I'm waiting for the movie* to come out before I make my mind up.

The Max Crowe Diaries.

The film is never as good as the book though HB!

Don't you need a degree in design from Hatfield Poly in order to write a blog?

Or are standards slipping?

Even you could write a blog then, Clive?

Mr O has his own TV chanel (sic).

This is the best blog on the meganet - FACT!

Snore...

yawn

so critiquing something you've never even seen in real life is a plus for you? Or you just like boasting about posting absolute crap?

Works for Scoble

Blog writers = bollocks writers: keeping a blog is the new "being a dj/fashion stylist/property developer..."

Bandwagon jumpers, the lot of them.

I hope that you are not including the amazing reproman blog in that.

Lots of this.

Have been using swrve jeans for about 4 months since getting caught out (at work) with a wash cycle on a wet day in the middle of winter. got them from condor who were actually cheaper than most of the online outlets (I checked afterwards becasue I hate getting ripped off).

been using them heavily. they are so good I'm considering buying more pairs just in case the hide wears out - but mine still look brand spankers(ish) and i use an Adamo saddle which is probably worse than most for localised pressure/wear.

best £75ish I've spent.

Then surely you're using the saddle wrong. You shouldn't have any inner thigh chaffing at all. Which model are you using?

Some of my best friends are pots and kettles.

did someone mention FREE STUFF

That is not a post about jeans, that post is a reaction to the hoards of bloggers that will suck a polar bear’s dick just to get something for free. Levi’s had been going around throwing their money about buying up bloggers left right and centre by giving them free product so seeing as they’re a huge multi national brand (not cyclists trying to make a living) and the products in the range are wack I decided to bash them.

They were going to send me a box of this shite, read my post and subsequently changed their mind. I simply don’t need a denim cycling jacket or seriously lame features on a pair of jeans (neither do you) and I will not be bought by a big brand muscling in on our passion and competing with rider owned companies like SWRVE.

The way blogging works is that one person gets to say whatever the hell they want, thousands of like minded people agree and become regular readers, some disagree and don’t come back and a very small minority (usually from London in my experience at least) bother to bitch and moan and talk shit on forums whilst letting their dog lick their balls because they can’t get a girlfriend.

The vast majority of fixed gear blogs exist simply to repost other peoples content, kiss ass and get freebies. I’m the opposite and a lot of people respect that, if you don’t then don’t read, thats how I like it and posts like the Levi’s one weeds out the people that think differently to me, it’s how the world works. Not everything is great and some people just don’t get on.

Repped for being honest (if cynical).

The problem with this forum is that everything gets out of hand too quickly because a lot of members get their backs up at the drop of a hat, there’s no winning. You can’t possibly deny that.

Dissing someone for having an opinion by voicing your own opinion will always just be the pot calling the kettle black and it will go round and round and round. You can’t amicably disagree with people here, it’s not possible.

The funny thing is that my blog represents much of what this forum and it’s members represent, far more so than many of the other fixed gear blogs but the only time anyone says anything on here about it is when they give it the old “look at what this guy said about so and so product” which soon descends into a short lived witch hunt, it’s a shame. I constantly preach about loving cycling more than bikes and all the bollocks like tri-spokes, stupid bars, ridiculous tight jeans and all the other shit that gets bashed on here but there you go.

This is all bollock though. You've bought into the image side of 'fixed gear' gear more than most. Now repent by shaving your legs and doing hill repeats on your road bike.

Swerv only go up to 34s which is really silly. It is done on the basis that cyclists are thin rather than as an encouragement to fat gits like me to cycle. I will have to see if 38s are ok. Let's hope so. It would be good to have a pair of jeans that are comfortable for cycling.

DIdn't know this. Pretty poor form....but that is one of my biggest issues with fashion and 'designers', they make stuff that fits on a 30x30 mannequin instead of designing stuff to fit the average person in the street.

Well said DeadJoe. You're points are very valid and it's a surprise to see that many on here that would normally back your stance have chosen against it. But it is possible to have your strong view point and navigate through here minus your prickly way with the readers here.

The average person in the street doesn't ride a bike.

And is fat.

Just admit it you have a massive crush on Rossfromtheblogwehate and have fantasies about shooting your load in his manly face fungus. This is the only explanation I can think of for you continuously dredging up this shit time and again.
