If this bike is in new york, thats not a bad idea. You shouldnt label all fixies as hipster bikes or all fixed riders as hipsters, its a little narrow minded. Sure, there are those people that have a posh bike with all the jazzy expensive parts on it that havent been over ten miles an hour on the thing, dont ride a break and clearly are not skilled at all in the ways of a fixed gear. These people appear in any trend that sunddenly takes off and they generally dissapear just as quickly when whatever it is, is not so hot anymore, last seasons posh toy if you will, such as skateboards or "the cruiser board".However there are people who are generally into riding fast as hell, on a track bike, in cities, with expensive parts, that know how to use a bike without a brake and skid properly and all the rest of it. I believe its called shredding, and is pretty fun. Watch Mashsf if you haven't already, those guys are not hipsters, they just love bikes, whats wrong with that? what if that bike belonged to one of those guys or someone like it? Its quite possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684330415362203141.post-36799479399196887962008-02-24T17:24:00.000-08:002008-02-24T17:24:00.000-08:00Very informative post, thank you!I've bought some ...Very informative post, thank you!<BR/><BR/>I've bought some rattle-can paint to touch up a few chips and scratches on my frame, which luckily matches the colour almsot exactly.<BR/><BR/>However, I would consider repainting it at some point in the future that way.<BR/>Obviously I would mask things off properly, because I love my bike, but you give a pretty cool insight on what a bad paint job can make people think of your pride and joy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504351668503829449noreply@blogger.com
