javadude Posted July 30, 2009 Share Fixies were cool in the 80's when the movie Quicksilver came out. Those guys were hardcore bike messengers. Now that they have become commercialized just buying a fixie implies coolness. Its just not right i tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted July 30, 2009 Share My new SS MTB is finished. Will start using it for commuting once the Doc gives the go ahead for me to start cycling again. Looks like a really nice setup for a commuter bike. Way too nice!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that they have become commercialized just buying a fixie implies coolness. Its just not right i tell you. Not one of the bikes ive seen were bought as a fixie, and like I said in a previos post, thay need some schuff marks to be a proper fixie...

Its just not right i tell you. but surely there's nothing wrong in buying something like a madison or a bowery and customising it? would agree that getting something retro and building it up is way cooler.

I guess, i think i'm just becoming an old fart. I would like to find the new bikes appealing, but i just don't. I do however like a classic track bike in its original form.

AndreZA Posted July 30, 2009 Share Here's a question for all you boffins. Why not have the tensioner below the crank like on FR/downhill bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
