That is a really cool bike. I love the paint job.
If only DH hadn't placed a limit on the maximum number of bikes I'm allowed to own at any one time.....

For the fixie fans...

Here's a cool retro fixie I saw in Philadelphia this past weekend:
One thing that fixies are definitely good for is trackstanding. A block before I found this bike all by its lonesome, I saw the dude riding it hold a trackstand at a traffic light for probably a full minute. Very impressive!"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

No, the guy was covered with tattoos and I wasn't sure how long I had before he came back

He actually turned out to be really nice, though, when I saw him on the street again a few blocks later and complimented him on the bike

Y'know, you're right. Considering I have a few of my own, that was a silly inference on my part. Let's just say he looked a little rough and leave it at that Originally Posted by bikerHen

Well, there are tattoos and then there are...prison tattoos
How could someone who rides a bike like that be a bad person?
I was examining that frame a bit more and i noticed some details. I love that frame!Last edited by Zen; 08-02-2007 at 04:17 PM.

Philly's an interesting hodge-podge. I saw a lot of unexpected mixes of things, one of which was a dedicated bus/bike lane during rush hour. Now if that's not a safe combo, I don't know what is! Originally Posted by Regina
