why bring the word hipster into this Frown

to me it just looks like a huge amount of fun and generally great to ride, think its what the freestyles fixies should be more like, they don't need 700cs at all...

i thought they wouldve been more like monkey bike size
these look amazing!
have you looked at rough cost imported? cant be too expensive?

never ridden a fixie either, havent got that far yet
does look good fun

i like the pink one in the first vid, looks like a specialized p frame

love how they have the option to just ride how you like, i could do any style of riding i like, i know it would be sooo fun through rush hour, short wheel base and small wheels but still the ability to ride fast, perfect!


and they ship to america and i have family over there, so maybe one day ill get the money and figure out how to get one, its possible!


if they put that on a good bike site they would sell like hot cakes

just because some japenese hipsters ride them dosnt make them hipster

admit they are giving the bike a bad rep but just showing what you can do with them, just imagen some one like chris akrigg riding one, that would be sweet

(just emailed him telling him about the bike Razz hope he reads it)

haha yea I am tempted to try it on a shitty bike with a basket Razz

It took a bit of hunting to find you that link. I went through a blog, that linked to another, that linked to YET another....which provided the manufacturer. So now you have a starting point Smile
