The saddest thing is the only affordable places left are Edmonton and Forest Gate. And they're not even scuzzy - just shit.

That is the way it is everywhere I have any knowledge of that is gentrified much. SF has the Excelsior. NY has Queens. America has Detroit. Berlin has Steiglitz.

living in the tenderloin (SF), I wish there was a little more gentrification.
it gets annoying walking up the street everyday being offered all sorts of drugs, watching people smoking crack and generally pissing/shitting on the streets.

on the plus side, we have some fucking awesome dive bars that don't cost an arm and a leg for a beer (although you might loose said arm/leg on the way home)

I grew up in the country/small town in Northern California. I escaped to SF when I was young. I remember walking up Leavenworth (in the Tenderloin) for the first time trying to get to Golden Era* (RIP). A dude asked me if I wanted an "outfit". I said "no" as I felt I looked pretty good, and I didn't trust his sartorial taste.

Cool story eh, bro?

*Vegan vietnamese restaurant. semi religious cultish. good lemon 'chicken'.

Second for me. The third word (after Foffa Bikes) is 'bespoke'.

in other news the only people ive seen wearing carhartt and redwings so far in nyc are workmen.

i live in brooklyn but havent been to williamsburg yet but i gather everyone has left there now and are all in bushwick/flatbush/bedstuy

Can't wait for Brooklyn's gentrification to spread into Cypress Hill. Shit's gonna kick off.

Hi by the way, first post!

My friend lives in Brooklyn and has to choose between the barbershop with the single estate coffee or the barbershop with the craft beer when he goes to get an expensive beard trim. They are both on his block so the choice is hard.

It is sad, because here in Berlin the only expensive beard trimming place only has mineral water. Germans need to get on the ball when it comes to gentrification.

Very fast, aero saddle angle. First to try will buy.

Bought for £619

So a real bargain too!

(or anywhere [http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=foffa&_sacat=0&_from=R40])

You might even say that he is turgidly engorged with blood! (amidoingitright?)

I had unfortunately insulted his saddle angle. It turns out it wasn't so bad. I was apologising.

That yellow thing is skirtluvzzz isn't it? Must be in non rainy sportive mode in that picture.

I'm not so sure. If you look closely you can see a 'winter crust' has formed on it.

Oops I was wrong, the saddle angle looks fine.

Proponents of the downward angled seats, remember whose side you are on.*

We are well aware the saddle is not at a rideable angle but for the picture we thought this would give a more aerodynamic look, which is the only reason we took it this way, we would never give a bike to a customer set up this way. As for the 'fucking gimped bars' these are track bars and the angle is based on people's preferences so I am not entirely sure what all this criticism is about.

• Its the lime green chain side. Or maybe the nuts on the top of your top tube side. It's also probably the 40 pictures of your bike with different horrible bar combinations side too.
  

if you lot are so fucking concerned about the quality of the bikes hes selling, why dont you chip in to buy one and let someone ride it around town for a few months for a review, like whjat was mentioned years ago when people thought about chipping in to buy Jos a Create and see how long it took him to destroy it. Put your money where your mouths are

I wasn't around then, but didn't that end in tears?*

I am with people saying that it comes across pretty lame dogging this dude's bikes and then asking for a free loaner bike. It's weird.

That said, his attitude does not make me ever want to be near one of his bikes. Also they look like they are poorly 'bespoked' shit.

*'tears' being that the bike was purchased and given to him to use on the job but he ended up not riding it after all?

So much money spent on a fauxie.

Yeah but tastefully color matched to the trash can .

Is Charge the only cheap off the peg brand that people consider 'kindof ok'? It is so close to being a Create, even uses some of the same letters!

They should wear them backwards when they are away.

in case you missed the sweet fadez of the Jacksonville Jaguars's helmets.

For a second I thought I was going to have to watch those horrible two tone half matte-black helmets. I was relieved that I had my east-coast-big-cat teams mixed up. Sparkly panther helmets much more acceptable.

Would rather the 9-bros were facing the Jag's offence though.

That is a nice bike, I myself lust after a somec road bike. What about it is hipster salve though? The water bottles? I mean, I get it that this is a troll but just wondered what you were thinking.

In addition, the only people who would legit find that angle the most comfortable are those poor souls born without a coccyx.

If any of you but multi grooves ever finds yourself in a Spanish bike shop be prepared to be laughed right out of the building when they see your perpendicular-to-gravity seat. Also bars.

So much potential

For what?

I almost died watching the niners game. I am for sure on the wrong side of the "sports are a fun distraction/sports are misery" coin. At least where SF Baseball Giants or 49ers are concerned.

Aside from the first and last this page has been POC as fuck!

That Anderson Silva leg was the worst. I never want to see that again.

Forcing rat, surely = HHSB?

Forcing rat == filing down your selvedge denim to create wear patterns and adding creases behind the knees.

I'm not saying for sure that it is not HH, but I am saying for sure that it can >>>>>>>>>
