does it have a run dmc sticker.

This looks the biz, how much for one of those frames?
-
Ah, totally missed this. So the remark about belt drive RCS was a joke. And a funny one at that. And also probably true.
-
$200 for the complete bike in the U S and A. Fucking hell.
-
I understand the point here is the aesthetic.
Ok, case closed then.
-
I don't know what RCS is but I have plenty experience with roller chains and I'm pretty sure I've never had any problems caused by having too much RCS.

That black stealthy bike is called Nighthawk. How weird is that, it shares its name with the airplane it kind of resembles!!!
I'd actually ride that, although preferably with a different stem&bars. These are a bit fat and ugly. Oh and a regular chain, none of that belt drive bullshit.

he's not trying to kill it, he's trying to make you lot realise the roots of hhsb. There's a fine line between true hhsb and anti-porn. Making a cookie-cutter leader/dosnoventa/whatever with thomson seatpost/stem, compact drops, zoncolan saddle and deep wheels isn't hhsb. It's got to be out the ordinary, something different, something ridiculous, but not ugly. It's in the name, being a slave to fashion with aethetics over function.
For example
this is awesome
this is boring
yes it may evolve, but not to the point when any old bike gets posted here. There has to be some standards. Is it a hhsb or not? If not it shouldn't be here
just look at the first page, each bike is awesome. We can all look at pictures of sick fixies™ anywhere online, this thread should be for the best.
how is a mash a guilty pleasure? Or a full njs build? Should just be something a bit different, quirky, challenging, faintly ridiculous and uncomfortable looking. Bit daft but a lot of fun.
you really don't need to post 10 pictures of bikes at a time with a 50-50 rate of them being any nice or not, all it takes is those 2 extra seconds to think whether it's worth it or not.

No.
Next question.

Track Champ -> Drack Thamp -> Deack Tramp -> Death Trap
Illuminati what?

That's terrible.

Don't let Retrobike see this, they'll have your guts for garters.
Nothing against retrobike, but this thread is all about the bikes that can't really play with the matchy matchy period correct catalogue replicas you find on there. The random red seatpost on the GT LTS, the word "DIE" written on the swingarm of the Proflex, the sort-of-matching-but-not-quite fork and saddle on the Klein, the yellow tyres on the Cannondale. Things like that.

I owned one of these, sold it because I felt like a fucking prick riding it.
