Great video!

That part about fixed-gear hipsters is so true...

weight."

Ouch, that hit home as my Specialized Road bike is exactly that! Of
course to buy a CroMo frame these days will cost you a lot more than an
$8 aluminum frame.

Don't get much for five grand these days. As I demonstrated not too
long ago, even a dullsville bog-standard Waterford frame will cost
over three grand once it is actually a useful frame, and more if you
go wild with the options. By the time you've fitted mechanics and
accessories, you might as well have bought a proper custom bike by a
proper European custom maker.

These considerations make those excellent Rivendell bikes look like
bargains, if you must express your isolationism by buying American. Or
you could swallow your pride and stay silent while Bruce Gordon tells
you that if his bike collapses under your fat ass, it is all your
fault, nothing to do with him. He won't give you a lot of change out
of five grand either.

I should hope so. Where can I find, oh yes, police auction. Unless
your frame is full of vent holes I think it will float if made from
tubing, at least for a short while. No good as an anchor, at least
not in deep water. Prbably quite good on mudflats or possibly sand.
