Pinarello, Colnago, Cervelo, etc., etc., etc. all buy their crabon bikes from the same 2 or 3 contract sweatshops in Taiwan. Sure they may play around with geometries, 'engineer' different diameters/cross sections or even add visual trademarks like bendy fork blades, but really how different are these frames? They use the same materials, are built using the same techniques, by the same people. All the bike companies do is add their paint, decals and badges. The rest is all marketing bullshit (is that an oxymoron?), just like Mr. Ax Hole.Chuuknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-18674723115444329052010-07-09T00:59:46.051-04:002010-07-09T00:59:46.051-04:00Summer is but a long gone memory here, and with it...Summer is but a long gone memory here, and with it goes playing what Americans call "hotshot" (I prefer dumb smoke sucking dirt scraper) with the tools of trade: chainsaw, axe and rakehoe. You can become quite fond of things you are using all the time and I must admit that I have prettied up my rakehoe a little - I do love pimping my hoe.<br /><br />American hotshots seem to prefer Pulaski tools to rakehoes for constructing fire¬line. Both tools are also great for general trail building. So who knows, if the hipsters in the new world order do take up cyclocross, you may well soon find hipster crews chipping singletrack out of New Yorks paved streets with artisan crafted Pulaski's (only after noon) and maybe even occasionally going hard at it with a bedazzling hoe.<br /><br />ceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-84338137980509711232010-07-09T00:41:05.847-04:002010-07-09T00:41:05.847-04:00Overheard coming from HTC Columbia team bus this a...Overheard coming from HTC Columbia team bus this afternoon:<br /><br />Well I'm hot blooded, check it and see. <br />The UCI wants to test my chamois. <br />Come on 'berto, can you race more than Lance?<br />I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded. <br /><br />Honestly, I just don't see how some folks can say the Manx Missle ain't no choir boy.leroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03489096287266831412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-44762557039743146862010-07-08T23:11:02.024-04:002010-07-08T23:11:02.024-04:00New York - Homogenized for your convenience!New York - Homogenized for your convenience!Fabiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-44798181778786766872010-07-08T22:18:46.184-04:002010-07-08T22:18:46.184-04:00the heat wave in berkeley got all the way to 64

However, I do have "an axe to grind" regarding the indispensable fakerjack accessory, the uh ... axe. WTF is up with strapping a pimped-out axe to your back, and wearing it in public? Is that okay in Brooklyn? I don't know the Big City (more people work at the Rockefeller Centre than there are people in my town), but even in my Arctic urban environment, that is officially known as "carrying a concealed weapon". If accosted by the PO-LICE, how does a hipster explain away the colourful yet lethal fashion statement hidden under his checkered shirt? What's next - Urban Samurai Hipsters, with metre-long artfully spraypainted katanas jammed in their eco-silk sashes? Billyburg Templars with lama-wool "chainmail" and decorative greatswords in engraved scabbards? There's no lack of manly identities ,readily purchased and donned, complete with the tool-cum-melee-weapon of your choice. Fuck this pretentious, lame-ass era of real-life "Ken" dolls. Just be guys and do guy stuff, that WILL make you men. Buying a pre-packaged masculine identity with overpriced clothes and accessories is nauseatingly effeminate. Dammit, most gay dudes are way more manly than that.Sigurdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648539914676822190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-31576942980311898542010-07-08T18:25:58.126-04:002010-07-08T18:25:58.126-04:00schwing!<a href="http://www.milanofixed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mcr-krasojizda-kolova-g30.jpg" rel="nofollow">schwing</a>!heathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797899758561854391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-73308995213491997622010-07-08T18:23:20.564-04:002010-07-08T18:23:20.564-04:00that Windsor is a bikesdirect bike.. and bikesdire...that Windsor is a bikesdirect bike.. and bikesdirect sells it for $279... wonder if some dumb ass actually bought that with a freakin' zip tied crank. yeah you might be able to mash downhill on it, but i'd like to see someone try to mash uphill on zip tiesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673522066746329739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-20767380464812218212010-07-08T18:11:37.393-04:002010-07-08T18:11:37.393-04:00if i were the "secret source in Maine" i...if i were the "secret source in Maine" i'd stop selling axes to this jerk-off after realizing that all he does is paint them and mark it up.<br /><br />Best Made Company = Best "Made Up" Company.Joachimnoreply@blogger.com
